Good morning ~ Hopefully you guys are able to get back to normal today. I ended up WFH yesterday because I didn't feel well. I still feel horrible, and the headache I have is the worst part. The kind that wakes you up and you know you should get up and take something, but don't want to move and make it worse so you suffer. I have to go in today and finish my report. Tomorrow is a holiday for us so yay but now I gotta hustle. The handycouple came yesterday to finish assembling the couch. They had the whole thing done in 15 minutes. We were the problem, not the couch, lol. They knocked money off the bill - nice! Worth every penny.
If anyone saw in the news about a CA courthouse bombing yesterday, that was my town. The same courthouse Rob is at almost everyday, luckily not yesterday.
QOTD - Roast leg of lamb and boiled corned beef. The smell and the fat grossed me out. Now, I love grilled lamb chops or baked corned beef where the fat is rendered and crispy.
Accountability - none. food was comfort meh, 10 active minutes and 6,021 steps. Today I'm 169.0 no treadmill - i'm resting.
B- coffee, legendary cinnamon roll
l- buffalo chicken w/celery
d- breakfast or leftovers
s- pineapple, apple, edamame

Woohoo! That's an amazing NSV! Congratulations. I'm so excited for you. I'm at the point where it's very noticeable and it's so hard to remember who I told I'm doing Wegocy to lol. It's not a secret but I don't make it my Slack status, ya know? I always tell people who comment or ask and are obese. To remove some stigma and answer questions if they have them.
QOTD: my mom loved a dinner of shake and bake chicken breast, rice a roni, and salad with fat free ranch, back in the 80s. She was always the first to hop on any weight loss bus whether the fat free movement, the margarine movement, the phen-fen movement. And she wasn't even fat! This is why I haven't told her about Wegovy. I don't need the food police!
I also have a great story about Shake and Bake. One of my closest college friends got a job in Baltimore about 10 years ago. She and her mom were apartment hunting and they had a demoralizing first day. I joined them on the second day to see some places in the Mt Vernon neighborhood. On our walk to a place her mom mused, I wonder what's near here. Do you have a grocery store? Well, I'll talk to a wall so about a minute later I saw a guy with a plastic bag and I said "hey! Do you live around here by chance?" He said yeah. I said, "My friend here is looking at a place on this street, we were just curious if you find this neighborhood safe and also where do you grocery shop?", He said he loved the area and there are two choices. Eddie's, just two blocks over, or Safeway which is a bus ride away. Then he proceeded to tell us all about how Eddies is so convenient but pretty pricy. He then said "I mean a box of Shake and Bake is $3.99 at Eddies and only $2.59 at Safeway!" We chatted a bit and thanked him and went to the appointment. All day long we would randomly crack up about how RANDOM it is to compare THAT item. Not milk, not eggs, not something very typical LOL
My eats today are sparse. I'm going to have to break down and stop at the store tonight after the gym. I still have turkey and cheese so that's breakfast. I also have tuna and i was considering a mixture of tuna, goat cheese and olive tapenade. Or would it be better with feta cheese? (Grim do NOT weigh in here lol).
Swinging a chicken that ho****er is back today. Apparently yesterdays chicken hit Herbert right in the face and spurred him to action!
on 9/26/24 3:08 am - Amarillo, TX
Good mornin everyone. Hoping 8 am is the magical hour for you and Grim. That's just way to long without ho****er!
Apparently I have migraines now. It was just so bad last night. On top of a quick stomach bug I had yesterday. Finally got the headache to let up some after taking a mix of things. Today looks to be better. I do need to get back to the dentist for a slight adjustment to my denture. We might go to Sam's but that may wait until tomorrow,
Sending all the positive energy I can muster to those in the path of Helene. Please be as safe as possible!
