maybe I am too strict about my cat coming back inside.
I amone of those with a nature belief... my "goddess" is freya.
well TMI I went outside, into a totally wilderness garden where I saw her twice, she would meow at me but not run to me (and I could not plow myself in until... well she was gone) maybe she just wants to live outside.
the heck I asm drunk as a skunk and absolutely not proud of me today.
HEY! typing english is so much easier than german....
le sigh. lotsa failsa drunksa patpat. sorry gals (and ian)
oh... no right thread. yeah you know we drunks are weid sometimes... I am sure I will regret this tomorrow, but you gals (and Ian) might find it funny somehow....
edith says: patpat hasnt had enough alcohol to gain weight, but she has not eaten anything this day, so .... that is not a good deal. damn the cat!
edith also says: you gals have to talk to patpat about that alcohol thing and help her to not have that stuff again....
edith says to patpat: yo have to deal with that yourself! the gals and ian can type what they want, it is your problem!!!!
patpat says to edith: heck, thats right!
ugh, I hate friday nights, especially when my cat is missing and meows out there, I go there frightened like heck, and she wont come. and you have not seen that garden. you feel lost in a forest "blair witch" style at DAYLIGHT. whatever.
PPS: some nice forum person decided that I may post links even before my 20 days on forums is up. thanks to the nice person that recognized me as a real poster
Today was a decent day. I went over my calories by 14 which was good with all the sweet stuff that I'm craving. It is also really hot, so I've been walking inside and doing videos. Today was a 2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Diana - that hit and run sounds so scary. Good for you for tracking down that other car. I understand how hard it must have been to leave that poor guy. Hope he heals quickly.
Sorry to hear about your hit and run incident Diana. You did the right thing so well done. It's not easy to do. But you did the right thing. Know that.
And, on a lighter note, you are (mostly!) all always welcome round my house for a party. Especially you, Diana, any time!
Dakota, I did get some chores done. I posted a few things for my kids to my wife that they needed and left here - I am going to try to do that every week now. And threw out some old stuff that was just too full of memories. Old notepads. Kids' paints. Kids' books. Kids' diapers. Ouch.
Sydney, I am with you on this. My wife has left me with our two boys. It was an amicable split (no custody issues etc.) but still a very challenging time. My thoughts are with you. It's tough. I know. Real tough. Just look after you. Eat well. Keep exercising. Keep breathing. Keep socialising with other people.
PatPat, drinking for me does not affect my weightloss. Drinking and eating does. So I choose to drink a lot, but not eat cr@p (or anything) while doing so. Makes a big difference. Cheers!
Anyway, today my weight is again unchanged at 170.2lbs. Breakfast was anchovies, smoked oysters and oats. Lunch was my usual with salmon, mussels and crab cake.
Exercise was 50 minutes weight training and a rest day from running.
Diana, good job on the witness report! You might need a sleep aid tonight after all that.
Patpat, I'll toast one with you. I had a weak moment and agreed to share a blender with hubby. I guess today is going to be a higher cal day but I'm going to fast Mondays and Tuesdays for a bit to get things moving again.
I'm craving a weekend away so bad! But I only have every other weekend off from work and hubby has a work thing this weekend, my off weekend. Ugh!
IanG, I'm sorry you're going through this too. It sucks! I never thought Peter and I would end up this way. It's gotten so nasty...he swears he's going to keep August from me. I don't think that will happen, but I'm scared it might.
I went golfing with my sister today to de-stress and we stayed to eat. I had a raw veggie salad and a veggie sandwich on light rye and a bottle of water.
Diana good job! You absolutely did the exact right thing
dinner was FAB! I couldn't finish my salad (ate all the chicken out of it though), which is odd because I usually eat it all. BUT, DH and I split a slice of S'mores Galore Cheesecake I'm in for it tomorrow! Thankfully, we are going for a 25 mile ride tomorrow morning - early so that we don't get stuck riding in the heat. It was hot and muggy today, which is not normal for So Cal.
Hi I have not posted here in a while. it may have been 2 days. But that feels like a lot considering how much is said here.
First, Diana, what a harrowing time you had. You did such a good thing. Even though it was difficult. I hope you have good soothing support people where you are. People who can help you with the trauma that you expereinced. I can only imagine how shaken up I would have been. Changing subject, yes, I do wish you lived near me. I would surely enjoy working on cardio machines with you. Last but not least, I am glad you are feeling so much better about Cody.
PatPat, glad your kitty is safe. I know its hard to see him or her outside and not willing to come in. maybe kitty just is wanting to commune with nature.
DakotaTrace, aweome re: the weight loss. congratulations and way to go !!
