Friday, tgif

Hey Jet, I have an ipod, haven't taken the time to load it yet, one of these days.  Congrats on getting the miles in.  Good quality walking shoes are a must, along with water to sip along the way.  How is the weather in FL?

Cold, windy, -5 degrees this am.  All the way to 8 above this afternoon.  Walked the two blocks to and from the gyn and called the outdoor walking done for the day.  Did get in 45 minutes on the treadmill.  Increasing the incline to 15 degrees for a couple of minutes twice during the walk.  Builds up a great sweat and works the thighs.  The treadmill said I climbed 1007 vertical feet during my walk.  Quite a hill.

Thanks Ann, I will enjoy later on.  Craving veggies today.  Had a bite of cauliflower and brocolli while waiting for the jello to set.

i use a pasta called pasta plus, has lots of protein. so i am having shrimp with alfredo sauce and about 5-6 pasta.  don't really like the idea of veggies and jello. i like redhots and bananas in strawberry jello.  you are doing great on your exercising. so proud of you. vick

I posted this on Thursdays agenda post without realizing it wasn't Friday! So just copied and pasted here!


I had a very hectic day at work, brought a ton of paperwork home to try and work on over the weekend, gotta get a lot done before my last day next  Thursday. We went to Walmart to get dog food tonight and found it almost as busy as black Friday. There's a winter storm advisory for this whole corner of of state and all the natives panic when snow and ice are predicted. All the transplanted Yankees around here laugh at us, LOL. We rarely get that kind of weather and so we don't have the knowledge or the equipment to deal with it when it does come. People buy up all the bread and milk and act like starvation might be right around the corner. And yes, we did buy bread and bottled water and a few other things while we were there. But Walmart is our usual Friday night outing, so nothing out of the ordinary other than the crowd.

Vickie, our cats seem to do fine when our weather gets really cold (for us). They just disappear somewhere holed up, and come out when it warms up. Try not to worry.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Not sure how I feel about the veggie jello salad, however a few years ago for thanksgiving my aunt (in law) made orange jello with carrot pieces in it. Didn't think I'd like it. But it was very good. Might have to ask her to make it, sugar free this time, when I m able to have veggies.

Today I have my 5 year old niece staying with us, they say it's gonna snow (BOOOOO!!!! I don't like snow) so we are hanging out inside, she is playing with her kitchen set making us all kinds of food, she keeps telling me here aunt Miss this is sugar free you can eat this, I keep asking her to puree it, and she does, to cute. Gotta love kids.

The real cravings are getting to me now, But I am fighting it, trying to figure out things to make for the hubby and niece that I can puree for myself. But don't have many ideas. Still fighting to get enough protein in, trying a few different protein products. Gotta try to get some more fluids in too.

Still learning, it has been almost 3 weeks. (Monday will be 3 weeks) I go back to work in a week, my 6 weeks vacation has been nice (2 for Vegas 4 weeks for the surgery), but it is time to go back I'm starting to miss the people there.

Well off to take care of things around the house, and continue to eat the fake food, Take care all
