Good morning ~ Yesterday, oh boy. I had a lovely day, I took care of business and my facial was amazing but I hit the wine and snacks hard last night. I have since cleared the house of those treats and am ready to start a new day on track. Today, I am either hiking a docent lead 2 hour hike (but only 1.5 miles...), or just getting on my treadmill for a beautifully guided hike. I think the treadmill is winning right now. Since re-joining iFit, I have amazing options again and I want to take advantage of my membership. Otherwise, I have some errands to run and a fun party at my sisters house this afternoon with a catered taco bar so it should be easy to stay on track. No margaritas for me, no alcohol period for that matter.
QOTD - Are there popular words that drive you crazy and wish would go away? I watch a lot of cooking shows so for me, mine are umami and unctuous. They are overused and so cringe-worthy to me. Please stop! Others are juxtaposed and dichotomy - great words, but I feel like some people go out of their way to use them and it sounds forced and odd.
Accountability - none. I ate all the things. My watch battery died before noon but at that time I was 31 active minutes and 4,552 steps. I know both were actually higher. Today I am a holy **** 172.2. I am hiking today and staying on plan though so that number will come down.
B- coffee, eggbeater veg scramble
l - chicken leftovers, cucumber and tomato salad
d- Al pastor and taco toppings
s - nectarine, grapes, wilde chips w/cottage cheese
Have a wonderful day!

Wow, I did not know that about the Voltaren. No pets, but my little nieces and nephews come over sometimes. I am careful about putting medicines and cleaning supplies out of reach but never thought about the Voltaren being a poison for them. I will be careful to store it out of reach. We do try to watch them like a hawk but they can be so quick, especially when more than one in the house. Thanks for the warning.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I was three years old at the movie theater with my mother and little brother. When the flying monkeys came on screen, he was crying so loud that we had to leave before the end of the movie. No TV movies back in 1951 and I never saw the whole movie until many years later. It is still scary.

I have been looking into those trips since you told me about them some time ago. They are the perfect solution for a single like me whose friends are not that interested in anything off the beaten path. I am still dreaming about my next adventure and pretty sure it will be a cruise on the Nile in a private yacht. I wish I had started doing that ten years sooner, but nothing to be gained in looking back and I always look forward.

I'll check it out.

Well. The day is half done for most of you. Home from the gym. Put in a lot of hard work. Yesterday's accountability was on point. Good fuel, no extra snacks. 85 minutes of exercise, 12,515 steps. My new living room furniture started arriving yesterday. The rest gets here today. Once we get that set up, I'm going all in on new throw pillows, rugs, etc. Even have plans to paint one of our older, beat up drink tables and see how that turns out. It's that or the trash for that guy.
Today's hard work is done. But I'm cleaning the whole front porch and washing throw blankets and pillow covers and just freshening things up. Some laundry and then an early easy dinner so we can go to softball tonight to support the grand.
QoTD: No scary movies here. I don't think I have even seen Wizard of Oz all the way through and when we saw Wicked on Broadway, I almost bolted from the theater when the scary flying monkeys came out.
Bites today
B: egg/bacon sandwich
L: leftovers
D: trying for Air fryer coconut shrimp in zero carb tortillas. First time, we'll see how successful it is.
Peace !

I have lived a long time and have learned that every relationship comes to an end. Either you break up or one of the partners dies. The best outcome is when you are apart but both still friends. Good luck with finding a new place to live and with starting your next adventure in life.

Gorgeous! And the igloo. On my bucket list. Not necessarily in the same location, but still.
Love, love, love these majestic animals and your capturing them in photos for us!
I'm sure coming to that decision wasn't easy so hugs your way.
