Happy Hump Day!!!

Irvin's birthday dinner was amazing. He was so happy with everything. The sirloin was grilled to perfection medium rare and we only ate half of it. The squash pie came out perfect and I added walnuts and pecans to it for an added treat. The best part was his morning sugar was only 139 considering all the carbs and sugar he had.

Work was also pretty smooth yesterday considering I was in the scale house. Usually it's crazy, but things were uneventful.

QOTD: Do you drink enough liquids? I've always been a water drinker (well over 64oz a day) more than any other fluid even coffee. Irvin on the other hand hardly drink water and usually has 3 cups of coffee a day. Since the 1st I've been nagging him to drink more and even got him Hin****er. Surprisingly he's been drinking 3 bottles of water a day and he says he feels better since drinking more.

B: steak and eggs

L: scampi

D: lamb gyro

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin Jen and everyone.

Yesterday was rather uneventful which was rather refreshing. Pain levels were higher for some reason but oh well. Today I have my rescheduled appointment with pain management. I'm sure I'll have to do a drug test and it's really just for a pain med refill.

They are still saying extremism cold(for us) this coming weekend. I am less than thrilled. Over the cold! I need to live in a temperate climate!

Ms.Tange's wounds are healing really well and she is back to her old self. No new scuffles.

QOTD: I used to not drink all that much. But I've been eating ice and drinking water a lot. I have coffee in the morning. Sometimes I'll have tea around but not a lot. Usually it's water and ice. I haven't had soda in well over two weeks. I just don't crave it anymore,

B: breakfast sandwich and coffee

L: chicken and a chopped salad.

D: not sure on this one.

Good Morning! Your dinner looks amazing, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Today is a busy one, should be able to made a dent in my year end work-fingers crossed.

QOTD: Getting in my water has never been an issue. I do prefer room temp.

Good morning, everybody!

Home from swimming on this cold January morning. I brought a protein bar for after swimming and actually decided that I needed to bring it inside the gym while I was swimming because I was afraid that it would freeze and hurt my teeth.

I don't know if anybody saw this, but we had a coyote wander into a supermarket in Chicago. I guess he walked into an Aldi store and hid out in the cheese section. If I reached over to pick up a triple Creme Brie and saw a full grown coyote starting up at me, I would have a heart attack. Chrissy told me that it's because this time of year is mating season for coyotes and they get strange behavior. She has to be very alert when she is walking Rudy.

I told my sister that she needs to be careful while she is walking her dog, but she was pretty confident that his large size would deter predators. I don't know, that dog is pretty soft. I don't think that floating around the pool on an inflatable donut really prepares him to battle feral animals.

Working from home today, need to go to Crossfit and it's our first Happy Hour of the New Year. Other than that not much going on.

QOTD: Yes, I am pretty good about it.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Hamburger

Dinner: Maybe just charcuterie

Have a great day, all!

That is an amazing story and I would have been scared to death to see a coyote in the grocery store. I kind of get the creeps when I am driving and see one along the road. There are areas around here with a lot of them and people are warned not to leave their pets outside unattended.

Glad the dinner was such a success and everything looks wonderful. I have always been a big water drinker. When bottled water first became available I was always buying it. People would say it was foolish to buy water when it was free at the faucet but I really enjoyed the water and the convenience so would get a bottle of water when everyone else was getting pop or beer.
