Good morning! I have 30 minutes left before noon so catchin up here a bit...I think I have all my work done for the moment!
Carole-well good to hear that lab tests are good and that you are probably down more in weight than you may have given yourself credit for!!!
Christine-we are expecting ice this weekend...no fun...please be careful if you have to drive in it!
Gabrielle-DD did not get the job, and she called like 3 times, so I'm not sure why she was surprised when she heard that they had hired someone else unfortunately. But she is still looking and hopefully she will find something soon!
Sue-you be careful out there too...it's a good day/week with food packed and activity planned.
Activity-I need to get busy with this...I always have this problem in the winter months.
ok I have been interrupted a couple of times but going to get this posted...I am not sure what to expect our of my Healing Damaged Emotions class but stepping out of my comfort zone to take it...the workbook is $10 so if I am not comfortable in the class I can always do it on my own. Same way with Dave Ramsey class but I do think getting in a group for that will be helpful. Try to BBL!!!

Hello everyone
Tonight they are calling for 1-4 inches of snow again. We are lucky that it only snow's a few hours and then freezes then it warms up and rains and melts the rest of the state is really snowed in. My friend in Prineville OR has about 4 foot of snow and there snow drifts and they can't get out all. They are literally snowed in. That would drive me nuts to be home bound with no way out.
I did a fly by today and I'm down 1.6 from this weekend and doing good on my DD, I'm trying to pre plan that way if it does snow and we have to stay home then I'll have plenty of groceries on hand and won't have to walk to the store for anything. Pot roast tomorrow night and tonight sausage tortellini soup for 6 SP for a cup.

Carole great check up by the way. Yes I like to binge watch a lot of Net Flicks in the winter it makes up for how busy I am in the Spring/Summer. With the way this winter is going I feel like I live back east where you all live. Sue "House of Cards" is a show that you can watch on Netflicks, it has Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright in it and it's all about politics and being a congressman on the hill. It will get you hooked if you start watching it. That's what I do at night when I'm all done with dinner and relaxing, I'm Hooked Gabrielle you have so much rain down your way are you guys flooding at all. I saw that the drive through tree fell over on the news, it's sad cause that was like and icon. I didn't know it was over 1000 years old? Hope your stating nice and warm.

Christine I hope you get the opportunity to slow down at least a little bit. Are the girls back at school yet? Sounds like it just keeps snowing where your at. We had training last week for a new program for our dispatch and our trainer flew out from Ohio to teach us about their program. I think he was ready to go home, he probably wasn't to impressed with Salem in the winter. Not much to do.
Hi Lisa how's the baby doing?
Hi Shelly are you doing OK?
OK need to get back to work have a great day
Jenny

Evening all...oh my is it cold out there!! Definitely feels like snow is coming...and it will, but then in a matter of a couple hours, the temps will rise, it will be all rain then the by Thursday it will be almost 60°...two days after that it's a high of 29°!
Lisa...how did DS like his 1st day??
Thanks for getting us started today Carole...you are so right, we all just need to TAKE the time, no excuses! Why should taking time to exercise, track, journal, plan, etc be any less important than all the other things in our lives! Remember all...we are the only one that can take care of us!!! If we don't do it, no one does!! TAKE THE TIME!!
Carole...really extra lean beef is not much worse than ground turkey!! When you compare 4 oz of turkey and 93% lean beef...it's the same calories 170, same fat 8, beef has more protein than turkey 23 vs 21, turkey has more sodium than beef 80 vs 75....really it's pretty much a wash!! Love your outlook on goal...you will be there by retirement at 10#/year...but think of the fact your labwork is great...you are definitely doing lots of things right and the weight will come off in time!!

