Good day (so far) OP and dinner is planned - have choices of three menus. Will depend on when I finally get home. Planned to run two errands and now want to add one more, quite a distance away, but it's not necessary, just wanted to try out some shoes that looked comfortable (and one pair that just looked good ... because the coupon is off TWO pair. umhmm). Suspect I can wait for tomorrow for that and if the coupon isn't valid then, it's a sign I don't need them now. Who prints a coupon without an exp date? I downloaded it and hope it's valid.
Was in a bit of a rush and washed my hair over the tub this morning, then put on conditioner. Realized there was still lather and re-rinsed, and reconditioned. What the heck? Why do I still hear bubbles? Re-rinsed again, and conditioned the ends. Worked the conditioner up and hands came away with more lather. Finally I looked and I was "conditioning" with the Dove bath wash, not conditioner. So rinse, lather, repeat was the name of the game this morning. I had to laugh because I was not quick on the draw there.
I think the line best to let sleeping dogs lie also means don't get on a scale twice. Take the first number (176) and don't get on again (176.6). I have got to rein in some control here. Today went well, though. Saved part of a large breakfast for lunch = credit.
Welcome back,
Millie! Good to see you here and that's pretty impressive for the month after Halloween with the leftover candy and Thanksgiving!
Nice work.
Bill - I used to hate planks. Not any more. Mainly because I don't do them any more. I like your reminder that they must be done. I'll aim to get down with them this evening. I used to try to say as much of the Gettysburg address as I could... I only know to the line "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task..." and I stop. Can you work in something to task your brain and not think about the torso pain?
(that could be a slogan - involve your brain/ignore the pain? well, i guess not...)
Karen - Good luck with the social activities. They sound fun! Is it still dark there in the mornings until late or without daylight savings time how does that work for you?
Maryann - I'm going to join you in nothing eaten at work from work. We have a lot of food that will be coming in, and I'll bake/cook some of it. Well, honestly if we have a potluck lunch, I'll eat from that, but that involves us getting organized and we might not. My biggest challenge - and it sounds silly - is that we receive HUGE bins of the delicious Chicago-style popcorn - not the cheapo tub of $5.99 cheese/cheddar/butter corn, but this is gourmet stuff. And we've received it since i first started here 15 years ago. I remember before, I'd measure out a one-cup serving and SAVOR it, piece by piece. And add 250 calories eaten in my food log. Now I learn that it's much less but I counted it and savored it. I might still do that but take the cup of it home and savor it when I'm not tossing it in my mouth while at work and not paying attention now. I need a plan. Thank you for letting me work that out here.
Joy - I hope you're feeling better - kudos to keep checking in while feeling not fully with it. Hope you're able to kick back and relax a bit.
CurlyJax - You, too, take care of yourself and hopefully you're on the mend as well. Glad to hear that your DH has been able to do some contract work. I think that's good for his self-esteem as well. It's such a difficult time with so many younger folks out there job hunting and willing to start at lower salaries so employers go that route. It makes us really think over DH looking to change jobs.
