Nanc, sorry we were posting at the same time. The sushi bowl sounds much easier! I only make actual sushi for parties because it makes it worth all the effort. Our CPA does my taxes and I've never tried an online service. He just throws mine in for free since we give him so much work and he's a wonderful guy!

Bisky, definitely sounds like it might be worth it to stay in San Antonio. And since you travel often it's not like you're stuck there all the time. Maybe you could go somewhere cooler for the hottest months. Carla, the baskets are beautiful. You sure do have a lot of talent. Hope you enjoy your visit with your parents.…

Pretty cards, Bisky! That's very cool you are going to be selling them. Another trip to Italy sounds like so much fun. That's one of the few places I'd like to visit. I'm not much of a traveler. I would give anything for a week at home! LOL Nanc, do you have a sushi mat? I make vegan sushi and the mat is a must have for…

Nanc, I totally get that. I always have big plans in the morning for what I'll get done when I get home. Then I get home and just want to go to bed! It will be better come spring... it's nearly dark when I get home. Good for you taking steps to keep your health on track! I had a rough day. It has been a rough few weeks…

We have recycling pickup weekly here, Carla, and that's my bin every week. Amazon boxes broken down for recycling. LOL I'm going on a 90 day amazon diet on March 1st though. Nothing but my vitamins that are on auto-delivery. I have spent a lot of money lately finishing all the house projects. I'm nearly done... just a few…

Glad you got that over with and could enjoy your coffee, Nanc. That's quite a long wait for results. That's interesting measuring inflammation. You've mentioned having problems with that. I left work early yesterday to meet a junk hauler. I had an old fridge and the city won't take those so I lined up a private hauler and…

Mornin' Nanc... sounds like you got a whole lot done yesterday! Birthday is a week from today. Going to get a little work done this morning, go for the hair/mani appointment, stop at Fresh Thyme, home to start laundry and get more work done. Plan for today (including watching portions and staying away from snacky stuff) B…

You sound all full of energy Nanc! Glad you are feeling better. I worked for a few hours, took a nap, went to the grab and go for some goodies for the week. Should last me through Wednesday then I'll stop back in. There are always, always, new dishes to try! Keeps it interesting, but I am not losing any weight and need to…

HI all... been another crazy week at work, but it's over. We are getting some snow and I brought work home so I don't have to go in tomorrow. Glad I did, because it is slick as hell out there and dicey getting home. It will be better tomorrow when the snow stops and the crews have been out. Not supposed to get more than a…

Sorry to hear that Nanc. I imagine your immune system is pretty worn down battling that long flu-bug, and the cold saw an opportunity. I haven't got near as much done while the boss was away as I hoped. I'm going to bed early tonight because it will be crazy tomorrow with him getting back and the calendar stacked.

Hi all, busy stressful day, but home now. My stomach is a bit off today and not sure if I want to eat dinner. Might just have a Dr. McD soup. Nice and light. Early bedtime. You're doing great, Nanc! I think our bodies go through adjustment periods after a loss (or even a gain) where it kind of wants to stay put for a bit.…
-
Man, I got a lot done today! At 7000 steps just from working around the house and garage. Marilyn, notice your absence. Hope you are doing okay. I am having a cocktail and then will eat dinner and I think an early bedtime to read for a bit and get to sleep early. I didn't get much work done this weekend staying busy with…
-
Haha... well I guess I'm really paying attention, Nanc! Radar has such a sweet little face!!! I have a bunch to do today and my brother is coming to help with some of it. Still eating good food from the grab and go. Sure has made life more simple having that place. Last night I had a veggie medley with red rice that was…

Hi all, been crazed all week trying to get stuff done so my boss could take off on vacation. Lots to do this weekend around the house and with work that I brought home. Have laundry going and then I'm going to work on my garage. Meeting a friend for lunch today and we're checking out a new warehouse store after. My brother…

