It’s a rainy, chilly day (mid-60’s) here in Upstate New York. My plan this morning was to get everything cut up for dinner and hit Planet Fitness to do the treadmill (when I got there I was going to ask a staff member how to use it). Well, I ended up standing way too long on my feet cutting up the veggies and chicken and maybe because of the…[Read more]

Actually, that’s a great idea! As I forgot to get milk when I went grocery shopping yesterday, I’m going to pick up some baby carrots and the such when I go get milk. I’d love to eat fruit but find it’s best if I have it at the end of a meal to avoid that special drop in blood sugar.

today I have 2 goals

1.not freak out at people.
2. find some organization.

I am in a “people are dumb” mood mostly thanks to work. When you have to sift through 10,000 tweets and 9,900 of them are wrong wrong wrong and bigoted and hateful it takes a toll on my spirit. also, I am in a “why can’t people just be nice? is it really that hard?”…[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!

Today I did laundry and then made my granddaughter a T-Shirt for her to wear to the football games to go with the marching band.  (her daddy is one of the high school band directors)  I then started going through a large tub of pictures and separating and labeling them for my two boys.   A huge undertaking but my goal is to try and have it fi…[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]

breathe. safely. good luck on the sanity. maybe mine and yours will vacation together.

Today’s goals are to shower, finish vacuuming the house, and actually go outside and fetch my mail.

Woo hoo!!!  Congratulations. That’s great news! It must feel great to have your independence back. And to have less pain. I’m so happy for you 😊

I’m a bit brain dead today and can’t think. So, I’ve run errands, including getting a new fitbit so I can put my old one out of my misery! Cleaning out the office (all week), finishing up the laundry. Walking (I know that this is a cross training day, but I’m a walker)

Breakfast was a Premier Protein water

Snack before walking into the grocery…[Read more]

I think I have finally narrowed in on why Tuesdays have so much potential but they end up sucking. It’s the Cleaning Lady. I can’t stand the cleaning lady. Im gonna have to learn how to stand the cleaning lady becuase she is not there for me but she adds SO much stress to my monday night/ tuesday morning.

Today I have already been up and to the…[Read more]