QOTD: my grandpa used to make fried yellow squash that was so so good, he grew them himself and they were perfection. He also made a killer chili Mac. I haven't had either since he passed and a few years before that. I could make them myself but it's just not the same. Also his favorite I made was chicken and dumplings and I haven't been able to make it since I made it for him.
food is up in the air because we need groceries.
Congrats on the NSV QJB! That's awesome!
Good Morning! It's almost the end of the week. Yay!
Ok, Herbert came, which is amazeballs, but........ we still have no ho****er!! :( Because yesterday the power was out all day, and they can't fire up the gas burner without electricity. It's supposed to happen at 8am today, but I am not holding my breath. I am headed into the office soon, and with any luck I will come home to a piping hot shower and clean dishes. Fingers crossed.
QOTD: Did you grow up with food you ate all the time that you never eat anymore? I can think of two dinners my mom made - pot roast and meatloaf! We used to have the both often but I have never made either.
Accountability continues to be nil. We ordered out again last night because we had no electricity. But I do have an NSV to share! I wore a pair of pants yesterday that are in the single digits and I hadn't worn since before grad school.
I guess I will plan on the same as yesterday - egg bites, salad & leftovers (omg I have so many leftovers it's insane).
Cold,Covid or Summer Flu still can?t seem to shake it ?. OR ( and this is a big OR ) it?s some kind of depression based on fear and trauma.
I do have a lifetime history of not asking for things I deserve ( like scholarships or insurance policy payouts) because as a kid ( and even recently now ) my Dad made sure I NEVER received anything I asked for particularly when I really needed it and richly deserved it for my many many hours of contribution.
He ENJOYS kicking me in the teeth emotionally- the latest is I asked him to lend me $15,000.00 for a DAY to prove I have matching funds for these grants - he declined because without this I?ll lose my home.
The ONLY reason I need this money is because he ( with his 91 year old multi- millionaire self STOLE $ $20,000.00 out of MY bank account last month to prevent me buying a Tesla. 
Yep I did set myself up for that one by trusting him ? but in all fairness what insane person steals from their own kid when they absolutely don?t need it ?
Every time I walk in Riverside Park I look at the rent stabilized terraced apartments with magnificent panoramic river views he denied me many years ago after another 6 month search - I was young and the landlord ( the rent was $1700.00 ! And would have hardly increased for the rest of my life ) requested a reference- I gave him my Dad?s number and he told him I couldn?t pay the rent and not to rent to me ( he didn?t) 
.
Remembering these actions still hurts after all these years ?. ( there are many - always exquisitely crucial and senselessly cruel unless you understand he takes almost a *****graphic sick PLEASURE in hurting me)
In any case this history makes it VERY hard to ever ask for ANYTHING no matter how well deserved
Feeling frustrated with myself also makes me want to overeat when I?m not at all hungry. I?m Hangry lol!
Long Island Podiatrist appointment at 8:30 ( have to get going in a few hours - can?t sleep 
unfortunately ) and chiropractic adjustment in the City late afternoon.
No exercise yesterday except gardening-
D - leftover mango crunch salad w miso dressing , mushroom soup
midnite snack cookies n tea.
B - spanakopita maybe scrambled egg whites ff cheese ff half and half and your favorite, butter buds ( popcorn seasoning now same thing just saltier)
L - Long Island means LOBSTER ROLL ! 
The stoopid ( and food related 
things that give an overeater joy !)
D- tbd hopefully something healthy , maybe a walk home .
That's med she prescribed. I'm on the 150 mg XR right now. I go back in 6 weeks.
They all played being hateful so stellarly! (Probably not a word) so kudos for them for that haha. But I agreed I loooved seeing Nantucket!
Some medications seem to be made only in extended release form - like my Wellbutrin 150 mg XR which is a very mild antidepressant that helps me breathe, function and exercise.
Interestingly enough the 300 ( which I use when starting intensive exercise like swimming laps for an hour ) is NOT XL.
Ashley Madison was a trip - I really had no idea what happened until I watched this.