Syckgirlsfv, I do not kow what a MFP is. But you must be doing something right if you are losing. Maybe you know whats right for you.
Novangel, i am sorry your ex was vile to you. You deserve so much better than that
Hi Sydney. Nice to meet you. I am sorry you are going through such a rough time right now. Dissolutions of marriage is always so painful, at best. And this of course sounds horrible for you and August. Great name, by the way. I love the movie August Rush
RadioJane nice to meet you
Hi daydreamangel. Nice to meet you
CoolMom, I am glad you got to relax with a drink with husband. Thats great.
Hi Opheliag. Good to meet you. Sounds like you are doing great with food and exercise.
Today was someones birthday I wrapped her gifts and went to bring them to her. But she said she was skyping and did not want me to go there. So I bought some pickling cucumbers and returned a library book. Then I went home and watered the garden. I had lunch. Today I was good with the food. Except of course.... well need I say?
approx calories for the cocoa with almond milk is 350
lemon protein frozen stuff 150
chicken sausages for both meals 440
salad for both meals 200 total calories 1140
Reading the book Brain over binge. Hoping i can get a handle on the urges. I dont binge or anything. But left to my own devices I would go back to eating a lot. Feels like I cant relax or this thing will get the better of me.
For decades I said that when I die the first thing I want past those pearly gates ( or whatever there is) is a buffet table. I have even placed my orders for what I want on the buffet table. I am very resolute about this. It is what I require
Good morning all, I see I have lots to catch up on! We had a busy day yesterday, DH had follow up that went well from his deviated septum surgery in Dec, then went to guitar store and traded in one he wasn't using for a lovely sounding one he loves. Then we went to a nice state park in NY, hiked for a few hours up and down around this glen with waterfalls, Robert Treman SP. Then 5 guys...only up .9 today, and feeling great from the hike, it's so great not feeling destroyed after doing something really challenging like that.
Oh yeah, I was in the garden too, picked some zucchini, cucumbers, need to pick peas...
Sorry to hear about your accident Diana, have to go back and get the details! Glad to hear you weren't in the accident, you did a great thing getting that info, I feel bad for the moped guy, wow.
PatPat glad you got to see your cat! Even if it didn't work out like you wanted, best of luck getting her back inside.
Thank you very much for all the support. I have always been the recipient of kindness and support from my check-ins. I truly appreciate it.
I was able to sleep in this morning! DH had to go to the farm early, he said he was going to get up at 4:30. I slept in the other room. I had bought some extra heavy duty ear plugs to try out. I didn't wake until 8:30 and I think I was in bed around 11 PM. I normally wake while he is up moving around, even with ear plugs. Then I rarely sleep that late in the first place. I think the new type of ear plugs helped.
Last night I added on:
Tamilee Webb Total Body Stretch Standing
Start Your Engines from Fat Free Yoga
Started at 4am, after going to sleep at around 2 because young August decided he wanted to play. Laughed everytime I suggested bed. Cheeky little monkey, he is. 4am I wake up to August standing above me, his face just millimetres from mine. He's cute and all, but oh my word I about had a heart attack.
So he got in bed with me, where he kicked and squirmed until I finally got up at 6 because I couldn't take it anymore! That cheeky monkey then slept until 11am! He's in a grand mood now, for which I'm glad, as tomorrow morning he's got three appointments back to back. Poor guy! Speech, then his paediatrician, then the cardiologist (nothing wrong, just annual checkup). He has speech every Monday, so I really don't know what I was thinking when I booked both of the other two on the same day.
Anyway I puttered around and went to put laundry in the washing machine, only to discover I'd put a load in I think on Friday and forgotten it. Oh goodness the smell. So I washed that load again (twice).
I had a cinnamon bun for breakfast, strawberries and yoghurt for lunch, and I'm thinking we will have grilled salmon and salad for tea. I did have a most productive morning while my boy slept. He looks like such an angel when he's sleeping. He's all full of energy now, so maybe we will go to an oval for a while. Get some exercise!
Thanks flower123! I love his name, too. It really suits him. He's such a little impish guy. His dad really wanted to call him Hamish, but I've been set on August since I was a wee girl!

Whew! Still 169.8 after last night's splurge. Hubby got the okay from his neuro to partake in alcohol occasionally with his seizure med so we had a yummy drink. The drink is very low cal but the buzz lets my munchy guard down. Not good!
Plan today-
Coffee with sweetened condensed milk
Sandwich
Bbq at my sister's
I'm in for it tomorrow! Thankfully, we are going for a 25 mile ride tomorrow morning - early so that we don't get stuck riding in the heat. It was hot and muggy today, which is not normal for So Cal.
