Good Tue morning!
Trig- - GIRRRRRRRRL you do not need to preach to the choir about tasting a carb and going off the deep end. I too am not one to be able to do a bite of this or that. NO. If I get that first bite- it is over. I will eat it until it is gone.
That is why I can't have certain things around. If I get around those triggers I have to "run away Renee". I just can't.
The good news I have very FEW triggers. However, the ones I have are "bad boys", Pizza, Potatoes, and pasta. I'm a savory person.
The best way to overcome these is to just not buy them or have them.
We all have a choice every day how we will eat and treat our bodies.
Trig- I know that it is a bit harder for you as you are still cooking food for the family and do have to have "junk, see junk, smell junk" That would be hard.
But I have seen you - set your mind to the goal and not waver. You played with trying a few tweaks here and there and it didn't work. Why, because there are a few of us that are so carb senitive we can't handle it. I am in that pool with you.
I am very proud of the way you have "found" your path.Not only that- you are dropping the lbs like crazy!!!!! Not only that you have started an another thread where you are encouraging others who have similar needs.
Here we are all coming to LC our way- and became friends. You are running a true, hard core food thread. You keep doing what you are doing.
What is the Leslie walking tapes? Do you walk to a TV video, on a treadmill? March in place? Walk outside?
BLUE- -thank you for let us know what's up! Look at you thinking you were going to have relax time , only to be called back into your biggest project yet! I know you are going to LOVE the change in your pocket over this one. Ya know just when you wonder where some $$$ is going to come- you hit a windfall. You also get it at the perfect time of year- right before you prep to go see your son. Christmas time. I am very happy for you.
Remember the song: To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a
time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time….......
This is your time to plant and reap! - You're time to rest will come! Thought you would love a song to boot!!!!!!
NIC- When is your overnight gig? So your IL's are with you today. You will be busy for sure. It is sweet of you to assure their tradition goes soothly. However, I know it is not easy. You have your hands full today! HUGS and MORE hugs with you today!
LORI- - I am glad your BIL came through. Is he going to rehab? Do you have plans for Thanksgiving? Is your hubby gone or returned yet?
Between you and Trig- I can't keep them straight- HAHAHAH
I just think it would be easy peasy on a eating plan when you only have to worry about you.
So you also do most of your shopping on line as well!!!! MY kind of gal! It will be an Amazon Christmas for me as well!!!!
BRRRHHHH- did you get your run in?
Are you still getting your prep meals?
-------------------------------------------------------------
So my house guest is here for the afternoon.
As much as he drives me crazy- like you ladies, there is a sadness when he goes. It always takes me a few days to adjust, to the quietness.
But then I am good and back into life- but yes I do feel it when he goes. It gets to quiet. He has a large personality, it fills up the room.
Anyway- I have enough on my plate. After he goes this afternoon- I will have laundry.
I also need to do bills- URGHHHHHHHHH- Dip into saving at this point. (thank god it's there).
I also need to touch base with my agencies to see if there are any new leads. I would LOVE to hit up Florida for a few months.
Tomorrow is class I need to take to update my BLS- Basic life support - through American Heart.
So I have enough going on.
I have lost another pound!!!!!! Whoot- small whoot...... I don't want the bounce house taking that from me.
I am about to put a small turkey I picked up on sale. I am basting it with a butter paste with tyme, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and chives.
I will make a gravy from it and a SMALL side of green beans. - but not over cook it. I like juicy turkey. When it is done well it is really good. warms the entire house and smells so good.
Ok- time is short- back later! Have a good one!
