having a couple of drinks just now. My friend melissa is coming to pick me up and go to a quick dinner and then the musical chicago.
jeff is playing banjo for the show.
he basically was forced to play because he could not find any other student to play. Which he did not like and ate up 4 hours when he was to teach but they required him for the rehearsals and thenback to school for classes then back to the center for sound check and the performance is at 7;30.
Some how he will get something to eat.
She should be here any time now.

Bizi,

How was Chicago?

I hope that you and your friend had a good time.

We enjoyed the musical even though we were in the balcony.....
loved the movie version better. The band sounded great. Jeff said he had fun.

For $104 I would have rather been on the floor.
anyway.
melissa and I went to eat at zeas and I had thai ribs and corn grits! both were delicious!

Sounds great.

I'm so glad you had fun! :)
You are right tho... $104 is a lot for the balcony...

The Thai ribs and grits sound yummy!

some how my old thread pulled up and this one was neglected. So I asked the other one be closed. I had over 1000 post so it was too long and needed to be closed.


November 1st 2018, I started my new diet, but am not going crazy following.
Lower carbs, no flour, sugar, potatoes, or rice.
It has been 11 days since I have had a drink of alcohol although I have used mouth wash every day but don't swallow it. :)
my scale had gone up to 187 so that was scary....my weight this morning was 179.3. I don't ever want to be 180 pounds again. So drinking alcohol contributed to me gaining 50 pounds in 3 years.
I shall refrain myself from drinking until christmas vacation to see how much weight I can lose. Then go from there.



This weekend was fun!
I actually was able to sit at the bar in whole foods and not play trivia and eat hamburgers and a large salad, by myself and NOT drink any beer, just plain water. I was not tempted in the least....success!
Saturday:we had lunch at chris' po boys. Chicken and sausage gumbo and a bowl of cabbage with remulade dressing. Delicious!
For dinner had chimichurri chicken stirfry with cabbage and onions.
Very tasty!
Sunday was veterans day, I wrote this earlier and added stuff sorry too late to edit but you will get the idea:


Thought I would elaborate my day:
Just got back from texas road house with some friends of ours who are both veterans and we were treated to a lunch. I had pulled pork that tasted just like their ribs and was a huge portion that I took home more than half the order. It had a sweet BBQ sauce so I knew it was not on my diet but then took home the mixed veggies and ate a cup of chili which was very good. Then hubby and I and another friend are going to see the movie about the band queen. It sounds so good. We will meet back up with our friends to go to dinner at the bj's brew house for dinner on them as veterans.
Went to khols and bought a shirt half off with coupons, it is a pretty peacock blue
doing laundry....it has warmed up to 60 so it is nice outside.
The movie was great!!!! really well done about the band named Queen. I kept having hot flashes taking off my sweater then getting cold and putting it back on.sigh
menopause go away.
We went to dinner with same friends that we did lunch with for dinner at a brew house and it was good. I had an ahi tuna cooked med/rare and a large salad with a light vinaigrette which was delicious.
I did a bit of filing for work this evening am going to head to bed early as I have to get up at 730am to start my day tomorrow. I have 5 clients to see.
Another AF day, good day.

Hi, Bizi,


Keep posting.


I read most of the time. Sometimes I take breaks -- can't really explain
very well except that every one of is us managing the best that
we possibly can.
