Tuesday cafe and cardio

Good morning Botts:

Iris, I hope you and your family are ok this morning. I really do understand the loss you feel after losing your son's friend.  Our prayers are with you again today. Logging food is probably the farthest thing from your mind today, so I thought I would start the topic.  Tri

My exercise plan:

3 loads of laundry and daily chores, cleaned out the utility closet for an hour, vacuum 1st floor, swim lengths, bike

My finger is still there. Someone suggested putting crazy glue on the cut to help stop the bleeding.  I had no idea that so many people use generic crazy glue for cuts like that.. Works really well.. It still hurts if I bump it accidently and my cat tried to chew on it in a middle of the  night.. (OUCH)

My eats are simple today (at least the planned ones) I really wantto lose 2-3 lbs in one week.. so wish me luck.. 

coffee + miralax (x 2)

green tea and my morning pills. more green tea

Proteins shake (the green one from yesterday)

protein shake (another green shake) 

one more shake (got new vegan powder - wish me luck) 

dinner: not sure but will figure something out.. meat and veggies? 

LNS:my nuts..

It is going to be scorcher here today -95+ and humidity.. so I will be drinking a lot of water..(at least plan to) 

exercise - house work.. 

Hi H.a.l.a.,

I haven't been on here in a long time and I can't find any recent posts from Tess.  Do you know why?  Thanks.

Angie

She has some family - work issues (not sure what) and decided to take time off the boards. 

If you want to say hi to her - send her PM.. we miss her.

Thanks for letting me know. I will PM her to let her know she is in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope your finger gets better.  There was an article in the Wall Street Journal (of all places) that reported ERs were using super glue to prevent scarring.  Tri

Good Afternoon. It is hazy, hot and humid here this afternoon. It's been hovering in the upper 90's and heat index was over 115 the last time I checked. Work has been crazy the past few days which is actually a blessing in disguise. As long as we're busy I don't graze in the breakroom nor do I have time to dwell on the weekend's tragedy. Being busy means I don't always get enough water in though. Once again I'm trying to find my balance in oh so many ways.

Eating today has not been good....way tooooooo many carbs.  1/2 Bagel with cream cheese this morning. A 1/2 slice of pizza at lunch time. Dinner tonight will be much better though...boneless pork chops on the foreman grill, cucumbers in vinegar, broccoli slaw (Moma fixed it for sunday dinner and it is Wonderful) and Watermelon for dessert. The one thing that I've tried to do lately is when I catch myself with out a plan and I grab a poor choice, I only eat about 1/2 of it. That seems to do the trick without making me feel a whole lot of guilt.

Knees are freaking killing me today. Physical therapy again Thursday morning. I'm thinking I may have overdone it this weekend. I did A LOT of walking the neighborhood and pacing. Thanks for the continued prayers.
