Tuesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I am sitting here tryong to choke down an egg...yuck.  I tried for the first time to cook an egg in the microwave at work and it tastes different.  I don't like it.  So that experiment ended badly.  Oh well.

Last night I got a migraine.  I took my new migraine medicine for the first time and I can't even tell you if it worked because I fell asleep before the migraine went away.  I think it was working.  It felt like the migraine was less intense.  Oh well, at least I feel better now. 

I am wearing some of my new Summer clothes today, since temps will be in the mid- 80's.  I'm sure I will be cold today because they always have it too cold in here.  Yesterday I was comfortable and everyone else was complaining how hot it was.  It turns out there was some problem with the cooling unit.  Usually when everyone else is hot I am comfortable and when everyone is comfortable I am freezing!!!   

Well I hope this day goes by fast.  Hope you all have a nice day and try to get outside (if it's not raining).  Bye.

Morning all!

Crystal, I will not cook an egg in the micro - first off it stinks the place up and secondly it makes it real tough. No matter if I cook it slowly, medium-fast or fast. An egg on the stove is the best for me. I will reheat my homemade egg sandwiches here at work but real slowly and for less than a minute and down in the PD lounge where it does not smell up the building. Micros are fantastic tools but not for all foods. Great also about the new med and how it worked.

No boss today - YEAH! And he does not come in until 9AM tomorrow - YEAH again.

Hair apt. for me after work and then I need to buy my tomatoes and a few other items from Home Depot. I decided to make one of my planter boxes double height so I need to buy that, more dirt and a block of peat moss. The nice thing about the planting box system is that you can stack them and make them in different shapes.

Gotta go &

Yes it was tough and it filled me up too fast.  it was too dry. 

If you need to make it in the micro for convenience then I suggest a little bit of shredded cheese and some milk to help make it fluffy and creamy.

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I never liked eggs in the microwave either, then I experimented.  For scrambled, it never does come out perfect, but if cooked very slowly and stirred often, with cheese and taco sauce on top, it is edible.

Here is one way in the microwave that has always been good for me....not rubbery at all.  I never put the beans in, (since I forgot) but why not?

Crack an egg into a little ceramic dish and prink the yolk. Add a spoonful of salsa from a jar and a spoonful of refried beans from a can and some shredded packaged jack cheese and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on 50% until softly cooked... about 60 seconds. Let sit for 30 seconds before removing wrap.

I am working today, then home to put my plants in if it is not raining.

I got on the scale this morning and let's just say it was NOT pretty.  I need to get on the ball NOW!!!!!  I need to take control!  I am tired of waiting for my electric bike to be fixed, so I am bringing up the manual.  It is better than nothing and it helped me lose a bunch in the begininng.  That and more walking should get things going.  I am thinking of trying to go back to the work-out room at the school, but they open at 6 and I am not sure if I can work out, shower and get to work on time.  The only way to know is to try it.  This is UNACCEPTABLE!  I wish I had a gym here at work like Crystal.....that would be SO convenient.

I CAN'T believe that it is supposed to be so warm out today, but it does not matter, it is always cold in this building.

Everyone have a lovely day!

One thought-  Try looking for a bike or a treadmill to buy used.  Look on Craigs List.  I bought mine used for $100.  It's in perfect running condition.  Just remember you need to be consistent.  Try not to let everyday life stop you from getting at least 30 minutes in.  If you start now by the end of the month I'm sure you would have some good weight loss.  Good luck.

I walked (mostly fast, probably 4 mi/hr) for over 30 minutes at lunch.  Another 10 was slower, warm up and cool down.  Yeah me!!!!

Good Afternoon to All,

No rain yet, maybe I can get home this afternoon and get outside for a bit. That is my plan. I brought and easy lunch today, so I was able to sit out in my car with the windows down, and nibble on cheese, apple slices and refried beans warmed up. I love my bento box.

I didn't have any plans for after work yesterday, no real ones for today either.
2 more work days for this week, then a 3 day weekend. I only have 10 more work days until I am off for the summer :)

Have a great day, get out and enjoy it.

Hugs,

Lisa

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

Can we say HOT?  I just looked at the temperature and it is 88 degrees outside.  I broke down and turned on the air about an hour ago.  Could not stand it any longer.  

Crystal, I cook scrambled eggs in the microwave all the time without a problem.  One thing to remember is DO NOT salt them before cooking.  Only add your seasonings after cooking.  Salt will make them rubbery.  They also do best in mug or a bowl with high sides.  Scramble the egg with water or milk, cook slowly and aim for undercooking. Also, stirr often during cooking.  

Today has been a lazy day for me.  No doctor appointments or anything.  I have been ready for a quiet day.  The cats have loved having me home and will be throwing huge fits when I go back to work.  They are getting more spoiled if that is even possible.  

Tomorrow I have the 1 month surgeon appointment.  I am anxious to see how they think I am doing.  I am not ready to go back to work yet but wonder when he thinks I will be.  

Lisa, I am totally jealous of the idea of having the summer off!  Enjoy!

Have a great day!
