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.

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.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
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

Have a great day, all!

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.
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!!!

Im weight loss surgery journey and my question is how can I make healthier meals for my family because my kids are Picky eaters ?
Good morning, everybody!
Congratulations to Irvin on the 6.2. I am trying to get from 7.0 down to below 6.5, that is why I am doing the monitor.
Another bad game last night. The Sunday night game was good, but 5 out of 6 of the first round games were bad. Hopefully next week will be a lot better for the divisional rounds. The college games have been fantastic, but there is only the National Championship, next Monday night, left.
Somebody at our gym is organizing participation in a half marathon April 5th. The problem here is the weather. Right now, it's too cold and dark to run outside (and probably will be until late February). The treadmill that we have in our gym is the no motor type- I haven't ever run on it. I am going to think about it and maybe research what a training program looks like.
QOTD: Over the course of my career, I have enjoyed it. But i am ready to retire now. My official retirement date is 9/30/26, but if I get an offer for 9/30/25, I may take it.
Breakfast: Corned beef hash
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich
Dinner: hamburger
Have a great day, all!

That's a possibility. I'm just glad he's not tossing and turning all night.

His lower blood sugar may be helping with his sleep also.