It was a busy stressful week! I am going to the office today and tomorrow. Just taking my time over coffee before heading out this morning. Feeling a little stuffy and just ordered an air purifier for my bedroom hoping that will help with the morning stuffiness. I've managed to hit the treadmill a couple mornings this week…
-
Thanks for getting February started, Nanc. I had the day "off" although I did some work throughout the day. Got laundry done and ran some errands, did a little cleaning up including the garage. Need to be in the office all weekend because my boss is leaving for vacation and we need to finish some things before he takes…
-
Mornin' all, quiet here this week! I am doing a mini Mary's mini. I'm still trending down on the scale but the snack monster was stalking me. Usually a week of very simple eating calms that snacky crunchy craving. So it's potatoes and broccoli for breakfast, salad and more potatoes for lunch, and an entree from the grab…
-
Love the cards, Bisky! Spring, I used to have so much stuff in the cupboards that I bought for one recipe and quit doing that too. I am heading to the office today. When I get home I have to do some work around the house in preparation for the contractor coming back on Sunday to finish up.

Oh, Carla! I just got some of the Butler soy curls from Amazon. Kind of ordered on a whim and now I have to do something with them. I had something made with soy curls and can't for the life of me remember where or what it was, but I remember it was good. That's great you are sleeping better even without the supplements,…

Hi all... I am tired and sore, but happy! The big walk-in closet is so clean and organized, and got rid of a ton of clothes that I haven't worn in years. Also went through and cleaned out the drawers in the dresser, vanity, armoire and nightstands. I filled up 4 BIG trash bags. Feels good to have that done. I'm sure I will…
-
Nanc, yay for getting things checked off the to-do list. Glad to hear you like your gym. Spring, did your meal planning/prep work out during your trip? Good for you getting right back to the gym. So easy to fall out of good habits, and so easy to fall into the bad ones. Not quite fair is it? LOL Carla, sorry to hear you…
-
Mornin' all. I had to leave the closet clean-out yesterday and get busy on work because my contractor who did all the work on the house a few years ago is available on Wednesday so I'm going to take that day to meet with him and clear up a few things around the house. Just a bunch of little things that never got finished…
-
Yeesh, gals! What a PITA. I got the dressers completely done and reorganized, but my closet is quite the disaster and I gave up and went to bed after making a decent sized dent. I have a lot more clothes that probably just need to go, but I was having decision fatigue so I will tackle it again today. There's a lot of…
-
Hi all, been a decent day so far. I am not sure whether I'm going to get to any work or just concentrate on the house. Might be better to divide up the days between work and house. I really want to tackle the bedroom closets and dressers so that project will be out of the way. I started by pulling everything out of the…

Hi @flossie28570 welcome to the group! Wow, that's scary and I am so glad that you are doing better and looking at a plant based diet. I would highly recommend you read Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. I do not even have heart issues and it's one of my favorites of the many books put out by the…

First day this week I have been home before 6:00. I just had to get out of there. I made a quick stop at the grab and go place and she had a bunch of new stuff out. I'm all set through probably Tuesday. It's crazy how much she cranks out of that kitchen. I forgot my lunch today so just had a Dr. McD soup (that's why I…
-
Great job, Marilyn! Spring, so sorry to hear about your SIL. That's so nice that you and your husband are able to help his brother though. Didn't get out of the office until almost 7:00 tonight so this was just a quick check-in while dinner was in the microwave. Teriyaki that is SO good. This place uses jackfruit in a lot…
-
Carla, there isn't really a slow time... the worst times are pretty much Thanksgiving through tax time so I guess there's maybe slightly less pressure from May through October. Yikes, so sorry about your neck and heel! Does ibuprofen or anything help? I did talk to the owner of the grab and go place about the few dishes…
-
Nanc, hope you are continuing to get better! So exciting about your trip. Carla, so glad you found that workout that you love. I can't say I ever love it, but it's mostly because I'm stressed and busy and anything that feels like a "have to" outside of work makes me resentful. But, I also know if I do a workout, I feel…

Hi all, seems like I'm too bogged down this month to post regularly but I do manage to read posts on my phone while I eat lunch. I made it to the grab and go bar last night and got a few entrees to get me through the weekend.
