Love 4 yr olds who take charge.. lol Katy would fit right in with Cara & Travis!
Celeste ... my DS makes HB eggs on his insta pot....very good & so fast. The bed sounds great! Had to google cabinet bed....had not heard of that before.
Louise....that is s great site. Lots of info!
Becky...it may take several days for that cortisone to kick in for you. Hang in there!
Thought my FB conked out today....tried to sync it with no luck....then discovered it was at home & I was at school. Sheesh!
No kids tomorrow 😁 And my para has a meeting in another building...I get my room all to myself!! Do what I want, when I want, No meetings, lunch out....woohoo!

CONNIE this bed supposedly has a mattress made of memory foam and latex or something like that. The reviews were terrific as to how comfy. Those pull outs are torture devices, though I did enjoy having a sofa in my office. But pulled out the bed came to w/in half an inch of my desk, it was REALLY uncomfortable and only a double. We'll see how this one goes.
hahaha GREAT STEPH! I went out and had a Cobb this evening. I bet I do NOT want to know fat or calories. or hmmmmm maybe it was a chef salad b/c no bacon or bleu cheese or avocado... yeah... Chef's salad
BECKY the Alta and the dashboard.... first we couldn't get it to show up. Then it did. Then it didn't. Now it does. it's always fine on my phone but I would rather use my laptop b/c it's just easier for me to navigate.
And yes I can make HB eggs in the Instapot but it seemed easier (if not quicker) to use a pan since I wasn't doing very many. Maybe next time b/c gosh dang these are so good.
That's WEIRD b/c when I had the cortisone into my knee he said it was going to get worse before it got better and it might take up to 2 weeks before I noticed an improvement which was supposed to last for anywhere from months to a year. Well he was right about it getting worse. But it NEVER got better since arthritis wasn't the problem.
SANDY good luck to DS on the sale of his current home as well as the purchase of another. Exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.
I had a steak salad for lunch, a Chef's salad for dinner so I SHOULD be getting in plenty of fiber. But I'll still have a glassful of water w/ the Paleo "Raw" Fiber I bought. B/c my lower abdomen still hurts. I see the doctor for a regular check up tomorrow and I'll mention it. UGH.
I have to get ready for bed. I have to leave at 10 for the doctor's and of course I have to walk Petey, medicate him and get some food down him. He's getting a wee bit tired of me being gone much. He PEED on the carpet in Bob's room for "revenge". Or boredom. Or lonliness. I vote for all of the above. GOOD NIGHT GALS.

Tracked = went over (ugh....)
Water = not enough
exercise = did get my steps in, but no treadmill
Well, my students are going all stupid on each other. 2 HOURS and one may not get to play soccer & I told her I wasn't going to kick her off her team, but you just don't go around and threaten to beat someone's a$$...no matter how much you want too. That's the world she lives in and I really try to show them a different side of life, but my freakin' temper got the better of me today and I just ripped into a group of girls. So, b/c of all the drama today, I have to work late tomorrow night to get my desk/room cleaned & straitened b/c it's driving me crazy.
OK, ladies. TGIF...see what the other salad I have in the fridge for tomorrow and hope it's not like today. The jr bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's is only 13g of fat (high carb, but I didn't care). Hope everyone's feeling better. We have Monday off as a holiday, but I have 2 appts. Y'all have a great Friday!

Steph .... middle school drama.... that I won't miss next yr! I'm looking forward to getting my desk / room in order today. Good luck to you!
Woohoo .... -3 lbs / 12 sticks of butter this week! And with slightly more than a half-hearted effort on my part. So it's somewhat undeserved, but I am taking it & motivated to tighten up my efforts.
Plan to set the alarm on my phone today so I get up and move. Will do some stairs & laps in the halls to
Get my steps in.
Better get crack a lackin......have a great day!

Both of my dgds are going out of town this we. Both to sc, but different places.
I found several recipes cites I want to make on the diet doctor site. My favorite thing about his recipes is that you can click on the number of servings and it changes everything to the amounts you need.

STEPH even refined, well bred, civilized people can get to their last nerve and get angry.
ANGIE congrats on the loss. A good loss w/ half hearted effort kind of makes up for those times we all have when we have worked the plan like crazy and lost half a pound or maintain.
LOUISE I didn't realize about being able to alter serving numbers. I'll have to check it out.
I can't recall if someone on here shared it but there's a really good primal/Paleo site too and of course they're all low carb:
thefoodee.com
I have to leave in an hour for the doctor, so I need to wake Petey up for his walk and meds and some small bkfst so he doesn't have that empty tummy going on. I keep wanting to make coffee, but I need to be fasting so they can take blood. Later gators.

