Thursday - 3/6 - Cardio & Cafe

Good Morning Sunshine!!!!! It's one of those days that I hit the ground running and there's no let up in sight until bedtime tonight. I've got my morning vitamins taken care of. I'm on glass #2 of my decaf tea...I'm feeling pretty good about this thing called life today. I'm getting off work early today to tie up some loose ends before I host my jewelry party tonight.

The plan for today is:

Commute: coffee

Breakfast: Ham on whole wheat toast

Lunch: Salad with leftover oven fried chicken

snack: Veggies & Dip (while I put together the snacks for tonight)

Dinner: Mexican Beef & Bean casserole (new recipe from Betty Crocker website)

LNS: A few more veggies & dip while I clean up.

Yall have a great day. I'll be chatting with you more tomorrow.

Taking my vits in three stages starting today.........

You made me melancholy(teary -eyed) with your "good morning Sunshine".....that is what my Dad said to me every morning when I was a kid.  He has been gone for over 20 years and when I read that I could hear him saying it.   Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

Ya'll have a great day.........👌

until tomorrow !

My Daddy had this noise that he would make...the best I can describe it is sort of a high pitched chirpy  "dear, dear, dear" sound. It would get a little louder each time. Most of the time I woke up as soon as I heard his feet hit the floor but I'd lay there and wait for the "call". This summer makes 10 years since he passed away. Impossible. He loved my first husband dearly and Kevin was the son that he never had. I can only imagine how good the relationship between him and skinny man would be. They've got a lot of the same traits. Scary but good. Poor skinny man---he doesn't even know how deeply I'm capable of screwing with him.  lol.

Good morning BOTTs.

Ahhh...Thursday.  Today, I wanted to sleep and sleep and sleep.  I did, even if it was just for an extra 15 minutes.  It always makes the mornings an exciting mad rush to get into the office...and I did...on time....almost.  This is for all the days that I stay late on my own accord.  Justification achieved. Unfortunately, I try to do that with food, too, at times.  I can eat "this" now....and I will be ok because I won't eat "that" later.  If only I had the will power to stay away from "that" later....or heck...to even make "that" null and void because I had the restraint to not eat "this" in the first place.  Hmmmmmm......I will ponder that a bit further, while I work on drinking my water today.

Breakfast:  yogurt granola bar

Snack:  SF hot chocolate

Lunch:  Poor planning.....didn't bring food from home so I am at the mercy of the hospital cafe.  (Please be protein, please be protein, please be protein.)

Snack:  SF hot chocolate

Dinner:  fish and veggies

Snack:  string cheese and apple slices

Enjoy your day, friends.

exercise:  running stairs during breaks

I really think if I'd have turned off the alarm rather than hit the snooze for those few precious minutes, I'd still be burrowed down under the blankets snoring. It was the perfect morning for sleeping in. Even the Daphne didn't want to get out of bed to go take care of business.
