Topic: Monday Roll Call

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. Monica and Scott stopped for a bit yesterday afternoon. I vegged all day.

Today, if the rain stops, I want to try and finish cleaning the deck. Otherwise, just some normal Monday chores.

What is on your agenda?

Hugs,

Lisa

Hi Everyone and Happy Mother's Day!

Everyone who has posted lately sounds like they are very busy.......trying to plant, trying to empty storage units etc.

Yesterday G and I went to the Sox game (im not even a fan). We got the tix free and just had a lovely time. it was cold tho. Came home and then went to bed. I just love my bed. I am on week 4 of this cough and it's 90% better.

G is going to his mom's today. Since Katie is working i am seeing her later in the week. Today i am going to do my Monday chores since I am busy tomorrow.

Hope everyione enjoys their day....hopefully we all will be loved on in some special way.

Hugs,

Sharon

Happy Saturday,

Is everyone busy this weekend? I want to do some weed control today probaly. Maybe start on a new brick  walkway between my back flower beds. We planted 2 rose bushes in the new perennial garden yesterday, and a flat of annuals in containers to bring some color to the new beds before they are established.

Now, if I can only get Hubert to finish the wood plank walkway to the back yard.

I think I lost 4 lbs this week.  Not bad. I won't celebrate until I can start to see it.

Have a great day,

Hugs,

Topic: Friday Roll Call

Hello everyone

Yesterday was a rough day.  Work was fine.  The ice machine wasn't working and the water was at work was room temperature and I hate that.  I tried sipping at my cup of water all day anyway.  But not only did I not drink much water but I was dying of thirst.  When I got off of work I met Greg at the storage locker and we started working.  And needless to say it was about 8pm before I go****er and food.  I don't eat much during the day because I like having a nice dinner, so I save my calories for that meal.  I ended up feeling sick, dizzy, and I had a migraine.  I was being very stupid.  I pushed myself too far. 

Then to top it off I got home ate, took a shower and relaxed.  Then proceeded to lay there till after 1am because I could not get to sleep.  And THEN...I woke up at 3:30 with leg cramps and couldn't get back to sleep!!!  So I had 2 1/2 hours of sleep.  I woke up this morning earlier than usual because I had to load up my car and get gas and stop at Walgreens for WATER (I wasn't going to have a repeat of yesterday).  AND...after work I have to go back to the storage locker and work some more because I have to be out today....it's my last day or I will get charged $200 for another month (they don't prorate...you go over a day, you get charged a whole month).  So more hard labor today.  But I have been eating and drinking today.  I just think I will be exhausted because I didn't sleep last night.  Oh well...such as life.

I do have to say I have the worst pulled muscle in my butt.  I don't know if it's from the fall or from moving.  But it doesn't help sitting at this desk for periods at a time then I get up to walk and OUCH!!!  It hurts.  So it will be fun to move with that too going on.

And it's supposed to rain. 

Ok done complaining...LOL!!!

How is your Friday going?

OK, the first thing you need to learn is, you do notask if you can throw something out of the freezer or frig. Chances are he doesn't even remember it until you bring it up. Hubert has a habit of putting 1/2 used sodas back in the frig. After a couple of days of him not drinking them (he opens fresh) they get thrown. No asking if he still wants it. I know he would say yes, and more would be saved.

Hello everyone

I am so ready to get moving now.  Everything is packed and ready.  The place is a wreck.  This morning I tripped on a box and fell and hurt my wrist (it's sore but I'm fine).  It's a good thing I didn't break it.  The last thing I need is to break a bone now.

Anyway...because we are all packed...no cooking.  So yesterday we had Chipotle.  Today I am getting a rotisserie chicken.  I am really trying to stay healthy and stay away from the fast food burgers and fried crap.  It'll be amazing if I can maintain during this time let alone lose. 

Lisa-  as for breakfast I always eat greek yogurt now.  Yoplait has great flavors, like- apple pie, boston cream, and my favorite strawberry cheesecake (and they really do taste like what they claim).  I always eat the regular not the low fat.  There is a 20 calorie difference...big deal.  And I feel low fat and low calorie food is full of chemicals and crap.  Around 10 I will eat an apple or 1/2 banana. 

Oh talk about cleaning out the fridge.  When the time comes.  I will have a fun time.  Greg is sort of a pack rat and this filters over to his food.  And his freezer is packed full of meat that has been there before he met me.  I tried to tell him that even frozen food has an expiration....but he won't have it.  So I actually will be moving old gross meat to the new place...LOL.  I am not going to nag.  I have stated my case against meat 1+ year old.  I am not going to be one of those woman that harp on her man until she gets her way. 

Time to go...enjoy the day.

Morning Everyone.

It is going to be a perfect late spring early summer day. I am planning on enjoying it as much as possible.

I am cleaning out my frig this morning. Then heading outside to finish planting the garden. That is it.

What does everyone eat for breakfast?

My go to food is cottage cheese  with and fruit, with a protein powder, or  refried beans with cheese and salsa. Once in a while a protein shake. Other ideas please! I am in a rut!

Hugs,

Hi Chris and Friends,

its sunny and very warm here. I call it the I-80  weather. It's either super warm or a tornado here in the spring. I'll take the sunshine.

i am a bit worried today. G took his sister to the Univ of IL to have a lumpectomy due to breast cancer. When he told me yesterday he was taking today off from work to take her I just sobbed. I couldn't control my tears. She is younger than me. Her husband died 5 years ago from a heart attack. He wasn't even 50 when she lost him. I'm so glad her brother is there for her. 

Dawn, Katie has a Prius and loves it. Hugs....

Well, I'm off to get lunch. 

Shalom,

sharon

Good Morning, We have fog here this morning too. This is the kind of morning I am glad I don't have to go to work.

I got nothing done yesterday. Every time I started to do something, Hubert needed me to do something for him. So, I will double up some stuff for today.

We had tacos last night for dinner. I made a pound of hamburger, then added the leftover roast and pork steak from the frig, (after grinding them up). It made a much nicer meat mixture,  then just the hamburger. We will fini**** today for lunch.

Have a great day,

 

Lisa
