Yep - if the food isn't worth eating, it is time to chuck it! No problem for me either but DH has a difficult time doing that. There is still 1/2 of a chocolate donut in the fridge which he refuses to throw out.

Tummy tuck without abdominal muscle tightening and thigh lift. Beginning of September!

Paula is right! I am here to say....

If you have increased weight bearing exercise and you have been even the slightest bit sore from the workouts, I can 100% guarantee you have inflammation (the good kind) and are holding on to fluid to repair muscle tissue.

Three no fail remedies for inflammation: keep exercising regularly, increase your hydration level substantially, cut processed carbs and sugar way back. You'll be back where you were in 3-4 days.

Peps would tell you the gain is from inflammation from the increased exercise! Keep on keeping on!

Greetings all

The sun is trying to come out. Hoping for it. I have gallery duty this afternoon and it is always better if sunny. Meanwhile lazing about drinking coffee.

So last night's studio meeting was about as expected. Some of these people were totally entitled "Karens" who wanted to know why they were not consulted or get to vote or have more meetings etc. A couple I think get it as a business decision to better use our limited space but the Karens were only focused on what they wanted us to do for them. Oh well, it's done and we have advised these people that they have input on the redesigning of their space and we will work with them. I was proud of how our staff handled the controversy. After all the drama I stopped at the grocery for dinner and guess what? ended up with more carbs than usual.

CC that summer soup sounds good. I don't think of cold soup as soup - more like liquid salad. Good gazpacho is yummy but too much effort. A pox on that big grass plant. Those things are indeed almost impossible to remove. Can you cover it completely and kill it off? Guess what, strong husbands don't always do what they are asked to do.

Liz gazpacho in your coffee? Yuk how awful. So odd that fresh milk was hard to find. That was true in the Philippines - a pitcher of cream was actually canned milk. Made for gross coffee.

Please be careful all of you in the smoke zone. I had no idea those fires smoldered under the snow. No wonder they are so hard to fight. Reminds me of those fires in coal mines in Pennsylvania and Wyoming that burn underground for years.

DH is off to lunch at the Mexican restaurant so that will be dinner tonight. Good thing. On impulse I brought home some pork ribs from the deli. Not so good. They were really greasy. Headed for the trash.. One thing about being sleeved is that I have no reluctance in throwing unwanted food out. Even a donut.

Hmm DD why is it that our bodies can put on pounds rapidly but the other direction is slow as a glacier. At least for some of us. Mysterious. But your new pounds don't stick.

It is almost sunny. Time to get going.
