Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
MMMM. I just ate that and I thank you for the tip. It was yummy! Great job on the water! I know that is hard to do but once you get used to peeing so much, it's definitely helpful in many ways.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! Yeah the water was a bit much to get used to at first but now my bladder has seemed to adjust.
DeleteI like to do the potatoes and eggs thing too - delish and it sticks with you.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does!
DeleteI went to zumba last night. I'm going to tackle some heavy house cleaning today so that'll count for today. I'm doing a little better on the exercise front, but I need to get back to tracking calories. It's just so time consuming and tedious,and when I was sick I stopped. Getting back into it is hard, but I know that it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteZumba is so fun! I forgot about it, might have to bust that out again! It is tedious but a good way to keep yourself in line or get back into it. ;-)
DeleteThat salad looks great, as does your breakfast. I think it's so important to be creative in our cooking and presentations of the food, in order to stay on this healthy journey. It sure makes taking the "high road" easier, when the choice is so yummy-looking and tasting! The Mister is a lucky man. I have always found that a salad tastes so much better when someone else has prepared it. Speaking of the "High Road," that is my favorite breakfast choice at Village Inn. I had it yesterday, you get hash browns, scrambled egg whites, two sausage links and an English Muffin, for a total of 550 calories. I always request "no butter" on my muffin, and use sugar-free jelly instead. I have a feeling they smear that butter on every single English Muffin that goes out of their kitchen, without regard to the at least 100 calories involved, and that 100 added calories is not included in the 550-calorie total they list on the menu. So when I add a couple containers of 10-calorie sugar-free jelly to my muffin, it's a very good trade-off!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. You really do eat with your eyes first. Yeah I always ask for my steak with no butter or as they like to call it "finishing sauce"...aka butter. Like I need the extra 100+ calories soaking in there. Good on you with the breakfast!
DeleteBoth those meals look divine! Sounds like a fantastic week so far!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks mama!
DeleteYou are rockin' it girlfriend!! *snap, snap, snap* (go ahead...picture it...z-snap right there...LOL)
ReplyDeleteYou know I did!!
DeleteI definitely need to improve my water. For the past two weeks I've really struggled to take it all in at work because I've been working at two different desks and my equilibrium is thrown off there, but I'm really feeling it. My legs are retaining water and my ankles....oy! It starts around 2pm and then it dawns on me that I haven't had my water. Duh. I think I'm going to set an alarm on my email that will pop up on my screen every 30 minutes to remind me to swig. I was doing great at it and something has just been "off" recently. Part of it is I took myself off my bc pills so this is my first full month without them so I'm going through a HUGE hormone adjustment as well too. Water would definitely help with that.
ReplyDeleteYes, those reminders will definitely help. I set the microwave timer to go off so I had to get up off my butt too. Oh man, hormone adjustments have to be fun...not.
