Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!

Happy Dance....it's Monday......  Thought that might make the starting the work week better....NOT!!  It was fun taking my vacation at the end of winter when I was sick of the snow but now that it's summer I am ready for another one!!!     I HATE my new microwave so it's going back to the store!!!   There is a code for everything and I just don't have the time or want to learn them all!!  I want to push defrost or cook and set the time.  The only feature I really liked on it was Soften Butter (after I looked up the 2 part code) but honestly unless I am baking how often would I use it...NEVER!

Hi Roz!  I use the fast buttons - like 30 seconds and keep pushing it until I'm at the # I want, unless it's like 5 minutes.  I like the microwaves that you just push 500 and it gives you 5 minutes on high without having to go through the power/settings.  Unfortunately I never know how they REALLY operate until I get them home and out of the box.

Its possible I'm dehydrated... very possible.  I tried to stay hydrated, especially on the ride back since it was SOOO hot.  We stopped every 100 miles and I drank a bottle of water each time.  Of course that's ONLY the ride back and not the rest of the week....

Scale was a "little" better this morning, but not anywhere near where it should be.

B - coffee

L - salad with WAY too much ranch dressing.  Went to Wegman's and made my own.. I made too much and for some reason feel I needed to eat it (ugh).

S - brought double protein drink with me.  This MAY be dinner if I don't drink it at work.

D - something light and small (protein drink).  I'm heading back to MI in a day or so and don't want a lot of food around when I do.

Vits:  YES

Water:  Well... coffee so far...

I've bought the same brand of Panasonic microwaves since my family got their first one at the end of the 80s - the logic is similar so I've been OK.

I detest steak!!  I hope I don't have to it for a really long time, not only do I hate the taste and texture but it stinks out the house, hmph!!
