Good mornin everyone.
Not much planned today. Probably a trip to the bank and maybe petco. The party Saturday was nice. Randall loved my gift and declared it his favorite. He is getting into octopuses too. He asked for a huge crocheted octopus like one of mine a friend made. So I worked out a deal with said friend to make one. Will attach a photo of him with it at the end.
I am feeling a little rough around the edges.
QOTD: hmm...Smaug would be fun for a day. Before he gets killed and what not. Sitting in a cave and all that would be fun. In all actuality it'd be Garfield because...well it's self evident! LOL
food is unplanned. My stomach is just blah still. I had eggs but the rest is unknown.
Good Morning! New week and last day of the month already! My weekend flew by but Em is all set up in her new unit. My fitness app counted 89 flights of stairs Friday and I don't doubt it! I didn't have much downtime over the weekend but she's all set and that's what matters.
QOTD: The first one to come to mind is Astro from The Jetsons
TSS: 10 years 1 month
B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit
S: Mixed nuts, a piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Tri tip salad with avocado, a banana, and dark chocolate
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 20 mins Pilates bar
V/W: On track
Totals: Cals:1311 Protein:103 Carbs:129 Fat:50
Have a great day!

Good morning ~ An extra day would be nice! I was pure lazy bones Saturday, but pretty productive yesterday so I feel pretty good today. Kiddo came over yesterday and helped lift heavy stuff and carry big things. I fed him well. I am getting almost depressed with all the football and feeling tied to home. Why am I not making other plans? I got my room cleaned up. I had 7 heavy bags of donations and put together a small dresser for more storage so that will help tremendously. Now, my exercise area is clear! I just need to put more clothes away and vacuum and the room is done. Today I need to finalize a report and prep for the new month. I really have to get ahead this week because I have a conference next week.
QOTD - Pooh Bear 
my first love! Piglet and Tigger too - the whole gang for that matter.
Accountability - Whoppers, wine, 3 active minutes and 6,104 steps. I reach my stand goal everyday, so I have that going for me! Today I am 168.8 and I have 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, yogurt
l- chicken and cheesy cauliflower
d- leftover pork chop w/zero tortillas
s- nectarine, cutie, jerky
Have a great day!

Good Morning! 
Finally sunny ( if cold ) here. Looking forward to moving !
It was all I could do yesterday not to go running to the ( free! ) gym but I was a good grrl and drove to IKEA as planned. Plastic organizing boxes obtained - looking forward to a cleaner living room !
Walked 2.2 miles there and charged my car free 
D was bites of IKEA food, midnite snack bites of IKEA cakes 
B - leftover pastries, jaggery Yemeni coffee latte ( Jaggery is Asian palm sugar - tastes kind of caramelly. Delicious but most of the sweetening is stevia ( I don't do well with sugar) Something proteiny maybe ff omelet n cowboy beans again.
off plan yesterday - 2 onion rings , banana/ strawberry road food smoothie. No fat but terribly sugary . Took me a few hours to sip it without repercussions.
Unloading , calling gyms and health insurance ( booking appt for massage n acupuncture if possible- those would SO help my painful mid back and neck )
Grant paperwork, organizing planting n cleaning.
L- tbd but have fish, chicken pork and veg - a surfeit of riches
Hoping for an earlier chiro appt and a long walk home and Rigoletto in person at the Met !
Feeling pretty good - it's all a work in progress but I'm seeing improvement 
Good morning everyone. I think things may be back to normal here. I'm a big fan of normal. I'm hoping to get the rest of my shop back in order, and get back on track. I've got my yearly physical on Thursday, so I need to see which pair of shoes weighs the least.
QOTD: Hmmmm. Lassie? Lassie always seemed very smart. But I'm just not thinking of many fictional pets.
6'3" tall, male.

Morning all. I would say this meme feels accurate. I had a very nice weekend that was a combo of hanging with friends and teaching a cookie class yesterday. Both were great and I would love one more day before having to face the week. But thankfully I got a decent night's sleep and it's a WFH day, so I think I got this.
QOTD: Pick a fictional animal for a pet! Even though I am not typically a dog person, I think I'd pick Gromit from Wallace and Gromit. I'd eat lots of cheese, and Gromit will thwart evil plans and keep us safe -- I think we'd be a perfect duo.
Ok, if I see a wagon roll by today, it's time for me to hop on board and hold on for dear life. I had all decent excuses to have 100% takeout last week but those excuses are over. Plus last week when I was eating off plan, I had Wegovy to keep portions low and help metabolize, but I still haven't gotten the new prescription so I am on my own this week.
- protein coffee
- chicken quesadilla
- garlic beef
- falafel and tzatziki
I have been contacted by several people that need help getting protein while going thru this terrible Hurricane Helene. If there is any way you can help can you contact me at