Christine...hope the weather doesn't ruin movie night with the girls!! We had given Sarah's gang 5 movie tickets for Christmas...we can order discount tickets at work...$6 instead of $8.50 or $9....I usually order 10 each year and give Sarah's gang a "movie night"! This year they saw "Sing"...the boys loved it and even the grown-ups thought it was good!!! Always nice when a movie appeals to the entire family!
Ah yes Carole...I find it hard to get out of the hot tub after my swim...I could sit there for hours but know it's really not good for me!! Can't wait until we have the $$ to do the addition and I get my own hot tub at home!! Glad you didn't overdo it at work yesterday...having been down for the count for 5 days at that point, you're going to fade early!!! Hopefully each day will get better! Be glad you missed the cough...Hannah said it was miserable and I know a lot at work are still complaining about "the cough that just won't go away"!!
I lost one of my red dots the other day Carole...I was in a meeting that started at 10:00, it's usually only 45 minutes so I have time to get those steps in but this time it went over until 11:15 so I missed my 10 o'clock dot....I was bummed! I'm usually 9 for 9 when I'm at work!
For me Carole...tracking in the morning is my way of "taking time"...I get up, put the coffee on, get my shower, pack my lunch and track it BEFORE I get on the computer to do anything else!!
Had to laugh at your nicely organized fridge with all your portions packed and stacked neatly! I always dream of doing that, but usually my stuff is just in one bowl and I have to portion it out in the morning, or the night before if I'm motivated!
I need gas too....will get it tomorrow or Thursday when it's a bit warmer...seems every gas station the pumps are in a "wind tunnel" and I freeze pumping gas...figure I can wait a day or two so I don't freeze while pumping!! I have to get it before we head to Dutch Apple on Friday or we won't make it there and home!

Christine...we all have times we struggle...I'm sure your surgery & rehab with all it's limitations helps to play a part in that!! Sounds like a good idea to move the bike once the girls head back to school. I like the commitment to keeping your work days a bit shorter....I know that it's sometimes hard to do, but trying to at least strive for that is a good thing, then you can get home and make a nice dinner before it gets too late and you can enjoy a few minutes of sunshine!! NO WALKING Colby now....you or Colby do NOT need to slip and fall on the ice right now!!
Gabrielle...I was watching the rain totals out there this morning on the TODAY show...they were all 150% or higher....as dry as you have been, all this rain at one time is just not helping the drought conditions...so frustrating!! Thankful there have been no fatalities!! Hopefully staying in bed helped kick that persistent headache!
Makes me laugh that the humidifier bothers DH but he doesn't hear the smoke detector when it beeps for a low battery!!
Thanks for the "binge watching" suggestions...a couple other people have made suggestions and I have started a list to check out on Netflix! If you think of anymore...keep them coming! I'll keep the list and I know I'll have lots of time to check them out!
Gabrielle...did you check out the weather forecast for the marathon yet??? Hope it's not torrential rains still...that would be miserable! You know, maybe a later start to DS's day will be a good thing for him! Hopefully he will take advantage of the opportunity and make this work!! Yes, all moms worry...heck, I still worry about my girls and they are moms too!!!
Lisa...glad you had a productive morning and got time to pop in and visit!! Bummer DD didn't get the job but if she keeps putting herself out there, something will fall into place! Will be anxious to hear how your "Healing Damaged Emotions" class goes...I know for me damaged emotions were and sometimes still are the reasons for my eating/food issues....What is the Dave Ramsay class?? I thought they were one in the same???

Jenny...you seem to be getting much more snow than me this year...so far we've gotten about 1-2" all winter! YAY for the great fly-by!!! Good job to plan just in case of a big snow that keeps you in the house for a bit...that's why I went to the store Sunday...I didn't want to venture out in the miserable weather, but I wanted to be stocked up and ready for being home bound if we were. I added "House of Cards" to my "binge list"!! It sounds like something I would like!
DH just got home...need to order him some weights...he's been going PT for his shoulder, wrist and hip...he keeps saying "it's hell getting old"!!! I think his biggest problem is he's just not flexible...at ALL!!!
Back when I can...want to hit the sack early!!

Jenny-Kennedy is doing great!
Sue-I think my Damaged Emotions class will be good. 8 of us and many are hurting. One lady did mention emotional eating. Dave Ramsey is a separate class. It is finances from a biblical perspective.
I made a roast in new slow cooker. Have some left for tomorrow.
OK I need to pay bills, arg!!!

