Good morning ~ Safe travels to Grim. JB, I hope you get to relax along with your to-do list this weekend. I am struggling to get through my annual report with so many distractions - mainly, my own stress. I'm waiting on 4 more reports from IT, it's crazy what this entails. I left work early yesterday to WFH and focus. I'm going into work late today because I need to take my cat to the vet, so I will WFH this morning too. I hope to knock it out today with revisions over the next couple weeks, but I'll get it turned in. No half day for me today. The weekend is full of football for Rob - he is so excited. Along with the usual shopping and house stuff, I'm taking Chloe to the beach, hiking, swimming and napping.
QOTD - I usually crave salty, crunchy, savory foods - I want french fries, fried tacos, fried anything, crackers, pretzels and chips. Lately, I am seeing all these fast food posts w/low cal, high protein hacks on TikTok and I want to try them! I love a good hack.
Accountability - Great, 51 active minutes, sadly - 9,796 steps. I feel asleep on the couch and crawled to bed, steps be damned and now I'm so mad!!! This morning 167.6, 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, protein coffee, eggbeater scramble
Review of the Jordans Skinny Pumpkin sauce - pretty good. If you have tried the salted caramel sauce, it's not as sweet. I added extra spice and it was nice, clean - no weird taste or smell. For 0 cals, like it very much. Added a little caramel and it was chefs kiss.
l - Chicken italian sausage w/grilled veggies and parm
D- 1 slice of pizza and salad
s - honeydew melon, jerky

When my husband was out of town for a few days I used to enjoy eating things like a half gallon of ice cream for dinner. My favorites was Breyers strawberry and cream and I would let it get soft so I could eat it quicker.
Panera sells wonderful bagels and has a spread with cream cheese, walnuts, and honey that reminds me of really yummy wedding cookies. I really believe in indulging the cravings before they become out of control cravings. I have chocolate candy at home and not tempted at all because I have given myself permission to eat it if I want it.
Since I allow all foods non of them tempt me anymore and I enjoy them in moderation just like I used to think was impossible. Hope you have a great and relaxed weekend with your precious kitties.

Good mornin everyone, hoping Grimm has uneventful travels and sending healing thoughts to the whole family.
Not just a whole lot going on today. Rachel is staying the night. We have to get a few groceries. I'm feeling pretty damn rotten, I'd stay in bed if I knew I wouldn't hurt more. My shoulder is flaring up really bad. No word on the myelogram. In other news Tommie has a new name. She is now Tange, short for tangerine. I didn't like tommie for a cat but really like Tange. I wish we could bring her into the main house already but the appointment is Wednesday
QOTD: salary and sweet combos.
B: egg, chicken sausage m cheese and lots of coffee
L: probably a salad with grilled chicken breast bites
D: unknown at this time.

Morning all! It's 3am and I just said goodbye to Grim who is off to CA. I'm going to miss him terribly but I have a big work event today and when it's over I plan to crawl into bed with a couple of cats, and maybe not get out until Monday? Actually, I have a hell of a to-do list to prep for classes, but I really do hope I can get some rest in.
QOTD: What food do you crave most often? I think the most amazing thing about Wegovy is that it just turned off the "crave" button, especially for sweets. My office was filled with chocolate treats yesterday and I didn't even turn my head which is just wild. I have noticed that although I wouldn't call it a craving, I think Wegovy makes me want comfort food / bread more often. I haven't acted on it, but I have been wanting a bagel and cream cheese, which hasn't been on my radar in decades.
- protein coffee
- TBD - breakfast at the work event
- leftover Cava chicken and hummus salad
- chicken noodle soup
I'm looking for a woman roommate for the conference in September. I have reserved a room with 2 queen beds, but will have to commute if I don't find someone to share the expense. It will only cost us $250 total each for Friday and Saturday nights.
I didn't eat breakfast because I wasn't hungry and I was going out to lunch with a group of friends. I got a meatloaf melt sandwich with sweet potato fries. I ate half the sandwich and 1/3 of the fries, and not I'm in a food coma. What did I expect? I never eat sandwiches. Don't know if I'll be able to eat any dinner but if I do, it will be a salad.
