Mornin' all. I slept in this morning and want to be in the office earlier so skipped the treadmill. I'll do that when I get home. Yesterday at the office was too busy and I didn't get to the files I wanted to work on. I want to get an earlier start because the boss won't be there until noon or later and I can get time in…

Hi there @nz6f5gcbm7 and welcome to the group! It's not as intimidating to go WFPB as people think. I was already vegetarian but actually found that I was enjoying my food more when I gave up dairy 12 or 14 years ago, because I started really exploring different things like fruits I'd never tried and a variety of grains…

Nanc, glad to hear things settled down at work for now. I'm having good luck in the frozen foods at Fresh Thyme lately. In addition to finding the forks over knives entrees, I stumbled across Actual Veggies frozen burgers. No oil lots of veggies and beans. Was too tired to make stir-fry when I got home last night so I had…

Didn't get up quite as early but early enough for another 1.5 on the treadmill at 3 mph and did 10 or 15 minutes at 3.5. Got over 7,000 steps total yesterday and exceeded my zone minutes. I never seem to get the distance though. It's a goal for next week and will require a little extra walking or treadmill time in the…

Woke up at 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and hit the treadmill for 1.5 miles at 3 mph. Felt good! Now I can get to the office early because I have a couple files I'm really stressed over and if I could get them done today I'd feel better about my life. Plan for today... B - smoothie same ol' and a couple…

Hey Nanc, we were posting at the same time. Sorry that your coworkers are causing problems again. Hope everything goes well today.

We ended up going somewhere else, Carla, because we found out it was National Taco Day and we figured the taco joint would be a madhouse with BOGO and etc. You really have your work cut out for you getting all these issues addressed at the house. The joys of homeownership. I am hoping nothing major goes wrong here in the…

Mornin' all. Thanks for getting October started, Nanc. I have been having a lot of trouble getting out of bed mornings the past week or so. It's getting cool at night and it's staying dark later, and I just want to stay under the covers. Going to have to work on that because it means no treadmill time in the morning. Don't…

Bisky, yay for getting all moved out. Now for the unpacking and settling back in. Glad to hear puppers like it there. Rough day. having a light dinner and going to bed early. B - smoothie L - baked potato, steamed broccoli and mushrooms, salsa D - lots of lettuce and veggies in an atoria wrap with some of the good foods…

Mornin' all, quiet weekend here. Yesterday was super busy with office, visiting family, quick grocery trip because I discovered I was completely out of frozen berries. Nobody else came in yesterday so I got a fair amount done with nobody bugging me. I brought work home to do today so I can get laundry done and want to do…

Really happy to hear you are sleeping better, Nanc. I love to sleep and have decided that when I retire I am going to be a cat and just wander around the house looking for sunbeams to nap in. I picked up some russets and sweets last night, along with mushrooms, salad lettuce and veggies, greens for smoothies. Going to try…

That's so sad, Magic. I did a lot of fad diets through the years and the highs and lows of seeing results and then gaining the weight back is so depressing and discouraging. I still struggle and gain/lose within 6 or 8 pounds and should lose another 20 pounds, but nothing like when I was 90 pounds overweight. Stopped at…

I've never tried pho, Bisky, and it seems like something I would like so I should. I have had a rough week so far. Not getting out of the office until 7:00 or later the past couple weeks and honestly I could spend 24/7 and it wouldn't be enough. I was just starting to feel like we were making some headway when my co-worker…

Mornin' all, yesterday was a long day full 12 hours in the office. I slept in a bit this morning. I am slowly getting myself away from the snacky and back to lots of sweet potatoes, steamed veggies, salads, nuts, oats with fruit, etc. If I just eat those basics every time I get hungry then I am fine. Maybe I'll try…

Didn't make it to the office yesterday. Got hit with an odd stomach bug and threw up a lot, and then slept for a looong time. Feel fine this morning. Really weird. Have laundry going and need to run to the store for something to take to the reunion today since I didn't get to the store yesterday and don't have time to make…

