Recap 2/13 R ~ Roads sloppy with snow that ended during the night. Seems to be the current pattern. 1) Restaurant lunch w/ hubby's eldest brother, SIL & niece ~ too hard to guesstimate so I won't / drink more water / leftover soup for supper >:) High calorie day 2) Another rest day unfortunately (unless I feel some twinge…

Busy day away from home. Logging JFT for some accountability but not logging food today, too much to guesstimate. Recap 2/12 W ~ Snowy day. Made the drive home interesting (and longer). 1) Log Dad's homemade noon meal to best guess / sloppy joes for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / 80 oz. water :s not the…

@pridesabtch (((Hugs))) for work. Been there, done that. Glad Merlin's doing well. I'll bet he's loving all the attention and activity time. @HappyDonkey75 (((Hugs))) for work as well. Also been there, done that. On my last job, I had an aSSt. manager that thought she knew what I was doing on a major special project, for…

@itladyee <3 the red dot meme! That's totally our Kitty and doggo! @ZizzyBumble A bit of fizzy drink for a special occasion is totally acceptable IMO. Yes, sunny days are great but I really do hate how then I know how dusty my house is! :smiley: Yes @PackerFanInGB I am sick of the really cold days! Haven't been on a walk…

Recap 2/9 Sunday ~ Sunny and cold with wind chill in single digits (above zero F at least). 1) Church 9:00 :smiley: 2) Chicken noodle soup (new recipe) in slow cooker for supper ~ my kind of recipe: easy to make & yummy / limit snacks & sweets (no Super Bowl party so that's easy) ~ Kodiak muffin, 4 Hershey minis / log all…

@HappyDonkey75 Sometimes, when I eat stuff I crave, it helps me get it out of my system and I can move on and eat healthy again. I know I'm never going to be perfect every day, and that's ok. Also sometimes, it's not as bad as I thought, when I step on the scale. Recap 2/8 Sat. ~ We are living in a beautiful snow globe…

Recap 2/7 F ~ Sun shining but wind chill in low teens. Decided today may be rest day? Winter Weather Advisory starts tonight at 3 a.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow. Up to 9" snow may fall. Wahoo. 1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ crackers, banana, cheese, 4 Hershey minis / log all food / net calories zero ~ red 167 /…

Recap 2/6 R ~ Dusting of snow fell overnight, nothing worth shoveling. Wind is howling but temp not frigid & sun has come out. White snow on ground is beautiful! Still not walking outside with dog though. 1) Make turkey burgers & veg for supper + Fritos / limit snacks & sweets (should be better now that cake is gone) ~…

Recap 2/5 W ~ Wind chill in single digits, but at least above zero LOL. More snow coming this evening & overnight. That's fine with me. Shoveling is good exercise. 1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ hard boiled egg, apple, cake, 3 Hershey kisses... only 1 piece of cake left, and that belongs to hubby / log…

Recap 2/4 T ~ Sun is shining, but very cold out. Wind chill is 1F so no walk with dog. Roads have been plowed but our neighborhood has packed snow/ice from cars before plows came through, so not safe for me to walk. I surely don't need more slip & falls. I do enjoy the look of all the fresh, white snow; very pretty! 1)…

Recap 2/3 M ~ Yay, we have snow on the ground again! Driving this morning wasn't great, but like me, other drivers were slow and cautious. Only slid slightly turning corners a couple of times, before plow came through, no incidents. 1) Leftover spaghetti for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ apple/banana muffin, banana,…

@pridesabtch Puppies are a lot of work. I'm glad you've got an option for training. Hopefully the days fly by and you'll be reunited before you know it. Recap 2/2 Sunday ~ Dusting of snow overnight, already starting to melt slightly. More snow predicted tomorrow, when I drive to my first OT appt. Hopefully people remember…

Very glad that photo is gone. MFP has made it harder to report bad posts IMHO. I had to search more than I thought necessary on how to report. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots. @more_freggies76 I did giggle when you said you give more stress than get. LOL my hubby would agree if I said that, but that's only…

@HappyDonkey75 Sad to hear of all the not-so-positive changes in your area. We stayed at the Rising Sun Motor Inn, which was very basic but had the essentials (like running water & beds) we wanted. Every morning, I sat on a stoop outside our room to eat my instant oatmeal and looked at St. Mary Lake, with the surrounding…

