Hi Jeannie and those to come,
I am having a restful day too. I have my tutoring session in two hours. I enjoy doing that.
I prepared the stuffed zucchini yesterday Jeannie...big hit. I think I have too much, but maybe not.
Breakfast was my protein drink, lunch a quarter of a ham sandwich, dinner will be pork chop and Cole slaw with apples. I am making strawberry shortcake so it will be a splurge.
Hope your day is wonderful.
Julia
Ladies,
I get my babies back today and I have to admit, I missed the little toots.
It is cloudy and looks like we may get a little rain today. I sure hope so...it will cool us down a bit.
Well, today's breakfast was free range from my daughter's farm eggs with picante sauce and some nutritional yeast served ala burrito. Lunch will be tuna salad and dinner will be peas and cornbread with some fried potatoes.
I will snack on cucumbers. My daughter has given me sacks and sacks of cucumbers and we have eaten them for snacks, in salads, on sandwiches, and now I may have to pickle some.....
Ladies, have a restful day and remember to get your water in, move a little, and rest your mind....give it a break.
Julia,
How did your squash dish turn out? I had some yellow squash that were getting close to being too ripe so I went ahead and roasted them in the oven....I stuffed them with a little cheese, bread crumbs, and mushrooms. They are pretty good by themselves but when I stuff them, they are so good.
Eileen,
My neurologists has talked to me about getting it and when I first had the wreck that messed my back up, they did a morphine pump implant and it got all infected plus the morphine was way too strong and kept me in a state of sedation, so I had them take it out. I will probably get it done but I am so afraid of anything that is invasive...
You will be so much happier once you are out of the politics of a company take over. My husband is thinking about retiring and I told him that he will probably be better off...he struggles so much with his diabetes and his kidneys...so maybe it's time.
Hi Laureen and my OFF family:
Good to hear about everyone. I'm at work, nearing the end of my work day. I've been here since 2:30 p.m., and there's just a few things left to finish up. I'm tired but my body isn't hurting too much; the neurostim has proven effective (I had a moment today when my left side of the back was hurting, turned on the stim and a few minutes later, no pain; drug-free relief. I love it.).
I'm a short-timer here. I haven't counted the weeks, but it's about six maybe. I'm getting sick of something of crap so I'm looking forward to the end. I don't know what I'll do when it's all over but I know I will be happier than I am now.
Well, got to finish those last few pages. Have a good Sunday.
So sorry for your loss, Linda. I went through something like that, too, the loss that is, of a dear friend. The food, well, nothing bothers me other than fried foods. Hang in there. 
Hi Laureen,
I am glad that you are starting to use the exercise room that is available at work...what a great perk for the staff!
There isn't much new in my life. I'm stumbling along... Making good choices and bad choices, trying to keep the scale more on the good choice side.
Today I went to get a few more veggies to make the zucchini dish that Jeannie told me about yesterday. We will be having that with half of a Porkchop for dinner. I also bought a watermelon and strawberries. Lunch was a turkey wrap and breakfast my protein drink. I do cheat sometimes so what I plan to eat and my total consumption are not always equal or true. This is my plan, but I am definitely a human with lots of desires that aren't always healthy. I try to be gentle with myself. I am definitely doing better now than I was a year ago with my food choices. You are all helping! Thank you!
Julia
You go girl! You've got this! I have the sugar addiction too. I am better off limiting it rather than trying to wean totally off in my mind. Otherwise I beat myself up way too much and that is so counter productive!
Julia
Jeannie,
You are so kind to help your student's mom with her English. That is a priceless gift. The Kegal comments made me laugh...if I want to shock my teacher friends I'll tell them I'm doing my Kegals....haha!
Julia
Oh Linda, words really don't help much, but I am so sorry that you are going through such grief. I am familiar with the physical manifestations...crackers are sometimes the only thing. The only thing that helps me is knowing that the amount of love that you had for your friend was felt by her. That is worth any amount of pain. Be gentle with yourself.
Julia
