Lori, today is National Golf Day.....thought of you immediately when I learned that

What's up everyone?

beat ya all this morning? and it is 6:30am posting, which is like late for us on the thread LOL

-------today is eat a lb. of my mini meatloaf and cooking 1 lb. of pork belly for second meal. easy peasy zc'y day

have a few errands to handle but life is back to normal for me with services. Still am in awe of the devastation that is in Western Carolina.

taking today on the chill side. woke up kinda tired so won't be going overboard and will be 'just being' thru the day. feel like a bit of netflix binge watching something might happen LOL

ok all, not much in my little closed world and that is always a good thing for me

Good Morning!

I was up at 5:30, but just puttering around and late in posting. Nat'l Golf day, huh? Who knew? I'll be out there hacking and whacking!

The tourney yesterday went ok. I didn't play that well, but our team came in 2nd! I guess everyone was struggling. The conditions were nearly unplayable. The course we were at has had 10 days of a lot of rain. Everything muddy and slippery.....ugh. Thick fog for the first hour or so of play. We couldn't drive the carts off the cart paths into grassy areas, so it was a lot of parking and walking in to your ball. It took forever go play the round. They had a yummy roast beef dinner following the round. Back to my home course today. I think I need some Advil before I go. So achy and just feel "punk" this morning. Too much beer and high carb food yesterday. Back on plan today.

Trig.......I'm in awe of how you eat and how tightly you control it. I think it's great. You know what you need and you do it! Glad you have your internet service back.

Jaz....Fingers crossed that you don't get the "vid". I'm going to get a flu vax, but don't think I'm going to get the new vid one. I think you'll get some good incite from the CGM.

Nic....

Time for me to start moving. It's foggy here this morning so everything at the course will be wet, wet, wet. Yuck.

Later!

Howdy ho

at the airport in Boston- our flight was supposed to be at 2 but we are on standby for an 11:30 and I think we are going to make it so yay. Middle seat almost certainly so boo for that. I'll put on headphones and try to pretend I am not in the middle bc I am an aisle 100 percent of the time girlie

Funeral arrangements etc- no idea. Sons are supposed to do it and I wouldn't be surprised if they plan nothing OR if they choose to not tell us until afterward. Whatever- not my issue.

Man I cannot wait to clean up my food. I pretty much did whatever on this cruise/vacation and I feel like I am seven months pregnant. Totally deserved. Ready to cut back and clean it up. Got my jollies! lol

Good Morning!

I feel good this morning after not having any beer or sugar yesterday. Yesterday morning I was a hurting pup after a day of indulgence. The cruise and all the food and drinks may very well kill me!

I'm playing golf a bit later today and then it'll be home to watch football. Today is the first day of archery deer hunting, so DH is excited. He just loves sitting in the woods. He's going alone, which I do not like. He usually goes to approx. the same place and I told him to make sure that our son knows where he is. If he doesn't come home, I would have no idea where to look for him. I hate this time of year.

Well, I'm hungry this morning, so I think I'll have some eggs and sausage. Need some protein. DH is in the kitchen getting his breakfast, so I'll try to wait until he heads out. I get annoyed when I'm trying to work in the kitchen and he's in my way. Especially when I'm hungry!

-------

Nic.....It sounds like you had a good time on your cruise. What cruise line & ship was it? I'm wondering if it's the same one I'm going on next October?

Jaz......Enjoy your weekend!

Trig.....What are you up to?

-------

Happy Saturday!

Hey there ladies!

Yesterday FLEW right by me! I was non-stop until I dropped!
Good news- (knocking on wood) I feel great and don't think I will come down with that nasty bug/germ my co-worker had. KNOCKING on wood.

Trig- I loved your post on your eating. You are listening to your body. You are forcing yourself to eat what you don't what. I love that. It is exactly right on!
You know (this is going to sound bad)..... My co-worker eats candy all day long. not just ANY candy..... mini whoppers, snickers, and mini bars of candy. She brings in the 5 pound bags. I have nver dipped my fingers in that jar. Anyway, I was thinking as she started to get sick! Sugar feeds illness, keto starves it. that is science-based. I do me like you do you. I eat what I want and keep my mouth shut about others.
Although, she has asked me why I don't "eat" the "good stuff". They have catered meals (pasta) all the time. I eat bacon at those. Yup- I just keep it going. I have to. I can and HAVE gone off the rails and gained back 75 pounds. Never going there again.

Glad to know you are all up and running and the kiddo is back in a routine. I see that NC is slowly getting back power.

Lori- Yay on National Golf Day! - Your cruise is coming up fast girlie! I am excited for you!

Enjoy that free time to do WHATEVER ya want!!!!! LOL

Nic- Safe travels my friend! We are here when you get a minute to tell us about your travels!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I am "moving" to the upstairs unit right above me. I want the top floor for the noise and sleep factor. Having those people that worked 3 shift above me for a week was miserable. They moved on and I wanted that spot. I am glad it worked out. Next time I pack up it will be to GO HOME!

I am another week down. This last week went so fast. That is one thing about my job. I am truly SO busy the next thing ya know I am done with my work day! I get up at 5 and on the road by 7 and clocked in by 725. I clock out at 4-415. I look up and it's noon and I think to myself- just 4 more hours. It will fly.

