    @fabgeekmom Thank you ! That was nice for your cousin to give you some turkey. The pork recipe sounds tasty. Oh gosh, that is cold! Good job pivoting.

    Hi all. We went down to the waterfront and walked around there, then walked to Little Italy and had a slice of pizza. It was nice. I got in 12,597 steps in total. My knee was hurting a lot by the end of the day. We made our not-so-mini post-Thanksgiving meal last night. We didn't eat until 9 pm because we got a late start! It came out really well. Today, I have to drop off art at two different art show locations. I'm trying to keep everything straight in my head lol.

    Water intake yesterday: 16 oz

    @trooworld That was a lot of steps! Too bad about your knee. I’m glad your meal was good. Hi, all. It was warmer today so I went for a walk. My daughter is preparing dinner tonight. She’s making sheet pan honey mustard chicken with broccoli and sweet potatoes in the air fryer.

    @fabgeekmom Yes ! Thanks. Good job with the walk. That's nice it was warmer. That dinner sounds healthy and delicious.

    HI all. Yesterday was nice: I got everything dropped off and was able to spend part of the day reading and then doing art. I made black bean burgers for dinner. They came out well. Today was the first day I tracked my food in about 3 weeks. My goal is to track every day this month.

    @trooworld I’m glad everything went well yesterday. The black bean burgers sounded good. Good job on tracking. I’m trying to get back to regular eating. I did well yesterday until I ate some of the pecan pie my cousin gave us. I paid for it with a stomach ache and poor sleep. Luckily it’s all gone. Hi, all. It’s colder today and luckily today is a swim day. My son is making seafood paella and savory cornbread for dinner.

    @fabgeekmom Thanks . I'd also like to get back to regular eating. We still have leftovers to get through. I'm sorry about your stomachache and poor sleep. Good job with the swim. That sounds like a yummy dinner!

    Hi all. It was rough getting back to work after 5 days off. I was asked by pug rescue here in SD to donate some art to their fundraising auction, so I am donating 2 prints, 4 original paintings, 3 bookmarks, 6 pairs of earrings, and 1 necklace. I hope it brings them in a lot of money. I tracked everything yesterday and am pretracked for today. I also drank more water than I have been lately.

    Water intake yesterday: 48 oz

    @trooworld I know what you mean about getting back to healthy eating. We only have a few weeks before Christmas. Good job on tracking. That is great that you have a talent that can help the pug rescue. Hi, all. It’s cold and rainy today so I’ll work out on my bike. There’s a Stranger Things workout that I want to do. Tonight my son is making Chana Masala. We have leftovers from last night for my husband as he doesn’t like Indian food, especially food with ginger.

    @fabgeekmom That's a good point . Thank you. The auction organizer was thrilled with all of my donations, I gave them to her yesterday. Too bad about the weather, I'm glad you have the option to work out on your bike. That's good you have leftovers for your hubby. I love Indian food. I would love to go to India someday.

    @cutiepie63 Oh no , sorry that happened. Was it by a lot or just a little? I hope you aren't beating yourself up about it. This time of year is really hard!

    Hi all. I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now...emotionally a mess. I'm not in the mood to be at work and just generally depressed. I think it is the holidays, it's bringing up bad memories from childhood. I did pretrack for today as best as I could: we are having a holiday party at work, one of three. I know it's going to be Mediterranean food, and I'm likely going to have a baked falafel bowl. I just need to hang on until the weekend comes and then I can be more gentle with myself.

    @cutiepie63 I agree with @trooworld that it’s hard to stay on a plan during the holidays. Get back on track and do the best you can. @trooworld I’m sorry this time of year brings up bad memories of childhood. Good job on tracking. I love baked falafel. Hi, all. The cold weather is set in as we are heading into winter. At least it’s not as cold as some places. Today is a swim day. We have leftovers from last night for dinner. I had some pasta in the freezer from a previous meal that I will warm up for my husband.

    @fabgeekmom Thank you . I do love baked falafel, too. I hope the swim warmed you up, good job. Good that you have leftovers.

    Hi all. Yesterday went ok. I had one falafel patty with some salad. I did have a cookie, but other than that, everything went as planned. We decided to order an artificial tree this year: usually, we get a real tree, but they've become so expensive, even the small ones, this artificial tree will last a long time. It won't be here until next Tuesday, which is a bummer...I need Christmas cheer now!

    @trooworld Good job on sticking to the plan at work meal. We have had an artificial tree for many years. When the children were younger we had a real tree. It was nice but expensive even then and also messy. Plus we had to water it so in general, a lot of trouble. Do you have any other Christmas decorations to give you cheer until the tree arrives? Hi, all. Today’s plan includes getting a COVID vaccine and then getting a few things for dinner tonight. I’m making a Skinnytaste recipe for chili. It will be hearty as it is so cold. I’ll ride my bike later today.

    @fabgeekmom Thank you ! Yes, real trees are really messy, too, and the water (good point). I do have other Christmas decorations, we will get them out tomorrow night (hopefully). I was hoping my husband would get them out today so I could put some up while working from home, but he hasn't and probably won't before he leaves for work. I hope all went well yesterday. Chili is perfect for a cold night.

    Hi all. Well, I got good news that the Christmas tree will be delivered today instead of Tuesday, so that's good. Today, I have to get bloodwork done for my 12-month post-surgery doctor's appointment. My 1-yr mark is 12/20. I can't have any coffee until I get back. I also have to go to the orthopedic doctor for another cortisone shot for my knee. It's about time for that. I need to get back to being focused: I gained 2.2 lbs this week. I think it was the Thanksgiving leftovers.

    @trooworld That is good that the tree will be delivered today. Too bad about the weight gain but you have the right attitude to get focused again. Just think what you have accomplished in a year. Hi, all. It’s cold, dreary and rainy today. I think we have had some sleet but it was gone when I got up. DH and I went swimming today and then went out to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. We got a small pizza and each had 1 1/2 slices. I had already eaten a slice of Italian bread with butter so I was not that hungry. So now we have pizza for later. I probably won’t eat any more but DH can enjoy it later. I don’t have to cook tonight as my daughter and her family are eating out and my son is going to Montreal. I’ll eat a sandwich for dinner.

    @fabgeekmom Yes , it was nice. I like the tree, too. Indeed, I have lost 82 lbs! Wow, that sounds like nasty weather. Good job with the swim. That's good you had small portions at the restaurant. Yay for no cooking!

    Hi all. I got my Christmas tree and put it up. I just need to add the tree topper, but I am waiting on Amazon to deliver part of the tree topper (I am making the tree topper). They are late with the component I need. They have been annoyingly late all year with things (it's not just because of Christmas): every other thing I order is late. Today, they really screwed me: I ordered a buttery-soft blue leather blazer to wear to my art opening and it was supposed to be here yesterday. It never showed up and now it says it should be delivered today. Well, I am leaving the house for the day at 9:30, so if it isn't here by then, it's a problem. I am getting my hair cut this morning and then heading up to a jewelry pop-up show in north county, and then meeting some friends for coffee, and then going to my art opening. It should be busy! BTW, one of my paintings in the show got an honorable mention from the judges!
