What are you eating and what's eating you?-_SATURDAY!
Hello, family! Prayers, healing vibrations and swinging chickens (and a few hams too) for all who need them.
I don’t know about you but I always seem to struggle more with healthy eating on weekends. Weekends are out of kilter with the Monday to Friday routine for me and I suddenly feel like I’m in grave danger of losing control on Saturdays and Sundays. Especially if we are having company over or , worse yet, going out to someone’s house to eat. It seems that no matter how clear you try to get your special needs across, some just don’t understand or decide that’s too hard to deal with. I recall one summer barbeque when I slipped into someone’s kitchen to wash off all the fat, sugary gooey salad dressing off my lettuce leaves…and was caught doing so…it became a source of much laughter outside. These times are when our determination to "behave" become a challenge. It’s almost as if some seem to sabotague us on purpose. Could that be?

Sunflower seeds are going to kill me. They're great for snacking on, but the salt has me looking like a puffer fish...lol. So, those are off the list! I gained a pound overnight from the dang things. AGH. At least I know what did it.
Made another pot of homemade applesauce yesterday, so I'll have some of that on my cottage cheese this morning, maybe with a ww mini bagel.
Lunch, a Lean Cuisine quesadilla at work,
Dinner......your guess is as good as mine
snacks? I've been rolling deli meat up with FF cream cheese. Make up about a dozen at a time and keep them in the fridge. They're ready to go whenever I need something. Usually just one or two satisfies me.

The retirement thing is delayed again. They have withdrawn their previous settlement offer and we are back to square one. The main problem is that all the players (chiefs and board members) are new and the situation is complicated. So no one really gets it, especially the attorneys, except me.
So their letters are rife with misstatements. I spent most of yesterday refuting their latest attorney letter, trying to come from a loving, non-ego place and remain factual rather than emotional, I'll review that today and email to my attorney on Monday so that his response will be as accurate as possible.
My housemate is moving into his own place today. I'm happy for him but I need the rental income now. Would like to spruce up the bathroom first with new fixtures and that permaceram tub refinishing so it matches the sink and toilet in color. Would also like a new vanity with more storage but that will probably have to wait for now. Another part of me says don't spend any more than necessary until the retirement money starts coming in. I am more fortunate than some to have a little money saved up, a roof over my head and food in the fridge.
Got in some live music and dance therapy with friends last night and today I need to fire up the weedeater and thrash around in that which serves as a lawn around here.
Food has been good lately and the scale is finally inching down again.
