Well, this week is my eldest sailor sons time to check out options for his next and last duty station. Fingers crossed it will be one that will leave his 20 years in the Navy on a high note. Texted with him this past weekend, and he said he is tired of all the drama. My opinion he is just tired in general, but using his…

So the recipe for buttermilk dressing is buttermilk, mayo, and spices. Pretty simple. I will just shake it all in a mason jar and call it good. It only has 1 tsp of salt in the recipe and that will help my numbers. Of course there's fat in there but I only use a bit at a time. How long does buttermilk keep? I might have to…

Beth, Oooh such a great remodel! Looks amazing! Very classy! Rebecca, Whidbey Wa

I KNOW, right? I need to make me a yummy buttermilk dressing. Need to look up ingredients and just omit sodium. Kraft is ok except for that sodium! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Today is chicken for lunch, and salmon for dinner. A couple of protein drinks in there, raw veggies and my favorite tea in the afternoon. I was going to make a meal of cabbage/onion/potato/kielbasa sausage in a homemade chicken broth, but all the working of the numbers made me crazy. So I decided to figure it out another…

I am kind of lazy in the making protein smoothies department.🙃😁. The convenience of just opening a container works for me. Most are either chai teas, or chocolate ones. I like the low sugar part. Your relationship with your father is really sweet and its admirable. Have a nice time at Church.💖. I hope someone returns your…

Pip, the paw prints are beautiful. A lovely tribute to Floyd, Bullwinkle, Rocky, and Yogi. 💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

It fit in with my day fine. I'm learning to be adaptable! 4 out 6 listings good, and my fats and carbs weren't that much over. The fact that my protein is 124 grams, well A+ right there! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Well having another wrap for dinner didn't sound good so I made a sort of pasta/shrimp thing. It was surprisingly good. Granted not creamy, and the pasta wasn't as past-y as it is made with chickpeas, but I was satisfied! Full up to my brim. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Good progress on your spaces! Our home has no blinds anywhere! Open windows to get as much light into this rather dark home. Yes, though I do have a protein drink in the morning its not every morning. Its just hard to eat a meal that time of day. I have decided to continue to do the work, log daily, get my protein in foods…

I seem to be stalled in my weight somewhat. The scale has been dancing around the same number awhile. Thinking I need to tell doctor to move me up to 5.0 dose on Monday when I see him. Noticed in "mychart" site that he's ordered more of the 2.5 so hopefully I can get this changed. We'll see. Todays food. It seems to be a…

Today was a high protein day, chicken nuggets, steak, and two protein drinks. The rest was just raw veggies, 50/50 salad mix and of course my yummy tea. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Today's haul. Mostly protein, some veggies. No fruit, but to be honest its just not my go to these days. I still have turkey slices and a smoked, teriyaki salmon piece in the fridge, and shrimp, kielbasa sausage, chicken, in the freezer so I am set for whatever thing I plan. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Pip Its raining today on Whidbey Island, tears from heaven for our Yogi. Just hugs to you and Kirby. Thank you for sharing Yogi with us.🙏💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

My dinner with my neighbor friend was fun, going to a local family style restaurant here in Oak Harbor. I was a bit worried about going to the Asian Buffet with all the pans of fried foods, and pans of food in heavy sauces. So at the family restaurant I ordered a skewered shrimp meal with baked potato. I took half of the…

Pip, I am crying with you! Our dear sweet Yogi!🙏😥

I have no clue how or when I lost my sense of smell. It kind of happened over time, and I just kind of compensated with my taste buds. If I taste something I get the sense of the aroma. I do recall in the 1990's going Renaissance camping and the scent of sandalwood when we used the incense in the tent. Or the scent of the…

I have a site on FB called Garage of Blessings and people post things they need or things they're giving away for free. I just piled it all on the table and some cane by at 10 am. Grandson for the summer, anything helps she said. Nice lady. We hugged because we chatted for awhile. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Today's diary It was a good day. Also got to chat with my middle sister a long while. I has asked her if she was keeping cool this weekend and it probably triggered her remembering I had a birthday. She apologized. Tomorrow I am having lunch with a girlfriend. Unsettling not knowing where we're going, hard to plan, peruse…

So sweet and precious!💖👍🏼 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

There are times like when I know food must have a scent as its cooking, or a nice candle that would smell nice, or if I got a hold of some "Opium" perfume from Yves Saint Laurent, my mommas favorite scent, then I get bummed. But there's lots of unpleasant scents in this world I don't have to bother with. Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Today had my steak bits with husbands leftover bourbon mushrooms and onions, plus the parmesan topping with the shrimp. It was delightful! Now sipping my daily 17 oz carafe of tea. Today was a success and my body processed yesterdays food just fine! I know tmi! Its nice when my body responds well. Definitely eating to…

It's stunning, the painting on the curvy parts, just sweet. Its bright and summery! Great job! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

I have drank, no I have drunk, weird, I have drunken, aaack......well anyways I TOOK IN 33 oz of water using my Fuji water container this morning. Its a pretty shape to me and the plastic bottle is sturdy. I like that, instead of a huge container that is heavier. I get my liquid in that way. I knew I needed to drink a lot…

Today will be: B: coffee, prunes L: protein shake, leftover Applebee's Caesar salad D: 4 oz steak with some shrimp and tomato slices Snack: my medicine ball tea, a protein bar Its over 1,000 calories to appease the My fitness pal gods, plus I got 80+ grams of protein. Low on sugars, and will get 98 oz of water. Rebecca…

Awe, no worries! It was a nice relaxing low key day. Got to chat with kids, and have a nice meal. Having leftovers today! Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Thanks ladies for the birthday wishes💖👍🏼 I had a nice day, with chatting with youngest mid day, then going out for dinner and then video chatting with middle son at about 6 pm. Got bits and bobs from Athena and Eli but they both turn shy on video chat! I'm like its meeee!😂😁🙃. No cake or nothing. I had a chocolate protein…

Thanks! I was able to chat with kids, talk with grandkids, and have a nice dinner out. Pretty much everything I hoped it would be.💖😁👍🏼 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Thanks, it was a nice low key day.💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa

Interesting! I just figured it was a side effect from the zepbound med. I also had cut up a slice of Spam for lunch and sauted it in some Asian dressing. I mixed it with some salad greens, tomatoes and low fat cottage cheese. It tasted yummy like the Spam bits were bacon like, but I am afraid it was too greasy of a meal…
