I'm here everyone. Sorry I missed posting for almost two days. I missed you all! At lease I could see somewhat of what you were doing looking at MFP on my phone.
I felt like I stuck to my food range really well these past couple of days but I missed my workouts and I'm mad
at myself for not taking the time for me that I know I need to take.
Annie: Sorry that I had you your and Ceejay's job confused. I take it you work in an office with a lot of females? I am assuming that because of all the things you are saying is happening and how they are acting. I don't know why but female workers can be so mean to each other. I hate that drama.
Michelle: You are a trooper for getting through the work week with all that sickness happening. Please just rest this weekend!
You asked what I did because I'm working so much. I work for Procter and Gamble and I'm an Senior Administrative Assistant. I support a Global Director and Associate Director. Usually SAA's in our company only support a Director.
I was supporting an AD and our Director was in the UK and I was her support when she was in the US once a month. I worked with her Admin in the UK the rest of the time but I didn't have to take care of her daily schedule and things.
That Director retired and we have a new Director located here. They asked me if I would support him as well as my AD and they gave me a nice raise to do so.
I am so lucky to work for that company (been there 7 years) but we are busy, busy, busy...isn't everyone? It's just that supporting a global Director means he has people and programs he is responsible for in Asia, the UK the EMEA countries as well and the USA and sometimes in order to get them what they need in a timely manner we have to work long hours that include late evenings and early mornings. Luckily we can do a lot of that from home. But sometimes it is just two much and that was this week. My AD had things going on that needed done at the same time as the Director. I LOVE my AD and she has my back and so I want to be sure I deliver what she needs as well.
Happy: Look at you taking that yoga class and driving a new vehicle!
You have a lot going on for someone who is retired.
It's ok to use the chair or yoga blocks for poses. You keep doing yoga and you will get stronger and more mobile and you will carry yourself in a beautiful way. I always think that when I see people who have practiced yoga for some time they just have a beautiful way in the way they stand and sit.
Laura: BOOOO for you BF for giving you a hard time. MEN! Sometimes I wonder why we bother with them!
I remember when I was going to get married and I told my grandmother who was 80 yrs old a the time and had been a widow since she was in her mid-sixties that I was going to get married. She was a devout church going woman but she sure surprised me with her reply! She asked me why I wanted to get married. I told her I loved him and that I didn't want to be alone and she said "why don't you just buy houses beside each other and visit!" She then told me that everyone should try marriage once. I was just shocked! But maybe she had a good idea about the "visiting". lol!
Shad: Your food on MFP does look very clean and nutritious. We American's don't usually do a good job of eating clean and eat a lot of processed food and so that is why we are deficit in so many vitamins and have to take supplements. At least it seems that way to me.
Good luck with organizing that family reunion! It can be a task. I organized mine for 6 years and then a couple years ago I said I would like someone else to do it...and well..that didn't happen. So, last year one of my cousins kept saying someone should. I told her, then she should. She said she didn't know how. I told her I would help her. Well...it quickly turned out I was doing it all again and she wasn't answering my emails or FB messages for help so I just stopped planning it. I love to see extended family but I shouldn't have to organize it all the time.
Ceejay: I so want my home office organized and cleaned! I keep it tidy but it's not the way I want it to be. I have plans to redo it this spring if the tax return allows for it. Turning my other spare bedroom into a workout room is my bigger priority.
I am concerned about this gut issue you have. It could be your gall bladder or it could be your appendix..they aren't in the exact same place for everyone. I wish I could call you and tell you to go to the ER and get it checked out and don't wait.
We are off to a birthday party this evening...out in the cold and the snow BRRRRRR. I am off work Monday (our US offices are closed) and I'm excited about that. DH has to work and a friend of mine and I are going to lunch at this this fun restaurant on Newport on the Levee call Thom + Chee (I think you can google it and check it out if you want) and then we are going to see the movie August, Osage County. We also have plans to stop at Kohols and JC Penny and maybe Hobby Lobby.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
