I’m so glad you’re taking a proactive stance on the “scale surprise.” It’s easy and understandable to get down about that sort of stuff. But I love that you are instead taking action!

So you’re going to a conference, eh? Question: How many conference meals do you think you’ll be having? (Conference meals = meals provided directly by the…[Read more]

Today is haircut and color day!!! YAY!!! I go with my former next-door neighbor and then we go to lunch!!!  We always have a great time and it is so much fun to catch up!!  I also have to take my dachshund to the vet for a laser treatment on her back this afternoon.  I plan to do my 15 minutes of walking this evening —  weather is perfect her…[Read more]

Basically a repeat of yesterday. Walking, liquids, cleaning out the house.

Update on my husband’s job situation – on Monday, he sent an application to another company that’s within the same company (if that makes sense). Basically does the same thing at a different location, but makes money instead of losing it. Then, yesterday morning, they…[Read more]

Aww, thanks.  Met my goals, and even washed dishes.  Today was a good day!

True fact: recipes cannot be copyrighted. So it’s not illegal to share a recipe you got from a book with someone else. Good form would be to share the recipe along with book information (title, author, and probably a link to the book). The one caveat is that you should never post a photocopy of a recipe book. If you share a recipe, you’d need to…[Read more]

Checking in early.
Breakfast- Shale
Lunch- Split Pea Soup, turkey sandwich
Dinner- Taco’s

I really didn’t get anything but some rest done. The rest was needed and I don’t feel bad about it at all. However now I’m tired and going to bed! Good night!

Does the author or the book have a website or Facebook page that they have publicly shared the recipe before? If you could find a link to it that would be awesome! other wise I bet @nikki-massie could chime in.

UPDATE, UPDATE!!

I just wanted to pass along that I did make the turkey and cannellini bean casserole tonight and I think I’m in LOVE!!! It reminded me of having a bowl of pasta with sausage, without the pasta!!! I’m not sure if I would be violating any copyright laws if I were to share the recipe with everyone (the recipe is from a book I…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!!!

It sure does and thank you @susan!!! Have missed you lately. Hope you’re feeling better!!!

You’re welcome!!

I’m a materials engineer/chemist/technical resource for rubber mixing for two cable plants – 1 I sit in and one in PA.

I try to take lunch and leave the premises. Eating in the office is healthier food-wise, but not mentally. I need to leave, and escape. Must happen.

I like the idea of hugging a tree, lol. But they already think I’m bat-crap…[Read more]