Ouch, Nanc. Arthritis and surgery is no fun for sure, but like you said no cancer and that's huge! I just stayed in bed this morning for a while. Dozing and having weird dreams. Finally got up around 7 and got my mile in on the treadmill. Should be able to make it to the office by 9:30. Glad it's Saturday because I hate…

Looks beautiful Bisky! Very clean and serene. Speaking of chocolate. A friend brought me a bottle of vin chocolat noir. O.M.G. it is good! I got out of the office so late tonight I couldn't make it for cocktails with friends so I decided to have a glass of wine when I got home. Will have to be careful with this stuff,…

Cute pic, Bisky. That's interesting about the garage floor. Mine is awful and getting worse. I'll have to look into someone to do that... I was thinking about naturestone but that would just cover up the problem. Ewwww... mouse poop, Carla! I hate mice in the house. My prior house was very old (built around 1900) and was…

Hope the sauna helped you sleep better, Nanc. Carla, sorry to hear the breathing is getting worse again. :( I hope doc can get you something that will help more long term. Your dinner sounds yummy and the fitness watch sounds cool. Got up more on time today so I got in the full mile. I'm pretty consistently at 3.3 to 3.5…

Carla, glad dental surgery is over with. Is your breathing still better? Bisky, I'm sure the kitchen will be beautiful. Be careful with all that lifting. I was in the office until almost 7:00 last night and didn't feel like getting up this morning so I only got half a mile in on the treadmill, but at least I didn't totally…

Bisky, sounds like things are moving along well. When I had the interior painted a few years ago I went with all neutral walls and mostly white trim. Really brightened the place up and gave it a feeling of continuity. I think the color was called dove something. Poor Obi! Glad you found the thorn and he's feeling better. I…

Nanc, I've heard people refer to scanxiety and I remember feeling that way when they said there was a suspicious spot after a mammogram and I had to go back for an ultrasound. Turned out to be just a cyst but yeesh... that few weeks between suspicious and all clear it seemed to always be in the back of my mind. Love that…

Party was a big success. I think only around 40 people in and out with last minute cancellations. A good time was had by all. I have a bunch of snacks and beer left, maybe I need to have the core group of friends back over next week to use it up. :) I was glad I started the party earlier in the day so everyone was pretty…

Glad you got some answers and are feeling better with the prednisone, Carla. I have been on that many times. Usually for poison ivy because I am highly allergic to it and I break out all over and my eyes swell shut. But also often for my back until I finally had those steroid injections in my spine 10 or so years ago. I…

Yikes, Carla. Please do let us known what the doc says. That's scary. Had a rough day still battling this cold and felt like crap. Feeling a little better now. I wanted to get some stuff done around here tonight but I think I'd be best off just going to bed and get up early in the morning. I want to get some things done…

Sorry you had a rough time Nanc, but it's over and once you get the results you can forget about it for a while. Yay for making juice. Busy day and I want to get to bed super early so I can put in a long day tomorrow in preparation for taking 3 whole days off. I am going to get a few things done tonight and tomorrow night…

How'd it go today Nanc? I have a miserable cold but I'll take that over covid. I have tested several times since my co-worker got it and have tested negative. It would just figure if I came down with it when the party is planned though. I'm going to test one more time tonight I think. Didn't stay too late at the office was…

Sorry to hear you're out of sorts, Nanc. You have had a lot to cope with lately. How'd your juice turn out? I didn't get out of the office until after 7:00 so the drive home was quick without traffic. It's going to be like that the next 3 days then I'm off Friday through the weekend. Party Saturday. Today... B - sweet…

Got up early and knocked out laundry and some other housework. Hit my desk by 9:30 and worked until 5:30 just took a half hour break for lunch. Got a lot done. I love working at home with nobody bothering me. Then got in 1.25 miles on the treadmill. Met my steps and zone minutes for the day. B - sweet potato and steamed…

Mornin' all... slept in until 6 am which was nice. Got in a little over a mile on the treadmill but started out kind of slow and don't have in all the zone minutes. Plan to be at the office by 9:00 and put in a full day. Hopefully I can just bring some work home for tomorrow. Things I want to get done around here. I need…