Good evening....looks like I have a lot to catch up on. Come home from work and just hadn't had any energy all day yesterday and I even rescheduled my WO with trainer and when I was finally able to come Home I started my beans and ham in the pressure cooker and fell asleep on the couch. Woke up and ate a bowl and went to bed. Bet I got 10-11 hrs sleep last night. Carole thanks for getting us going yesterday. I have been forgetting to track. Need to focus on what is important. Looks like you had your day planned out pretty good yesterday. Oh Carole no reason to feel guilty. How many times do you do most of the prep. I am sure she didn't mind especially since you wasn't feeling good. It got up in the high 50º or low 60º today. Suppose to be in the 70º tomorrow. Then comes the big freeze. Worried about getting to work on nothing but ice. I would rate it be snow. Glad you was able to open the shades so you can utilize the sun Jo I slept terrible Sunday night too. I think that is part of why I was so tired yesterday. Sorry your lack of sleep was due to DS playing video games Sue did you get back on track yesterday. Glad you was planning on a swim yesterday. Lisa how was DS new job? Hope all went well. Gabrielle how was spin class? Yep I bet spin would make your legs pretty tired. Are you running a full marathon this weekend? Good luck. Jenny hope you got caught up on "House Of Cards". Sounds like your weather will be the one that moves over this direction. We are suppose to be getting really cold and have freezing rain this weekend.

Sue I'm not sure how many cups the soup would make but I would guess that is probably pretty close. I made it and then ended up going to bed without eating any of it. Maybe I will measure it out and see what I get. When I made my I added another can of the tomatoes, and beans so I am sure mine made a little bit more.
Sue we carry the Ole brand tortilla at our store. The mexican restaurant uses them for his corn tortilla items. They sell pretty good to our other customers too. When I track I do it as I eat or at the end of the day. I know tracking at the end of the day is not good at all. To late to adjust anything if I wait till the end of the day.

Carole today I WO with trainer, I have ate pretty sensible but not tracked. I have NOT made a plan yet again....I know this is the root of my problems. I do stay mindful of what I eat but can't see all the macro's if I don't track so could be way off on things.
I love taco's. Yes they aren't to bad to eat. Just can't have a lot of cheese or sour cream as that would add to the calorie and fats. Sorry you are still under the weather. Glad you are over halfway through it. Glad your blood work is all good. And yeah for being down from last year. Good job!!!
Christine your weather sounds horrible. Hope it warms up your way soon and hope your not getting any of our bad weather from the weekend.
Carole hope you enjoyed the sun. Don't blame you for letting Brian pump your gas. Especially with the cold yucky weather. hope you was able to get stuff done at work today. Glad you are getting all of your health checks out of the way early.
Christine wish you wasn't working such long hours. I have been struggling with wanting sweets the last few days. Not sure what is going on there. Hope we can both get focused and for me make better choices when temptation hits me. Sorry you didn't get home until late Friday.
Sue ugh to all this weather. Around here it just can't seem to make up it's mind what it wants to do. Hope you will be able to make it to the pool the next couple of days. Sorry you had to miss today's swim. I think I will be up tomorrow again. I have been up all week.

Gabrielle you have had so much rain lately. I heard where one of the old Sequoia trees fell over. What a shame. Hope you was able to make it to work safely and there wasn't to many ppl that slid off the rads today.
Lisa hope you don't get to much ice this weekend. They can't make up their mind exactly where the worst is going to be. How is the class going?
Jenny how much snow did you guys end up with. Glad you don't have what your friend has. With the little bit you have you can still get around.
Sue i hate my fridge. It is a side by side and even when I clean it out it seems like I still don't have room for much. I rally want a french door w/ freezer on bottom. I need gas too. i will probably get it Thursday right before the weather moves in.
Since I have satellite internet I don't watch netfix. Uses to much data and isn't fast enough.
Lisa glad you are looking forward to your class. Keep us informed on how it goes.
Going to finish watching "For the Love of the Game" and then head to bed. Such a great movie with Kevin Costner. Will check in tomorrow
