@LoveyChar that’s good about the blood work! Hope the mammogram results are great too. And awesome on the long run! @quilteryoyo — sounds like a fun visit! Tippy! Cute name! I had my second shingles shot yesterday and started feeling awful today. Almost like a virus with headache, achy and so tired. Took ibuprofen a couple…

@quilteryoyo- probably am stressed with trying to get everything ready to be out the week after next. I ate way too much Saturday. Today was better. I’m off this week, but busy with dentist, doctor, etc. The week after next is the convention where my kids show their project This year it is a “test anxiety management” app.…

I'm still having this thing where when I get home I just want to snack! Got home and ate 3-4 pieces of Dove chocolate. That's obviously not snacking - that's just junk! @shanaber - good luck this weekend. Yeah, that would make me annoyed too about the mail and Thanksgiving! @elise4270 - hope the pain goes away!
-
@LoveyChar - I'm sure the doctor will do a full blood check and you will see it's good to know these things! Let us know! Yesterday was a total repeat of Monday. DH and I certainly get in a rut on dinners (and I like the same things for breakfast and lunch all the time during the school year!) I was really hungry for some…

@elise4270 - LOL - okay. Dog food!!! What?!?!? I did try a dog biscuit when I was a kid. It wasn't good. It looks like a cookie. I was about 5 but remember it clearly. I just started taking B12 about a month ago. DD has been veg for about 6 years and discovered she was low in B12 and D. I had my D tested in May and it was…
-
@elise4270 - LOL yuck!!! Hope he gets better soon and isn't a big baby the whole time. :wink: Made the black beans last night but having them tonight. Didn't try them while cooking. We ended up having the veggie burgers, baked potatoes, broccoli, corn on cob ... I think that's it. Weather is so nice here this week. Around…
-
@rheddmobile - lol that is hilarious! Last night we met some friends from out of town in the tourist district and they suggested AppleBees. I haven't been to one in years, didn't like it back then particularly. But whatever, I can find vegetarian wherever. Well, not there! They said I can order anything and just leave off…
-
@quilteryoyo - hope you are okay. That doesn't sound good to be that tired. I've had that feeling of extreme sleepiness driving to work where I think "this is not safe - I need to pull over and close my eyes". Coming home, I'm more awake! @LoveyChar - hope you get good news on the second mammo. I've had several scares,…
-
@quilteryoyo - thanks! I'm still in shock that athletes are prone to AFib. You definitely don't want to fool around with high blood pressure or the aneurysm! He's been using a CPAP for so many years when I'm away I have trouble not hearing the sound of the blowing air next to me. I had Frosted Mini Wheats for dinner. I had…
-
@elise4270 - thanks for sharing that. I hadn't looked it up yet. And I just told my friend I am going to do the running streak! But I will do a very slow mile on the rest days. You know I am terrible about rest days so you have inspired me- thank you!
-
@elise4270 - glad you had a pain-free sleepless night! For Thanksgiving I am pretty sure we are going to my son's house. He has been cooking that along with Christmas dinners for several years now. Even last year when their baby was just a couple weeks old! I offered to cook it but they seem to want to do it. I will bring…

Breakfast -- I don't recommend this: Kodiak Cakes Oatmeal Unleashed (PB & Chocolate chip). It sounded good but I'm not enjoying it too much. Getting ready to lift, and wanted something with protein - but something different. Bought this a few weeks ago and saw it in pantry and thought "oh yeah, yum!" No. Maybe it's just my…

Wow busy in here! Had fun at granddaughter’s little birthday party. Just grandparents and one great-grandma or Omi as we call her, she’s German. Are a HUGE piece of cake and ice cream. It was sort of a brunch menu. Son made frittatas and Creme brûlée French Toast. All delicious. Not worried about over eating at all since I…

@elise4270 - Since I work in a school and do the database set up, I'm always years in advance. So I set up the 2019-20 around this time last year and it did feel weird to say 2020. And we have class of 2020, 20211, 22 and 23 here. What hit me a few years ago was all the kids coming in born after 2000. And a couple months…
-
@Elise4270 lol bring your own device! Wow took a pic of your cc? Where was this person? In line by you? @quilteryoyo sorry about the cold but great on the lbs! I find the Coldeeze works best as soon as I feel the cold coming on. I went to play at school and when I got home I had chocolate milk and cookies. Not too many but…