@more_freggies76 Hope your DH is ok. Your skiing descriptions reminded me of the one and only time I went downhill skiing. I am not a natural-born athlete, unlike my sister. She and I went with our eldest brother and his friend. Neither of us had skied before. She did great, however, I never made it off the bunny hill.…

@HappyDonkey75 I've been to MT once 20 years ago. Went with BFF to Glacier Nat'l Park and had a fabulous time! We hiked a ton, did the Going to the Sun Road tour. It was gorgeous! Didn't realize how far north (I'm in northeast WI) we were until we were driving on US-2 and I saw all the road signs with distance to Canada.…

@itladyee I really enjoy seeing your daily Determination posts! I'm going to keep today flexible, bc it's hubby 65th birthday. We have no definite plans other than his favorite dinner I always make for him. Since his first birthday after we started to date, I've made him homemade spaghetti (my family's meat sauce recipe)…

@snowflake68 Love the fancy glasses! Recap 1/26 Sunday ~ Another sunny day, but temp dropped again & wind chill is low teens. Sigh. 1) Choir sang 7:45 & 9 services (run-thru 7:20) :smiley: 2) On way home: find entrance to Sports Medicine & Orthopedics Center (only blocks from church) for Th appt / P.O. to mail bday card to…

Recap 1/25 Sat. ~ Sunny again, wind not as bad and temps around 32F, almost a heat wave LOL 1) Olive Garden lunch entree recently purchased for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ apple, popcorn on stovetop, 3 Hershey minis / log all food / net calories zero ~ red again / 80 oz. water ~ yes :s need to get net cals under…

@Happydonkey76 Welcome back, and thanks for the info. Stuff I really know nothing about. Recap 1/24 F ~ Sunny & wind chill still below zero when I let dog out this a.m. Sure wish the wind would lay. 1) Leftovers ~ switched plans again, made chili / limit snacks & sweets ~ some veggie straws, peanut M&Ms (weighed) & few…

@clicketykeys I know the feeling of *I know what I need to do, it just doesn't happen*. I think so many of us do, and that's our struggle. (((Hugs))) to you! Recap 1/23 R ~ Had light snow fall overnight, not much but at least the ground is white, so much nicer than looking at dormant grass all winter. Temps will be stuck…

Farmers breakfast (at least my Dad's version) is a combo of potatoes, bacon, yellow onion & eggs. Always an easy go-to for camping trips with the entire family, and he did some prep before leaving home. When I make it at home, I do some prep the day before: cook bacon & keep some grease in pan for next day (saves on…

@itladyee (((Hugs))) to you get through your tough patch. @pridesabtch Sorry about another deer-car crash. Thankful you were both unhurt, but car repairs suck. @mytime6630 I love both your blanket and hat, so cute! I never heard of finger knitting before, had to look that up. @PackerFanInGB Hope you are feeling ok!…

Recap 1/20 M ~ day 2 of Extreme Cold Weather Advisory & not going anywhere 1) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero ~ est. -8 but v high sodium / 80 oz. water :smiley: 2) Min. 5000 ~ 6700 :smiley: / PT exercises worn out from cleaning but worked up a sweat :p 3) Launder bedding &…

I learned to knit and crochet as a girl. My maternal grandma taught me to knit, and I still wear some of her handknit sweaters that she wore. Between a neighbor lady and a gf, I learned to crochet. My paternal gma gave me a book many years ago with basic & advanced instructions (with drawings to illustrate) and patterns…

Recap 1/18 Sat. ~ Gorgeous sun out, but temp will only reach low 20s (F) & wind chill is 12. 1) Blanket tie mission project 9 - 12 :smiley: 2) Supper? / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water >:) Horrible day eating & not enough water, so I just stopped logging. Like that will change…

Busy day, just now sitting at computer. @Bex953172 (((HUGS))) Wishing for the best results for you and Marley! Recap 1/13 M ~ Windy day (not as bad as @ZizzyBumble) and sunny out, but temp only 6F at noon and wind chill is -10. Wearing my warmest winter layers when I have to go anywhere. 1) Bake ham & butternut squash…

Recap 1/12 Sunday ~ A little snow fell overnight, turned to light mist this morning, so slippery roads. Fortunately, all major streets have been treated with road salt, only have to really watch it on the side streets like our neighborhood. 1) Church 9:00 :smiley: 2) Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ counted…
