Diet Coaches/Buddies - Walk, CREDIT moi, included stopping for an errand at the drug store. Shopping on Monday is such a benefit of retired folks; I've dropped by on a weekend and waited in long lines. Walking was warm and dry. Had hardly arrived home when the rain started - I hadn't carried an umbrella or worn a jacket. We got over a half inch which makes the gardener happy.
Eating was on plan with no daytime snacks, CREDIT moi. On plan meant dinner ordered as takeout from the same Chinese restaurant where I had lunch with some friends a week ago. We ordered Beef and Broccoli and Vegetarian Delight. DW quickly make a pot or white rice while I drove to get the order and I made a green salad. We've made this same order for years; it continues to make us happy. Good news is that there's enough left over for at least another full meal. I'm not fond of tipping for takeout since there was no service and I'm already paying sit-down prices for paper bag food, but I'm feeling bad for the restaurants trying to stay in business during COVID, so I gave a full 20% just because they need the money.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Super Kudos for dealing like an adult with your SIL's feelings that aren't your fault or under your control. As always, I appreciate your perspective,
"This is my reminder that hunger is the only problem that food fixes."
maryann - Such fun places you're visiting. So good to hear that your DH is relaxing.
nationalparker – So good that your brother was able to go to the cemetery with you. I'm impressed that your
Florida State Highway A1A has its own website. A beautiful corner of the world.
Karen (karenrn) - Yep, this is my image of Arizona,
"The air was so beautifully clean and the skies are blue." Don't know how you get bluer skies than the rest of the country but it's nice to experience. Thanks for the perspective about my undesirable crab meat,
"Maybe it should have just gone in the garbage before wasting the mayo." I hadn't thought about how many other ingredients I wasted trying to save the crab.
curlyjax - LOL at
"then realized what I really wanted was the cheese." BTDT. Congrats for getting rid of some clutter.
MrsCalypso - Thanks for stopping by even though your head isn't really here.
MommaMeli - Kudos for
"best I ever ate at the lake" especially since you set out to do just that. Sending supportive thoughts as you deal with your 2 yo DD's nose.

1. Change your mindset.
Do you have the unhelpful deprivation mindset I described [earlier]? A typical sabotaging thought is, It's so unfair that I have to deprive myself.
