This has been a rough week at work. Going to be in the office all weekend again. Have had people off and crazy stuff as usual. Managed to get up early enough to hit the treadmill this morning though. Missed yesterday just didn't want to get up. Mostly eating oatmeal, fruit, big piles of lettuce in ezekiel tortillas with…

Great job on the bike, Nanc. Your fresh bowl sounds really tasty. I have been struggling with stress and working long hours so I haven't prepped my greens and beans stew that I planned to make this weekend. Tonight, I really need to do something with all these fresh greens that I bought. Had to toss the carrots because of…

Just got home from the office. I was so tired last night I went to bed before 8:00 so I was up super early and got a good 7 hours in today. Having a day in the office to myself on the weekend, seems like I get more done than a whole week when I'm constantly interrupted and distracted from what I'm trying to do. I brought…

Glad things are going better at work, Nanc. How'd your sauna go? I did 4 out of 5 days hitting the treadmill first thing so I'm happy about that. I stopped at the store tonight and stocked up on stuff to make my GBOM soup/stew. I get my greens, beans, onions and mushrooms that way, and the berries and seeds/nuts are taken…

Good planning for the week, Nanc. Hard to believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I was in the store the day after Halloween and they were playing Christmas music. Ugh... Missed yesterday but got up and did 3/4 mile on the treadmill this morning. I need to get to bed by 9:00 consistently. I've been staying up…

Bummer about the sauna, Nanc. I overslept. Got home and continued working until almost 11:00 last night. So no treadmill.

Mornin' all, was a busy weekend of working but feel like I'm settling back into routine. Treadmill 2nd consecutive day and will be a good day of eating WFPBNO as well. Plan for today... B - ezekiel toast with tahini L - oats with the usual goodies (berries, chia/flax, a few walnut halves, sprinkle of grapenuts for…

Mornin' all. Got up reasonably early and decided to work at home today. I need a day of solitude. Just tired of people and chatter. Catching up towels and bedding and the last load should go in the dryer soon then I can head up to my desk. Today's plan... B - ezekiel toast with tahini L - sweet potato and steamed broccoli…

Gathering tonight was postponed to next week. I'm relieved. One of my co-workers has been off a lot of days over the past month and I need to really concentrate on getting caught up a bit at the office this weekend. The smoothie bowl looks good. I'll have to keep that in mind for a treat sometime. I slept way in this…

I have never hired an organizer but a quick google says $75 to $200+ is common so $80 is probably reasonable for your area. What do you put in your smoothie bowls, Nanc? I have been completely off the rails for days now. Eating junky snacky stuff and indulging in wine. I am going out with friends tomorrow and then Saturday…

Mornin' all, Bisky the mushroom extract doesn't have much taste. It's alcohol extracted so a tad bit bitter straight. I add it to tea so I think the heat gets rid of that. The doggie backpack is adorable. Congrats on your big drop on the scale! Nanc, sounds like maybe the guy who quit wasn't happy and was taking it out on…

Howdy all... heading to the office again today. I think one of the other gals is coming in as well so hopefully we can get a little bit caught up. I am really having trouble with managing stress right now and going to work on my routine to carve out time for relaxing activities and exercise. I'm sticking with the morning…

Mornin' All. Thanks for getting November started, Nanc. I am heading to the office shortly. Just finished a huge bowl of steel cut oats with fruit and a couple walnut halves, cinnamon, almond milk yogurt. Should keep me energized well past lunchtime. I need to reduce fat to work on lowering cholesterol so I'm giving up the…

Hi all, been super busy and trying to catch up. Glad to hear Lulu is okay. More this weekend. Going to still be extra busy next couple days. I am managing to eat right and treadmill despite the stress and long hours.
-
Busy day of chores and laundry and grocery. My plans got sort of switched around and now I'm home eating lunch, will finish laundry, put fresh sheets on the bed, then work until bedtime. B - muesli with oat milk L - cuban blackeyed peas and a bagel with a smidge of PB D - big ol' salad I have a bunch of frozen mixed…
-
Mornin' all. Sorry to hear things are still tense at work, Nanc. Only thing you can do is not let it get to you and let it go. Got up early and jumped on the treadmill for 1.25 miles at 3 mph. If I do at least 1.25 miles then I am over 3000 steps and have all my zone minutes before breakfast. Easy to get to my goal of 5000…

