TGIF!!!!!!!!! I am so ready for Friday!!!!!
Lori- I have been taking Melatonin for years. Honestly I think they put that disclaimer in everything. They don't want people to get "hooked" on anything. Truly melatonin is a natural body helper. There is NO issue. Sometimes the bodies sleepy chemistry needs a little help as we age.
That being said you have to know your own body. I know NIC said she took a melatonin and was sleepy for a day after. I take 10 mg almost every night with no issues at all. So I think knowing your body.
Super cool you are going to get a few pro tips! ENJOY IT!!! plus you get to see sis- BOOM score!
So not worried about you gaining after a eating day. Truly I think you are maintaining and your body likes where you are!
TRIG- You had me cracking up over "Are you a Mountain Woman"? Ok when I say you are a country/farm gal is way different.
Ever see the movie Sling Blade? Now THEM IS MOUNTAIN ..........you know what I am taking about.....
I know that Keto- is so right for me. I feel so much better on it. But dang sometimes I do wish I could add that ever thorn dairy into the mix. It makes Keto/ LC much more doable ya know.
I don't eat it anymore- but that hasn't stopping me from THINKING about it.
I think it is cold everywhere! I am over turning on my heat!!!!!!!
What is next on the RV road Trip plan?
Nic- awhhhhhh...... I could just see you with the kiddo's playing near your ankles! Very cool you get to see your work in a great light!!!! Very happy to hear that family is thriving!
I hear ya the April challenge between you and DD. I think that your DD is young enough that once she loses what she wants it might be easier to keep off. I have found that people our age DO have it harder!!!!!
Not impossible- just harder!
I also know when you put your mind to something you get it done. It is just a matter of when you are ready.
How are things going in your house lately? Any updates on empty nesting?
Hiya Blue!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoying my coffee and trying to slow my roll. I was pretty uptight yesterday. My day just seemed to be one road block after another.
You know with a nursing shortage one would think that the nursing license would be universal for all states as the test is universal! But Noooooooooooooo Some states have decided to make it as difficult as possible to get reciprocity. Finger printing, extra CEU's, background checks, school transcripts, the list is overwhelming and of course........... NOBODY AROUND to take a call.
Honestly my manager is about useless. She popped on yesterday to see where I was and made some snide comment I have not made any process. She sent the email and said - just get it done. While offering no assistance.
She doesn't have to have all these licenses to manage- and she doesn't. Anyway, I foresee me having to get most of all this on MY TIME.
I guess I got salty yesterday because she sent out an invite to a web to watch her dance on the treadmill. I was buried in work and NEW and trying to find my way.
Ok- you think I am kidding? Oh NO- she hosts a "get your groove on/dance party every Thursday. She sees it as moral boosting for those stuck at home. I was not a happy camper watching her in work out clothes as I am struggling to get through my "requests". Ok..... I need to put on some gratitude........new attitude.......it pays my rent.
Yesterday was a great eating day. I really love those Angus frozen pre-made burgers. They cook up way better than just ground beef. Not sure why but they do. So I had those and green beans and called it a day.
Not much else. I need to find a vet for Bella. I think she has something- Just not her perky self. I thought she had a UTI....I pushed fluid and it cleared up. She is just outta sorts too! I would like to just make sure she is ok.
Ok- time for more coffee and then th e8 hour clock begins! But I know I will be working on this crap this weekend- in-between everything else going on. LOTS of moving pieces literally.
CLEAN EATS TODAY. Salmon, salad/kale, 2 glasses Chardonnay. I should clock in under 20 total carbs. Right where I want to be.
later....
