Good Friday-Eve Gang!! Not much going on today just day 5 of the outage and so far everything is going according to plan. Irvin has a follow up appointment today with his PCP to check on things. I have a quick teams meeting for a new course in Win Academy and that should be about it.
We didn't go to the Y last night either as something came up late at work and I didn't leave until 5pm. We are going tonight though. It's supposed to get to 65-70 today, but right now it's rather rainy out so we will see if it does indeed get sunny and warm.
B: coffee with MCT oil
L: last slice of chicken pot pie
D: might have another coffee
I'm going to do an hour at the Y with Irvin being my trainer. His lower back is still bothering him a bit and I don't want him to pu****
Have a great day everyone!!

Mornin y'all.
we have to take the car in for an estimate at 10:30 this morning. If we get to keep the car until they can fix it we need to do a few things like groceries and a Sam's run for our oldest pups special treats.
I kind of got a little stressed late yesterday. Things feel so heavy. I need to go to the doctor but I can't. I have an appointment Friday I am hoping I'll be able to make. I think I'm going down to just one Tylenol 4 a day and then will stop. I just don't feel it does enough to warrant the risk. I'll keep on the lyrica for now. Still haven't heard about the CIMZIA.... All I have is time...right?
B: small ciabatta, egg, cheese and a very small piece of grilled chicken
L: Hawaiian grilled chicken thighs and maybe a small bag of popcorn
D: unknown at this time. Might get some tempura shrimp at Sam's.
the weather is **** here. Friday it's supposed to be 55° for a high.
Mel that sucks, but at least no one was hurt and the car can be fixed.
Happy Hump Day!!! We didn't go to the Y last night as Irvin's back was a bit sore. If he still isn't feeling up to it tonight, he said he will be my "trainer" and go to coach me. When you get in the groove of things it's tuff to not want to go. I did get a few extra stuff done last night. I rebred the Red New Zealand does since I don't think they took a couple of weeks ago as they weren't very receptive of the bucks. Last night though they were all for it. So, we should have 5 does successfully bred and within the next month we should have a bunch of little bunnies.
I have to run to Walmart for some stuff for the mid outage lunch today and I want to pick up some pre-workout energy drink that I found online, and Walmart sells it.
Started using the Renpho health app that connects to the composition scale we got back in January. Stuff like that really makes you focus on getting fit and healthy. Even if it's a 1/2lb loss you can see each day the progress you are making. It was definitely a great investment and for those of you who lurk or are just starting the WLS journey I would highly recommend investing in one of them.
B: coffee with MCT oil
L: slice of homemade chicken pot pie
D: none
We will be going to the Y even if it's just me doing the workouts.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Good Tuesday night.
what a freakin day today was. We had an accident this morning. We are fine physically. But it's rather taxing on us mentally. We feel like we're drowning. It was my moms fault so we did get a ticket.
imwas supposed to go to the doctor today but had to cancel. We're getting the car inspected tomorrow morning. It still runs at least and we were not hurt nor was the other driver.
food was off today. Kind of stress ate.
pic of car and Tange this evening.
Good Tuesday Morning Gang!! Irvin's doctor called him to check in to see how he was doing and she is scheduling more blood work along with a follow up appointment. We did go to the Y and he paced himself. I also got some body armor drinks that is high in potassium for him to drink while working-out.
Day one of the outage went well and I got the sandwiches ordered for tomorrow safety lunch. When I get home we are going to go to the Y for a bit and then I will be planting some more veggie seeds. The ones I started last month are coming in well.
B: coffee with MCT oil
L: egg salad wrap
D: no dinner I'm on a roll with not wanting to eat at night
Will be doing a fat burner on the recumbent bike tonight along with the weight machines. I did 5.25 miles on the bike last night.
Have a great day everyone!!
I've used a few tracking apps after surgery, and they really help with staying on track with food, water, and vitamins. Apps like Baritastic or MyFitnessPal are quite popular for logging meals and progress. Personally, simple tracking + reminders made the biggest difference for me. Even in other communities I've seen people share different tools like delta blox fruit but consistency matters more than the app itself.
Thanks Mel he is and his doctor called him yesterday to check in with him. She is scheduling some more blood work in a couple of weeks and a follow up. She a good doctor. We did go to the Y last night, but he paced himself and I picked up some body armor drinks for him to have while working out. He actually slept really well last night which isn't something that happens very often for him.

Good afternoon y'all.
I hope Irvin is feeling ok after all that.
not a great deal of things going on today. I've developed thrush...so yay. Tried to get seen today but no dice, I'll try again tomorrow. I'm pretty miserable. I'm just so tired of myself. My health, or lack there of, and everything else.