Dinner: Dr Praegers California veggie burger. Corn on the cob. Baked potato. The only processed was the bun! Actually had this same dinner two nights ago. @shanaber - yes we are a 1-1 school. Kids use iPads in classes. BYOD. and my classroom has beautiful Macs in it.
-
I'm all MAC too. I never thought I'd make the jump either! But I had to get a Mac when I was writing an App and the computer lab where I teach became Macs. Now I love it. My weight is slowly climbing. No idea why ... I lost when DH was in hospital and now all that came back plus some. I've really been looking at all foods…
-
@LoveyChar - I know you don't want to hear it, but get tested! My daughter has been a vegetarian for about 5 years and she is also a runner. She had been feeling weak and got tested and her B12 was low. She had an incident with low potassium when she was in high school and because of that is careful with eating bananas.…

Meant to say we hope he gets released tomorrow.
-
Thanks everyone! He is feeling much better as of a couple hours ago. I don’t think we will know if it was the Red Bull or too much partying (we seem to be reliving our youth in a not so smart way!). But his heart rate is staying below 100 and although still jumping it is at least a smaller range. @shanaber no they didn’t…

DH is in hospital with AFib. He's never had it before. It is really weird and we are waiting for cardiologist to come in to tell us something. His HR was going between about 130-175. But he never felt it. He just felt weak and so went to his doctor. They did an EKG and said to go to ER. In ER for many hours and they…
-
@elise4270 - yum, those look good! I will try them! But I fear I could eat the whole batch! Had a good 2 days of eating spot on, other than a few small peppermint patties. Bought a ton of Halloween candy and it didn't call my name last night! We shall see if it will be quiet tonight!
-
@quilteryoyo - I think we all are too hard on ourselves! That's so cool that you got take your parents on a trip to look at the beautiful leaves! @elise4270 - LOL - I remember when you said that about "who is that fat lady in the picture?" I guess we all are shocked to see our pics sometimes. And why are iPhone pictures so…
-
@rheddmobile - glad you are were able to work out places to eat that give you better choices. That is so sad about your stepmother in law. I agree about not understanding how I use to be so sedentary! Now I panic if I haven't exercised in some form. I did the usual Sat bike ride -45 miles. Usually I burn over 1000 calories…
-
@elise4270 - What am I eating? Well, breakfast is always one of 3: 2 days - Oatmeal - RX AM brand 3 days - Fage yogurt with blueberries and some local honey 1-2 days - Killer Dave's bread (2 slices) with either PB or hard boiled eggs Sunday - if I ride the bread breakfast, if I don't - something different! Lunch - almost…
-
@elise4270 - it is on my desk! Good idea - I move it somewhere else!!! I have a HUGE hand sanitizer on my desk that I use a many times a day!
-
You sure it's not the in-laws causing the skin to freak out? :wink: Dinner out last night was fun and calories are completely unknown. There was a quinoa/veggies mix that was really good. I forgot that this restaurant puts bread on the table and within the bread basket are these AMAZING pretzel sticks -- think a delicious…

I don't know if any of you ever read the blog from The Movie Chair lady. I always enjoy it. The one I saw today mentions this quote she can't get out of her mind: If you aren't hungry enough to eat an apple, you aren't hungry. Wow, that is pretty powerful IMO! It's so true, isn't it?! I love apples but I just tend to…
-
@shanaber - 15 pounds! Wow, that seems like a lot for tiny you! Bummer on the doctor leaving. Bananas here ripen way too fast - Once they are past the point that I can stomach eating them, I peel and freeze them and use in my shakes. I never have put bananas in fridge. I have a big bunch of them so I may put half in and…

I am back home from Portland. @shanaber - you were right - it is a foodie town! I was able to run every morning through the city and once on a trail. The temps were just amazing! It was always between 45-49 in the morning and would get up to around 59-61 each day. It did not rain once! My daughter lives in a great area and…
