Hey ladies!
NIC- What a whirlwind weekend you have for sure! I know you will be ready for quiet time come Monday!
Very cool on the RENN fest! I never looked at those as eating events! HAHAHAHAHAH
Glad the pup smells good now! HA
Lori- Urghhhhhhh We got fog this morning too! But I hear ya on DENSE fog. It can be very scary to drive through when you can't see in front of you! I have had to drive through it and it is white knuckles for sure! SAFE travels and take your time.
Glad you had a good time. You cracked me up with ONLY 1-2 miles!!!!!!! You say as this couch potato read it!
Heck 2 miles would be GOLDEN to me!
Meals- I just love simple crock pot meals. Goodness so many! I love some good pot roast, chicken breasts, soups, chili, sloppy Joe.
I have been "into" on pan sheet dinners. So simple. Roast everything in the oven 30 minutes done. Foil packet meals are easy and fun too. Put your veggies on the bottom- meat on top. into the foil/oven 18 minutes done, no clean up.
Oh....... yeah there would be NO dear or animal head in my house! Not happening. I actually dated a dude in Ohio that was an avid hunter, safari type. That was a deal breaker for me. (maybe it was the taxidermy bear on the top of his steps).
Trig- OMG I know that the schools are doing that "Sim" baby. It would get on my nerves. Thankfully my DD didn't have to take baby home she was except do to her weekend sports, but her friend did and they all complained! HAHA
It is GROSS here today, I bet it is there too. Chill day for sure. Does your BBQ joint put a rub/ or sauce on the ribs? Yum for SURE!!!!! So you get a slab- what does your family eat?!?!?hahahah
------------------------------------------------------------------
So- yesterday was travel day.
My son is having a bad reaction to the Moderna 2nd shot and is on his 11th day of headache and feeling dizzy. I don't know how much of that is "man cold" whine or real? KWIM? So I was dealing with endless calls yesterday as he explained for HOURS how he felt like crap.
I finally told him to have his dad come over. He ended up going to the ER to get a CT scan. I think it was more to reassure him he is fine. I get it. To be feeling like crap and single is scary. I know that, but I do think women tend to suck it up and keep going.
Anyway, woke up to some fog rolling in this morning too! The sun is trying to burn it off but it hasn't happened yet. I am still in pajama pants and sipping coffee. Perfect on a Sunday morning.
I was pretty excited about actually getting on those scales at my doctors office. I was finger crossing for 20 pounds but it was 18 down in 4 months. I would love another 20 in 4 months, and 20 after that!
IF is really helping with not mindless eating. That and pulling it back in on the spot if I splurge, which is rare. That being said it did take me almost a week to get back on track after going off the rails when my mom was here and wanted to eat out 2 days in a row. I got the "taste" for fried and carbs. However I FELT horrible. Bloat is not comfortable. Feels so good to be bloat free.
I am tracking my blood pressure. It is a bit on the higher side of normal. I am thinking I need to cut back on salt. I also think that my knee pain has also been a factor. I already take a very mild blood pressure medication. I am not ready to up the dose just yet. I will watch it. But again I think the salt is huge for me. I just CRAVE it! But hot sauce is a great switch. I love hot sauce too! So I think I can make the switch!
Laundry today. Will get my steps in today after the fog lifts. I am taking this as a true weekend! I have one week until I am back to the 9-5. I am ready, until something else comes along. I am going to modify my desk to become a standing desk so my knees don't get stiff.
Just this and that today- basically CHILL and maybe watch some football. I have some talipia and left over rotisserie chicken and slaw. ALL GOOD. Easy and light.
have a good one! Check in when you get home Lori!
