Good Morning!
Trig- Yes it was always a great feeling when the kids made it home safe and sound. When does kiddo go back to her collage? What a break she got. Then there is also Spring break coming and then summer break! Goodness, do they get much school time in? HAHAHAH
Did she ever decide to go to another country for summer break? What a cool idea! Does she have her passport? I need to get one! That is on my TO DO list.
I don't think we have to go full on "Diet mode" to get the scales and the last few pounds off. I am thinking TWEAKING what and when we eat! We eat very clean for the majority of the time. Lets think on that.
Lori- how is your knee doing? You much have pull it in some kind of way when you were doing those videos! I swear as we age we make one wrong move and pow! Something is injured! I also wonder too if your muscles were cold? It was just something I was thinking about. Cold muscles don't like to move! I know I sure don't!!! LOLOLOL
Going back to the soup conversation. I do not think they are a bad as "they" would have you believe. These are the same people that tell us to eat more carbs and less meat! MEH on them. I don't think adding a soup here or there as gravy is terrible. I would take it over alot of other things. Most likely the
plant people spreading more propaganda! LOLOLOL
Hopefully you are back up and doing your thing! Did you get any snow?
Nic- What is happening in DE these days? You are quiet since the holidays. Hoping you are all good and just relaxing and humming along.
Is it still 80 degrees on your porch?!?!?!?!?
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have a couple of MUST do's today. First, I need to fax a copy of my current driver's license to GA. Lazy me has not gotten around just yet to changing my address. Guess to who summoned to jury duty. Not just ANY jury duty- GRAND JURY DUTY.
WOW - LOLOL
Then change my address with the post office! I would think that changing your license with the DMV would do it. NOPE! - IT is such a pain to change all my addresses. I don't want to get served again- must be done.
Second, I am doing a walk through on a potential house my son is considering. He is all approved and is ready to GO! I found a house last night on Zillow and he went through it. However, it was dark. I said you need to go back in the day light and take another look. I am going on this walk through, with momma eyes.
Oh yea- toss work in my mix for today. I do have a "light" week on tap! Happy about that.
Eating- I pretty much went off the rails this weekend with all the hoopla and such. My birthday is tomorrow, and the kids came Saturday. Then my mom and her husband came yesterday. It was a food fest, both days. They all brought stuff so I wouldn't have to cook. Sweet and off plan all the way around. I feel like garbage today, as expected.
I am picking myself up and getting back to square. Festivities are OVER!
For tomorrow I picked up a filet steak and crab legs for my birthday. NO GARBAGE food. I did splurge on a bottle of red to go with my steak, of course!
Seriously though I am going to get these last 20 pounds off this year! and hit maintenance! HUGE goal of mine. I have not been to goal in over 9 years! It is time!!!!!! So close!
So, I am thinking since I am mostly meat (when I am not off rails)- LOLOL of putting in a chicken and fish day. The most important thing I am going to do is start doing IF again. It really worked for me and then It gradually went to the wayside after I went to VA.
Intermitted Fasting works best when one isn't tied to a work schedule.
When I went back to the hospital, I started eating like everyone else- lunch and late dinners. Tose dinner- turned into grazing all night!
For me is more about reeling in the timing and such. Carnivore works for me, when I work it correctly!
I think all the carby foods this last weekend made my hip joints hurt. Both sides. It really does that! So, another reason to batten down the hatches. Back in the saddle!
Not much else. I have a new doctor's appointment on Thursday! I will meet a new guy. I need a doctor here in Greenville. I was hoping for a woman but could find one. This guy is from up north and has studies at the best universities. So that is Thursday. I will do blood work too. That should be interesting after the food fest in the last two days. I feel my weight is up too. I am avoiding the scale till Thursday. MAYBE I can get this bloat off between now and Thursday! LOL
I am so over it getting dark at 5 pm. I need Spring and I need it NOW!!!!!!!!! Cold and dark does not bode well.
The good news- March is 8 weeks away and counting. It hits mid /upper 70's here in March. Things bloom, and pollen is in the air! Come on Spring!
Later Gators!
