I'm IN.
💞🐵🙈🐵🙉🐵🙊🐵💞
I finished the account analyses last night, including a cross-accounts analysis of spending in a few major categories. Too bad there really isn't a magic money fountain (or a printing press in the back room).
We MUST get some groceries for us today; our cupboards are pretty bare. And we still haven't celebrated my birthday; that may be a lost cause this year.
Coffee... ☕☕☕... hot now, iced later...

Be well! Have a healthy-eating day, all!

Good morning. The 2 grands are still asleep so I have time for my coffee and a quick post. I remember when these 2 grands were toddlers and would wake by 6 a.m. Now that they are 11 & 13, they've started sleeping late. We'll have breakfast together when they wake up. It's been fun to have them here and their parents got to spend some time together. Win-win for everyone!
We had a little rain yesterday from Hurricane Hannah but nothing like what is happening in south Texas. The sun is out today and I'm thinking we may not get any more rain.
Have a lovely day, y'all!

Morning. I’ve been really slack in my own accountability. Restart number ? started this week and I’m surprised I’ve made it the whole week with tracking. It’s been a long time since I’ve tracked this many days in a row. 🥳
Stress is a bear as most of you know.
Husband finally came after being gone 5 weeks. He works out of town - got Covid - and well - some of you know how that goes - couldn’t come home.
From what we can tell - he’s going to have some lingering health issues from it. But he’s alive and he’s progressing well. God is most definitely good.
I spent all of 2019 in nursing school. Graduated in December. Got my license in March - LVN.
Started the transition program for RN in June. Dropped out last week. Funny how a pandemic will make you realize this is not the career path you want to take. 🤷🏻♀️
Son graduated high school in May. Starting online college soon. My daughter starts 8th grade. Online as well. The “new”normal we are living is strange at times to say the least.
All that to say - I gained any weight I had lost back plus some.
So when all else fails - start tracking again and make yourself accountable. You guys were always so helpful to me on my many weight loss journey - I’m making a conscious effort to be accountable by posting in here starting today. It takes a village and all that jazz lol.
Happy to be back on the regular. Have a great day all. ☕️☕️☕️

I'm in. Hi all! ((( MJ ))) It's a hot and sunny Sunday in my neck of the woods. linda72, Some of my most favorite memories from childhood were spending time with my grandparents. Glad you've been having fun. We're taking it easy around here today. I'm still nursing a few sore muscles from yesterday's yard and chore list. Chicken salad for lunch and leftovers for dinner. Hope everyone has a great day! ((( jeanie, ))) Hope DH continues to improve. Welcome back! borntexan, happy dance for Scooter! |

I went over my calorie allowance today, but not severely. If I had skipped the lousy Enlightened "Keto" butter pecan ice cream I would have been fine. I bought it not knowing that it was a low net carb ice cream. I thought it was a lowered calorie ice cream. Not at all. Though the net carbs were low, the calories were higher than regular butter pecan ice cream, but unlike the real stuff, it tasted and felt like chaulk in my mouth. I have decided to scrap it even though I have only eaten 1/4 of it. It was also expensive. My husband wouldn't like it. I am not usually an ice cream type. I do have a Halo Top low cal chocolate ice cream left. I'll keep that, I think.
I didn't feel well in the morning and early afternoon. My menu changed because of that. I did put a huge effort into dinner. For me, I made a half recipe of Lightened Chicken Divan (with broccoli) that I love and my husband hates. It was good and the serving was generous and only 325 calories. For my husband, I made calves liver with bacon and onions. He loved it! I also made liver dumplings for a soup I'll finish up tomorrow. They're OK. Maybe they'll be better in a soup. Obviously I am not the liver fan in the family.

Since I do low carb diet I actually love the butter pecan enlightened ice cream. I eat it sparingly though because it’s very high cal but I think it has a nice creamy texture. I bought the coffee and cream flavor as well and don’t like it as much. It tastes bland and not coffee enough.

Checking in late, but I am accountable for today. Everything has been tracked and portions measured. Hydrating has taken place emphasizing water. Exercises and cane walking has taken place as well. Smiling as I continue to aim for blue.
