I'm here too. Getting ready for my crafting weekend in Tahoe. I have to go through everything to choose what I absolutely want to drag up there. I am getting excited now. I leave on Thursday and come home on Sunday. No internet.

Time to get back to work.

Breakfast- protein drink

Lunch- tuna on lettuce

Dinner- Noodles with Parmesan cheese

Snacks- watermelon and nuts

I am beginning to love my retirement Mondays as much as I dreaded the "work" force Monday and surprisingly, for the exact same reason.  When I worked, I hated Mondays because I had to hit the floor running to catch up and shake off all the confusing and chaos of the weekend but retirement Mondays I'm still shaking off the chaos of the weekend and the hitting the floor running is an entirely different feeling....relaxing and calming...I can meditate whenever I want. LOL

B: I haven't eaten breakfast.  I got up and made DH's breakfast and just didn't feel like eating so I didn't....I'll probably eat a little cottage cheese here in a bit.

L: I canned soup over the weekend, so I'll probably eat a little of the overflow (not quiet enough for a quart so it's in the refrigerator waiting to be cooked.)

D: Trout. Grandson went fly fishing and came home with a ton of fresh trout.  I thought after freezing all the trout from a couple of weekends back, I wouldn't want to mess with anymore, but he had some beautiful rainbows and so I brought a mess back and tonight I am making grilled trout, asparagus, grilled potatoes, and tomato and cucumber salad. 

Snacks: I've got peaches and apples that I will snack on for today...hopefully, I'll get them all canned.   

Ladies, have a great day.

Hi All,

When I was caring for my Mom she had some dementia...mostly short term memory stuff. It was frustrating to me, and kind of sad because she acted different from what I had in my head as Mom. I didn't realize that she was dying so I'm sure I wasn't as patient as I should have been.

I'm cleaning house today and getting things together for my scrapbooking trip to Tahoe next week. I will be there for four days with about 50 women. It's lots of fun.

Where are you Jeannie?

Breakfast- omelette

Lunch- Swiss cheese and an apple

Dinner- spaghetti with meat sauce and a piece of bread

Snacks- watermelon, apricots

Good Morning Trish!

Sorry to hear your mom's dementia may be worsening. It is a heartbreaking & time-consuming illness to deal with!

I am trying to reduce my carbs/sugars. I have done much better this week, but am doing it slowly vs. cold turkey. I am using some ideas from a keto site...they have a great source of high protein/low carb meals.

Tonite I am making one of their recipes...bacon cheeseburger casserole. Will see how it goes! It has helped to be back on the protein shakes for breakfast. I never had a problem with them like some folks and am full longer and have less sugar cravings.

Today I am trying to organize the house a bit as I was pretty lazy yesterday. I don't know if it is just aging, diet or medical, but I can go strong for 2-3 days and then have no energy for a day or more. Just hate it!

Well hope to see more of us check in.
