Happy Saturday Morning!
OMG
TRIG- Nurse me kicked in reading your HELL HIKE in 100 degress heat! I wonder... let me rephrase you sound like FOR SURE the heat was taking you out! That was a perfect storm: oppressive heat, uphill hike, beating sun, not used to that torture, and the trail itself! I am so glad it did not go on longer!!!!- Perfectly healthy people drop in those conditions.
GIRL- WE ARE IN A HEAT WAVE!!!!- I am right there with you on wanting to get in better shape. I went up a drive way that was about 3 blocks straight up- had to stop halfway and catch my breath. SO embarrassing! SO outta shape! SO yes I feel you 100% to at least get some endurance back!
But this heat is no joke- I am seriously over it! So glad you cooled down!
Now as far as the pork chop- chowing down telling you to mind your business! That is funny- I would do the same think. I would start talking about all the trips I would be taking with his (ex) insurance policy- all the things I could buy! He ignored me.......
I love that you are all starting to post your food again! It does give clarity to how much we eat- I will be doing that starting today as well!
NIC- Don't get me started on men and cleaning!!!!- HAHAHAH-
I too have a real nose for : What in gods name is THAT SMELL???!?!?!?
So you have had a nice easy week! LUCKY girl! - I know you will fall into a routine and you will fill up with stuff and wonder where all your time is going!
Are you doing the up/down thing?
LORI- Waiting on JAZ to get the party started yesterday huh!!??!?!?
- I would have been later this morning- slept in until 8:45- Gosh I love my Saturday mornings. Sipping my coffee and got the antique flip on TV and all is quiet. LOVE my morning with nothing PRESSING ya know!
You trip sounds like fun. Do you have a house you rented? Are you beach front? Is this a shopping trip or beach trip? How fun!!!! I love trips to look forward to. I think we all need SOMETHING to break up the day to day!
Eggs- YES! I love eggs. Such an underestimated food! Just plain up scrambled with maybe anything, mushrooms, butter, bacon, or as is- add a drop of hot sauce and it really hits the spot!!!!
I love to made deviled eggs in the fridge (omg the smell!!!- hahah)
but they are fun to eat and really takes the edge off hunger! I make mine super simple.
Boil eggs-
filling: mayo/ mustard/ garlic power, salt, couple drops of hot sauce
top with smoked paprika - seal in AIRTIGHT container
BLUE-- Hoping you feel better EVERYDAY- thanks for checking in!
-----------------------------------------------------
Oh- couple things I forgot.
Lori - I agree about not weighing everyday!!!!
BLUE - had to PRY the scales from my feet last year. It is a tool only.
I would weigh maybe one- twice tops a week. The up sound in fluid weight makes us crazy!
NIC- yes we have Meals on Wheels on here and sign most of my patient s up with it right away. I also sign them up with CCSP which is a program here that sends a personal aide out to assist with house keeping, cooking, errands, whatever. Most of my patients LOVE that. It is a state program. It takes about 6 weeks to get on, but once they are in they are in!
see I had more to say. I think of stuff as I am typing!
I stopped at the meat store on my way home last night. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my butcher store. It is a small shop WELL known in Duluth. It is always busy! FRESH cuts of meat!!!! They also have the best fish, not farmed- plus not from Asia.
I got a mess of wings and drummets for the air fryer last night! (Lori's favorite!) HA
I have also bought a pound of fresh arctic salmon, it isn't sockeye, I don't like that. It is fresh arctic salmon- beautiful cut of fish, a huge seasoned T-bone 1.5 inches thick, 2 handmade sausage links
So I have fish, steak, sausage- I also bought stuffed mushrooms, asparagus, and fresh romaine, and a huge steak house tomato- farm grown. You can so tell the difference between grocery tomatoes and a farm fresh tomato. So basically 5 KETO meals for 58.00. One night will be left overs I will add with eggs.
Like steak and eggs, sausage and eggs! All good. So I have 4 dinners covered .
Last night was my wing dinner. I was not in the mood for sides, just give me wings. Made them in my air fryer, a TAD of BBQ sauce and then ranch dressing for dipping! 2 glasses of wine and that was it.
I came in around 900 calories/ 8 carbs
For me that was great. One day at a time.
Today is salmon and asparagus/ Tomorrow is steak and salad. DONE
I stall have 2 charts to finish. My eyes got tired last night. So yes I dragged work into my Saturday. I will put a 3 hour limit on it today and then close my work computer.
Today is my cleaning, bathrooms, laundry, bill paying day. It continues to be hotter than Hades here. OVER IT.
This weekend is a R&R - next weekend is going to be crazy busy. The family is all coming in for the 4 year old birthday! Cousins and all!!!! It will be great to see "my boy". He called me last night. That kid melts my heart.
I answered the phone, thinking it was the DD. But this sweet voice was asking for his GIGI!! I told him I would see him soon! I also told him if I was there I would be tickling his belly which just made him laugh all over. SWEET surprise.
Check in later....... have a good one all
