Monday cafe and cardio..

Ugh... I am tired.. I got some allergic reaction last night so I took 2 benadryls.. I still feel like crawling back to bed and sleep some more. But - I'm at work trying to make money to pay for cat food and vet visits.. (cats need food - I can eat whatever - that is my excuse for working...need to take care of the babies).  My Bfcat just cost him over 2,500  in vet visit - specialist.. and we hope he will be OK...The good thing is - we can afford it...sort of... (justification - the cat does not need college fund or a new car)

But as tired as I am - the house and yard work is coming along...  Slowly - but getting there... I had pinestraw spreaded over the weekend, and cleaned the grill... (ugh). New patio umbrella looks good, and we went and picked up a nice deck rug to put under the table... 

The baby kitten - Dewey - is growing like crazy and I think he is doing better.  I may keep him - or try to find him a new home. My BF wants us to keep him - but I am not sure if that is a good idea... I am so busy as it is and adding to my plate - may not be best for me at this time...

My eats today: 

coffee + miralax + more coffee 

Green tea

protein shake

salmon with veggies... (leftover from Sunday) 

more proteins - shake and cookies

bacon and prosciutto as a snack...(yes, it is allowed on MY diet - potatoes, rice, grains and other starches are not... not even a bite)

dinner: not sure... but I will figure something...  

Good Afternoon~~~It's been a crazy, busy day at work today and I'm just now getting a chance to log on and catch up. We've had another round of family come through for a long weekend at the beach. Some left yesterday and a few are still here through mid-week. I drug out the big smoker grill that we have and made a giant batch of BBQ (pork with a vinegar based sauce- NC Style) so my eating has been wonderful. Struggling to get in enough water. I'm a little on the headachy side today (combination of weather changing and dehydration). My knee has been cooperating and I've been either walking or swimming every day for the past few weeks. I go for my last physical therapy session Wednesday morning.

Today's eats:

commute: coffee

Breakfast: Instant oatmeal with dried cherries

lunch: Chicken Breast

snack: Trail mix

Dinner: Fish Tacos

lns: Frozen Yogurt

Yall have a great day and remember to take those vitamins and drink tha****er.