Y'all are just fine venting here. Better than having confrontations that do no good. I got treadmill done again yesterday but overslept this morning. I will make sure to get on there first thing tomorrow morning before I leave for the office. I plan a LONG weekend of work. Everything is crazy and I see no hope or light at…
-
Glad things are going better at work, Nanc. I am planning to make a big batch of red rice tomorrow to eat through the weekend with veggies, in salad, etc. Great news about your doctor visit. Bisky, I can imagine all that moving getting to you. Ugh! Hope your wrists and thumbs feel better. I'm amazed how much I love sweet…

Busy few days and wasn't feeling well last night. Went to bed early but didn't sleep well so I slept in a bit this morning and won't get to the office until probably 8:30. Going to eat light today just oats, banana, miso tea, etc. Busy days coming up so I may be a bit scarce. Too bad you're going to miss your sister's…

Hi all... had fun last night but went back to bed this morning and probably won't get to the office until 10:00 or so. Oh well. Need to be out by 4:00 to get home and get ready for the fundraiser tonight. Your plan sounds great, Nanc. I like the atoria wraps but they don't always have them so I got a bunch of ezekiel…
-
I think I saved the recipe, Carla. I'll take a look for it this weekend and send to you. Haven't been at my real PC this week since I've been at the office late. So glad it's Friday. This week flew by so busy. I am going to spend all day tomorrow in the office but have some fun plans this weekend. Tonight cocktails with…

Carla, I think maybe it was CFDG. A Thanksgiving theme with roasted butternut squash but I can't remember what else was in it off the top of my head. Awesome comfort food. Yeah, I wasn't doing well with the grab and go foods. I think it was just more calorie dense than I'm used to and the oils weren't good for me. I'm…
-
That's what I was thinking too, Carla... possibly Seattle area which would be cool but I'd be so jealous you and Bisky would get to hang out and I'm stuck here. LOL Yay for getting the attic done. No more mouses! Ohhh... Bisky you just reminded me of a roasted butternut squash recipe that Carla shared a while back that was…

I've been re-reading Dr. Essy's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. I think I'm due to go back to the doc to update my bloodwork next month and see whether I've done anything to lower my cholesterol on my own. If it has not gone down I'll have to start on cholesterol lowering meds. The doc said it may truly just be…
-
Can you narrow it down between the states and Canada, Bisky? I ended up getting out of the office at 5:30 so I brought my salad home to eat but it was nice it was all ready regardless of where I had it. I will definitely eat it at the office today because I have a hair appointment at 6:00 and won't get home until after…

Happy Birthday Nanc! Sleep was a little spotty last night and didn't want to get up this morning so I skipped the treadmill. Will get that done tonight. I've decided to start taking dinner to the office so that I am not eating at 7:00 or later getting home so late. I did a little prepping yesterday so I have roasted…
-
Bisky... further north hmmmm... Greenland? ;) Nanc, Trader Joe's has good stir-fry veggies too. The store brands are always so meh. Good for soups and things but not so much to eat straight up. I just hardly ever get to TJ's because it's in a really busy snarly traffic part of town. I spent about 8 hours in the office…
-
Hey all, had a rough day yesterday with a raging headache. Ended up leaving work around 3:00 and I slept off and on for the next ohhhh... 36 hours. I was planning to work all weekend anyway so I'm fine with it. I needed a day away from that place. Went out with my pals tonight for some wine and will be in the office early…

I ended up with two new pairs of shoes. I tried them both this morning. Did a mile with the hokas then another half mile with the asics, 3 mph. Still a little pain in the foot but not as bad. I decided to wait on the custom insoles, but I'll go back next month and get those. Apparently I over pronate. The whole foot…

Great job on your prepping Nanc. And OMG, puppy pic is adorable! Bisky, I like less clutter now too. I got rid of a ton of knick knacks over the past 10 years and only have things that make me happy and are meaningful to dust now. Love pups on the couch. They look quite comfy. Thanks for the tip on the shoes. I looked them…
