Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!

I am not feeling it today. I really don't feel like going into the office. It looks like a light & easy day but I am still just not in the mood for a commute in the rain.

QOTD: What's something you tried because of an internet trend and loved? I can think of two - first, I saw about a million videos on TikTok of cats getting their heads massaged with these little electronic massagers and the cats looked so happy. I finally got one a few months ago and my cats have never loved me more. Our night time routine got a lot longer and more complicated because they both need a turn but it makes them so happy :) I also got one of those hot brushes that you can plug in and it takes your crazy curly frizzy hair and straightens it with one comb through. It's not quite that easy, but it really does work better than anything else I have owned.

Accountability: Good until my walk through Target led me to some mini Doritos. Funny, though - the call to buy them was stronger than I could resist, but after a handful, I was satisfied and done. They really were not as exciting as my brain told me they would be. I am down another .5lbs. Slow but steady.

Good mornin everyone!

The only thing set in stone is an appointment this morning. We might need to run for a quick grocery trip too. My mom is just not doing real great. Lots of stuff.

I got the report back for my myelogram. Lots of issues but they are in the mild department. A big bone spur complex that is on the interior of the spinal cord canal. Nothing that'd explain my shoulder so I see more testing in my future. It's really been bothering me a lot. It makes everything a little more difficult. My lower back is and I guess will always be a **** show, no one is willing to help me with that. It had me in tears this morning. So now on top of feeling overall ****ty I am feeling puffy faced and ****ty. It's getting old. I did find my controller for my spinal cord stimulator and changed some of the settings like the NP suggested. So far no change. :::shrug:::

QOTD: I am so not in on the latest things. I should try to be more so but I literally always forget to look at things or get recipes. I'm an old fuddydud.

Food is up in the air today. Easy stuff I am sure as I have little energy.

Good morning ~ Nothing ever seems to be as exciting as our brains tell us it will be! That is what I told myself on Monday when there was a Nacho Bar party in the lunchroom. I didn't go but my brain won't shut up about it because I still want nachos! Yesterday was great work progress for me, but very stressful in other ways. Today will be very busy, a mini project first thing, 3 back to back meetings after that and another after lunch. Tomorrow will be better, I just need to get through today.

QOTD - I've been influenced absolutely! A posture sport bra that I love it and basically living in it at home because it feels so good on. A hot comb straightener that I used yesterday for the first time. I like it and it got out the curls but did not tame the frizz as well as I'd hoped. Prime bites brownies - I loved them at first, now they are absolute ick.

Accountability - perfect! 43 active minutes, 10,526 steps. Today I am 168.0 and have 30 minutes done on the treadmill.

B- coffee, yogurt

l - chicken and spanish cauli-rice, zero tortilla

d - meat sauce, parm and garlic baguette

s - small apple, cutie, jerky

Have a great day!

( The report and like buttons should be further away from each other! I almost reported you for a Nacho violation!)

Make some Nachos! You told me how to crisp up the zero carb tortillas, cut them like a pizza and crisp them up, some taco flavored ground beef, great cheese, some fresh veg and salsa. Maybe that will quiet your brain down!

these El Milagro chips are good. I've been making black bean dip lately. My current favorite snack is five of those tortilla chips dipped in the black bean dip (so 2-3 T of dip). Both are great!