I am LOVING my Fridays...... Paydays, and it's a FRIDAY! I am loving the $$.... you betcha. I got a wondering eye though for a newer car and had to put that to bed fast!!!! LOLOL - What I have is fine. It will last me another 250,000 miles. Gotta love a Honda. I just wish it was a tad bigger. But hey it's paid for and runs well.

Well time to start my move!

BTW- I feel pretty good. Beef is the way for me too, but those crab legs had my mouth watering!!!!!

Lori, wow bow season already, came fast? I also hate when hubby goes hunting alone cause it is one of those scary situations that can snow ball very fast from good to bad, so understand that. Plus mine can't be trusted HAHA cause we would agree on like a time check in, like say 11-12 cause at that point his early morn hunt was way over and couldn't get him til like 2-3pm and I was like WTH? he would say something insane, like well the ATV flipped in the big dip at the muddy cross over the creek and kinda pinned my foot a bit til I got it out and then it wouldn't start til I worked on it, and eventually I got it running and back to the cabin and then I had to take a shower........blah blah......all thru that kinda chat my brain exploded

Good thing with your lc eating is you know your limits and real fast the body tells ya so I think you will do fine on your cruise Don't be in AWE of my lifestyle, lol, cause it is just the lifestyle that suits me perfectly as yours does you!!! It is so normal for me now that is is me and that is the base of it all so my zc lifestyle just is......no awe needed cause I find I am right where I need to be now, hey took a longer time to hit here, but darn I am here I am in AWE of those who can moderate but I just floundered and backslid and couldn't make it, but once we all find where we need to be, we all become rock stars baby!!!

Nicco you are on your way home into a small fire of it all. I hope all settles a bit and not a trainwreck of crazy. Sending condolences again and I know you got it under control and all that Time will settle things for ya and that is coming.

Jazz, wow very cool ya got top floor I know that is important to you and I am kinda the same way, who needs ANY thing about your head making noise cause I was in the house when the roofer dude was elvaluating and all I heard was weirdo azz stomp and creepy creaks and it was unnerving to say the lease Lol Nothing on the planet wants 'anything' above, like a mouse with a hawk flying over, like a cougar on a high rock perch to a deer walking near the cliff, ya know Instinct baby!!! natural instinct LOL

I don't take prisoners anymore. Someone says to me why don't I eat the good stuff, I would immediately say, yea your good stuff is killing ya, go eat another 50 lbs of sugar this year, lets see how ya fare. ----- yup I don't care anymore cause if SOMEONE TELLS ME first I have every single absolute right to respond.......they just don't know me.......how I will respond now to all is frightening to those WHO ASKED!!!! Don't give a sh**

yea screw new car, I get urges to buy and exchange stuff but in the end, what matters, money in the bank for YOUR NEW NEAR TO YOU retirement point blank for yourself. gotta take priority! But if they are giving one away free....yea go for it, nope, not gonna happen

-------------so all good guys.

get this

drove down the road to my local little IGA smokehouse store for a few things, my 90/10 sirloin burger to be exact cause I LOVE LOVE their meats, and near the little fire dept. I JSUT SEE hanging a big ol' frayed cable right in my passenger side path. I veered a tad cause with my knee jerk of 'don't hit that damn elec cable that is gonna lightening up my metal car' I looked and saw on coming traffic so I bit the bullet.....luckily no damage to me or car and actually drove home a road off that path. It freaked me a bit. SEE ROADS are scary when not even in a more direct path of the big disaster areas....ugh

so came home and asked The Chop what was the name of the little fire dept down the road and he told me, asked why? Said I gotta call Duke Power and told him all of the story and he said CALL 911.

HUH? I wasn't gonna, said nope, I am fine and blah blah and he texted back, what if that kills someone next?

OK

Called 911 and lady said yes call us on big possible issues like this one that can harm people and gave her info on where it was hanging and she said they are dispatching police out to assess. OK DONE DEAL

I did a zero carb purge. I am done eating certain things. Threw out a older box of Slim Jims, heck they were for Bolt mostly and I would indulge but I don't need them ever anymore in my life. Gone. Threw out a pack and 1/2 of salami I bought, not eating it anymore, 0 draw and it was starting to turn a tad dark in color, gone. I ditched an older stick of pepperoni in fridge that kiddo loves and I would eat a bit cause I bought it for her, gone. I hit freezer and threw out a older pack of 'Steak-Ums' that been sitting....used to love a few of those with a tad of mayo and melty cheese, realized ain't ever gonna eat another one again, 0 draw and SO OVER any and all stuff that doesn't suit my exact carnivore lifestyle as I am living it right now.

I am SO exact on my beef cuts, I am so now letting pork belly actually take over all my pork cuts I would buy.....probably won't ever eat a pork chop again, why?? pork belly is full on fat and meat, way better than a pork chop trimmed up cut could ever be for me. Chicken....done with all but full on roasters, I NEED ALL the chick fat at the bottom on the pan to slather over my 1/2 of the chick when me and hubby split one. I literally inhale so much chick fat it is crazy and it suits me so damn well it is amazing.....in heaven baby!!!

so in a redefine my zc life. all a great thing actually.

bit of this and that today
I FEEL FALL in the air. hate it. It was 64 when I went to the little store errand and I HAD to put the heat on in the car?? OMG I am nutso on needing hot weather for best survival LOL

be good all chat up later
