For dinner tonight I made an indian dish of sorts.
Used a spinach sauce and ground beef and then added baby kale and a can of garbonzo beans and threw it in a crock pot to keep warm.
When we ate it , it was bland....so I need to come up with some spices to doctor it up next time.

The meet up went well.
There were 5 of us who met up at the park. 2 walked faster and got far ahead of the remaining 3 of us. We walked for about an hour I think I lost track of time and forgot to wear my fit bit:rolleyes:
Stephanie is really sweet.
After the walk she and I sat in the parking lot and talked.
It was really nice.
I hope we do it again soon.

I called my pdocs office to request 40mg doses of geodon to be called in to my pharmacy. I have one dose left for tomorrow morning. so hoping she will be in the office to get that ordered.

Good morning all!
144 this am!
The scale is cooperating!
Got up before the alarm today...did not sleep well got up at 2;30 to take an extra klonipin.
Going to the lab today to lave my thyroid checked tsh, last time it was elevated because I had been drinking so much so it has been 17 days since I had a drink so that should not interfere with the results. At least I hope not. I see my pdoc on tuesday.
I hope they take my health savings account debit card at the lab core site....we shall see.
After several calls into the pdocs office I managed to get my geodon from the pharmacy 40 mg twice a day. then this morning my lamictal is up 100mg. So that is 300mg total for the day.
After a week of this she wants to start decreasing the klonipin and add trazadone, 50 mg.
Am afraid to switch.
I have lots of klonipin if I need it.
She said the klonipin is adding to the depression.

I stayed up late trying to figure out our check book, it is a mess.
I can't seem to figure it out. very frustrating.:(

Have a great day all!
I have fire ant bites on my foot and toes...ouch!
I think I got them when I was at the park on tueday evening.

144lb, 17 days AF, and up before your alarm?
Sounds like a good start to the day!

I didn't know that alcohol intake effected tsh.

Have a good day Bizi!

yes kay, last december when I had my tsh ran it was 5.6 double what it should b.
So I researched high tsh and alcohol use it said that it was a reason for a high tsh ...I waited one month with out drinking and retested, back to normal.
heavy drinking can also give you high marks on your HDL the good cholesterol. Mine was 130 last time so even though my total cholesterol was 243 I was not concerned.

143.5 this am.
I have 2 fire ant bites on my foot/toe. These are all swollen and look like blisters. I want to pop them but know that I should not. I have not been to the gym all week but have had some good walks early in the week. I am using these ant bites as an excuse to not go to the gym, plus I have been getting home later and that means later dinner then too late to go to the gym since hubby is getting up earlier, earlier to bed. Got up late today alarm went off at 8 turned it off and then slept till 9. I don't have an appointment until 1pm so I knew that and took advantage of it to get some more sleep. I must have needed it.
I hope you all have a good weekend. I am getting my hair colored tomorrow. I have blackish hair right now and am going blond! I have tried to warn my friends and some clients.
If I hate it I can always go darker again.

Looking forward to a update on how you like the hair. Maybe a picture too.

I am going to Monticello for the IN*SOURCE Fundraiser tomorrow. Its one of the saddest days of the year. We are remembering the 4 special needs kids killed in a bus accident 7 years ago. I always feel honored to go to the fundraiser.

Because the parents of the children do this in honor of them. For the agency I work for. Because they want other families to get the help they need.

I have become good friends with a couple of the families. One of which was
a client before the accident.

You do such good work donna!

All Kinds of Changes!
 

Hi bizi! :D

I hope the change in hair color will be fun for you! :D

I used to do drastic changes, often, when my a close friend was a stylist.
We used to have lots of fun experimenting! My husband often did not recognize me, yet that also had it's benefits. ;)

I admire your progress with diet and your AF commitment.

All kinds of changes going on in your life!

Seems like you are doing lots of fun things in life!

Have an extra-fun weekend!

:hug:

thank you for your support dejavu!
I cheated tonight for dinner we ate pizza I had 4 pieces.
(2 pieces are now left over). I Could not help myself.
Had whole wheat crust, spicy tomato sauce, asiago cheese then spinach, sausage, carmelized onions, roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and jalepanos and more mozarella cheese on top, cooked in a very hot oven then topped with a pesto drizzle and fresh basil.
Delicious!
For lunch I had salmon, collards and sweet potato casserole. yum!
great food day!
I popped my ant bites and put ointment on them then covered with bandaides, they feel much better!
Going out to a bar for the first time not drinking. a surprise birthday gathering. Hubby insisted that I go.
That is at 8pm close by. My friend susan and paul are going, there should be quite a few going to be there.
tomorrow I take my car to firestone to see if my tire has a slow leak. lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks.
Then lunch at cris's po boys for chicken and sausage gumbo, like usual.

Then i go to the Aveda beauty school to get my hair colored. First it is called a color correction where they bleach my hair because it is basically black then color it a blond with caramel high lights.
We will see how it goes. and how much they will be able to do tomorrow.
change is scary but am ready for a change, am considering letting my gray hair come in, eventually just high lighting it.
anyway no plans for the rest of the weekend.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading my thread!

Firestone found a leak in the out edges of my tire so they could not repair it so I bought 2 new tires. Had lunch by myself of chicken and sausage gumbo and coleslaw. then headed to the beauty shop.
Well after 6 hours of processing bleaching/ coloring I have brownish/ blondish/ reddish/golden hair. Next month I will have them high light it. I guess this is a nice transition color softer then straight to blond. I posted a picture on face book if anyone wants to go see that pm me and I will send you the link.
met my friend susan for dinner after the salon visit and had pho chicken rice noodle soup. It was very good and fillingI had small bowl which was large.

Got up really early this morning after a few hours of sleep from a nite sweat, yuck, decided to just get up and have a cup of coffee and cruise on line a bit. Pretty quiet for this time of the morning. made it 20 days AF 20% of my challenge. Going rather easily this time.I am not going to weigh myself for several days, last time I ate pho soup I put on 5 pounds over night so much salt and msg!
