Had a good lunch of left over hamburger and chard in veggie soup at sandras cafe which was very good, I hated to let those left overs go to waste so I put them in a tupperware container and put them on a cold pack in my cooler and saw an altzheimers client then went to sandras for lunch.
In the singles area, I ate and I spoke with a man, Ray who is a recent widower and he is very nice and talkative. We talked for over an hour, nice to have someone to talk to at lunch, since our lunch bunch broke up.
I only rarely get to see paula any more, same with Nikko.
After lunch I saw 3 more clients and got home early from work.
The witching hour...I survived and did not stop by fat pats, instead just went home and we had an early dinner of lemon pepper talapia cooked in coconut oil and a cup of veggie soup.
hubby cooked so I cleaned up.
I ran a few errands, took back the bio flex supplement because they were so big it hurt taking them plus I did not like the tast and did not feel that they helped.I did not have a receipt so had to buy something in the store for the store credit. I ended up buying the olay night cream, whip and very soothing going on tonight only on my fore head.
The frozen areas on my face are starting to darken up, she said it could take weeks for the whole process to work. I should have several dark spots removed by then.
I also went to bed bath and beyond to buy an oral B electric tooth brush.
then to the grocery store to get some stamps and steak seasoning for the pork chops for tomorrow nights dinner.
I ended up going to the gym a bit later than I wanted. Walked 3.5 miles on the tred mill so was happy about that, 10 minutes on the hydromassage bed which is a nice reward for walking. Came home to watch seinfeld and then terms of engagement which is very funny.
Filled up my pill container for the day and took my night meds. Checking the forums and will go to bed shortly. I don't have to get up early which I like and get up with out an alarm.
This has been a great day.

Holy crap that's a long day, and a lot to do!!! You must be exhausted this morning (whenever you get up)!

Good for you for getting to the gym and walking 3.5 miles after doing all of that... I'm sure you were doing a lot of walking when you were out, too

I just bought Corey a jar of Emu Oil Cream. He has bad arthritis, especially in his hands and back. It will be here tomorrow. I will let you know how it works out for him.

I hope you like your new Oral-B toothbrush. We love ours. It's still going after 10+ years.

am anxious to hear about the emu product.

The witching hour came and went with little difficulty.
This week Staying AF was much easier knowing
that I would allow myself to drink friday night at whole foods.
Will be mindful of my dinner choice while there as I am still dieting so I don't want to blow it.
I was back up to 183 last week and have come down to 179. I know this is probably water weight but I am a slave to the scale as I have said repeatedly.
I know that I have an addictive personality.
Food, alcohol, internet.....
extremes are my nature.
lunch today: Chicken salad with nuts and raisins and veganaise. and a side of cooked collard greens with onions.
Saw 3 more clients and was done earlier than normal so I changed shirts and grabbed a container of disinfection wipes/sheets and headed for the carport. Took a broom and swept the ceiling of cob webs. wiped down the ledges and 2 doors which were filthy!!! I even wiped down the tops of the big trash bin and the recycling one too.
It looks so much better and felt good to do some work.
Jeff cooked pork chops using montreal steak seasoning yum! with a side of mixed veggies(brocolli, cawliflower, carrots) and a cucumber tomato salad in a vinegrette from sandras health food cafe. And I had one olive stuffed with feta cheese.
It was delicious!
7pm what to do?
I could go to the gym tonight and walk on the tred mill they say we should do some activity every day. Maybe I could try a different machine? My neck is better and I have to watch my knees and hips as I have arthritis in all 3 areas.
And watch cooking competitions. and use the hydro bed as a reward.
Still having hot flashes but not as bad as before and not as often, am having one right now and that is why I mentioned it.
WEll I had better get moving as I don't want to waste the evening on this computer, trying to be mindful of this.

well elliptical 30 minutes that was hard to do

tred mill 5 incline 15 minutes easy

recumbent bicycle 15 minutes easy

no hydro bed wasn't up to it since I just did it last night.
bizi I went to planet fitness again:

Good job staying AF so easily yesterday! I'm glad that your plan for the week worked out so well!

Great job at the gym, too!!! You stepped out of your comfort zone, and had yourself quite a workout!
How are you feeling today?

I can't believe you got an Oral-B electric toothbrush for $27!!!
DON'T buy the heads at retail stores... they are MUCH cheaper on Amazon and eBay. I don't like the generics tho. They are not as good no matter what the reviews say.

The Blue Emu comes today. Corey can't wait to try it. He keeps pestering me about it lol. I will let you know what he thinks tomorrow, but I guess it can take several applications to really work. The one I bought has over 1,500 reviews and got almost 5 stars.

[bizi]

I hope the emu stuff works for coreys back...that is his problem area right?
Our meals come today sometime before 8pm...hoping they come earlier in the day so we can put them in the refrigerator. As we will be gone starting at 5pm for trivia tonight. I might not drink that much as the alcohol really disrupts the bodies ability to lose weight.

Back down to 178 this morning. I was up to 183 last week. I know it is water weight but am still happy with the scale.

And I have not gone to the bath room in 3 days...not good.
I took more mag oxide last night but no go. I am not drinking enough water.
I only have 3 clients today which puts me done early with time to kill right at the witching hour for drinks.
Last night I told jeff that we need to clean something in the house a little bit each day because the house needs it.

He agreed.
We sill see if this works or not.
I am getting ready to take a much needed shower.
Have a great weekend my friends.

It's okay bizi. You gave yourself the day to be able to drink and you did. If you can do it again, I think you are on the right track and might be able to even go a little longer af.

I wish we had ideas for you. We all know you have to figure this
out on your own. We also know that its more that you have to
figure out how to drink smaller amounts of the stuff when you do.

But that doesn't seem to be in the cards. So keep working on it.
