Good morning GG's,
A sunny day right now. Only supposed to get up in the 80's and sunny ~ some parts of the day with 50% chance of rain.
I was hoping for a sweet Maddie this morning, but she came in already in a grumpy, argumentative mood. “Loaded for bear” as my dad would say. Oh boy.
The weekend flew by too fast. I did get to have a nice visit with our son on Saturday. Sunday was grocery shopping ~ the list wasn't as long as sometimes, but I was kind of tired when we got back. I rearranged a couple areas where we store food, so things were easier to find ~ like items grouped together. DH had tried last time, but had them on the bottom shelf and it was hard to see and hard on the back to bend down and look and reach.
We had some moments of irritation with each other. I can't even remember what it was about now, but it boiled down to (what I felt was) that it is ok for him to be irritating to me, causing me stress, but because of his heart issues now, I should accept the irritation and have no say in anything so as to not cause him any stress. (His new reality he calls it.) Grrrrr. I'm not purposly disagreeable (though he might feel that way), but sometimes, there is only so much blah, blah, blah a person can take without reacting to it.
Sorry for the little rant.
Still sticking to the diet, but the weight loss has slowed down. For about a week now, the weight goes up and down the same couple pounds, and no further progress is made. Oh well. The foods are good and I don't go hungry. Maybe I don't pay attention and drink enough water. Also, I don't really get in any exercise other than the normal moving around.
We are thinking about doing a couple outings ~ it will be the first time doing that since being on this diet. After being informed a couple weeks back that we couldn't eat a McDonalds salad ~ because it was “processed food”, I am a little apprehensive about how this is going to turn out. I feel stressed just thinking about it. Plus, Maddie will be with us, and a couple of the past outings when she came with us, she had some not so fun moments.
Sorry for the negative vibes.
Hope you all have a good day.
ETA: Carol Sue ~ we were posting at the same time ~ will pray for your son-in-law and the job situation.
Maddie placed her precious friends (Zeebee and Violet) on the table by me.