Celeste.....that is a good way to look at it!
Sandy....what a fun day! I saw a cute thing the other day.....it was a black canvas with multi-colored hand prints scattered on it. I think that would be so fun to do with all of the dgks .... maybe next summer. There is so many cute hand / footprint art ideas on Pinterest, too. Hope everything comes together for the Mark & Sintia with the home sales / purchase.
Louise...so much info on that site. Have you watched any of the video? Are you a "member"? I haven't done either.....though it looks likes videos only require an email...but I hate to put that out there any more than necessary b/c I can't keep up now with all that floods in.
It has been such a nice, peaceful day. I have cleaned my room, put up wintery decorations....we will probably have a blizzard next week....lol. I worked on my last online class, took walk / stair / march in my room breaks. Only about half an hr to go and I'm out of here. Wine tasting tonight.....will probably hit the grocery store before or after that. Need to pick up a gift for a baby shower that is tomorrow, too.
Time to do another lap / set of stairs.....my legs will complain tomorrow!

Yes, Angie, I have read and looked at a lot of the videos. I finally signed up yesterday. It just all makes so much sense. I bought stuff at the grocery to make two different recipes.
My my grocery store had boneless chuck roasts on sale bogo. So I bought two and had them cut them in half. My crockpot recipe calls for 2-2 1/2 pounds and these are perfect. Will be easy while I am recuperating.

SANDY let me know how the riced sweet potatoes are. I bought riced cauliflower b/c that's all that Kroger had. I'm giving it a 2nd try but I DID NOT like the Trader Joe brand. Too crunchy/al dente and I don't much like al Dente rice.
ANGIE I'm w/ you on my inbox being flooded w/ emails. Sometimes they kind of FORCE it on you or you can't get rid of the SUBSCRIBE box and it blocks the content. So every onece in a while I have to go and clear out my email subscriptions. In an average day I'd say 80-90% of my emails care crap.
LOUISE do you have any tentative timelines? For instance more or less when is surgery planned? Will you be a 23 hour person or a in hospital person? In a rehab facility and if so for how long or at home w/ a therapist and nurse coming into the home. That's kind of scary unless someone's going to be w/ you in the house.
I went to the doc. Just a quickie in and out and we discussed my getting off statins. She's a big believer in them for their anti-inflammatory properties but I just want to take fewer drugs. So we'll see if all my bacon and egg breakfasts and grass fed fatty beef has raised my cholesterol and if it's still OK I'm going to take myself off of them. I go back in 4 months so can always go back on if necessary.
My cabinet bed came today. Supposedly it included "white glove delivery and assembly" and they argued that the "assembly" part wasn't included. just taking out of the packaging, throwing it away and sweeping. I did talk them into doing 90% of it for me but Bob will have to crack out his drill and remove the handles which were screwed INTO the inside of the drawer for shipping. If I knew where his drill and bits were I'd do it myself as it should only take about 2 minutes or so. Otherwise I LOVE IT! I lay down on it and PETEY (who had been "helping" the delivery guys set it up), jumped up on it w/ me, arranged himself w/ his head on my chest and his body between my arm and my side and we both snoozed until my arm fell askeep. It is perhaps the most comfy mattress in the house. It came vacuum packaged and I thought OMG that's going to be thin as a yoga mat. But when they removed the plastic wrap... BLAMMO it expanded and it's GREAT. The best "extra" bed I've ever seen. The AMAZON reviews were stellar but I was still a bit skeptical. I've got it airing out b/c some of the reviews said it smelled like lacquer at first, and since I can't tell, i don't want to "gas" anyone out when they go to use it. Very happy w/ my purchase (thank goodness b/c it was kind of a lot of money and I hate buying something online that expensive and then it's not what I expected.)

Angie,Congrats on the loss.Maybe with all the extra steps this week it increased your metabolism.It doesn't work that way with me but we are all different.You,Suze and Connie can do the stairs for me.My knee said it's not doing them.
Louise,That was a good demindal on the meat.Have you scheduled your surgery yet?
Celeste,I don't blame you for wanting to get off statins esp if you don't have high cholesterol.I'm still on 1/2 tab at night but I don't take as many meds as I used to so not a big deal for me.I'm glad you and Petey like your cabinet bed.
We ate out for lunch today at a local diner.It was the first time I have ever ordered a vegetable plate.I had mashed sweet potatoes,cooked carrots and green beans(with bacon and onions).It was so good and filling.However with the sweet potatoes it will make today a high carb day but oh well.
