Still alcohol free one more week of abs then we shall see what I do then. I have had a pretty regular weight loss14.1 pounds in 5 weeks. I would say that is pretty good. I still look pregnant. My Intermittant fasting is working and following a lowish carb diet.
Went to a dinner it was all very good and healthy
baked chicken and asparagus and brussel sprouts and cucumbers and we brought a lovely fruit salad that hubby made. with strawberries pineapple, blue berries and raspberries. yummy. snacked on some dark chocolate almond candy and some roasted almonds. Very filling but not stuffed!
Then proceeded to drink 5 sparkling sodas.
I hope I don't have to get up to go pee too many times tonight!
Our friend paul is also abstaining from alcohol for lent. And hubby is taking anti biotics so he was drinking water too. so rob was the only one drinking whisky.
I did not miss it as I was not nervous being around them. So I think I can continue to do this after easter.

It's good that Jeff is taking the Mucinex

It's great that you saw Doris! When is the last time you saw her?

I'm so glad that you have been getting support from Jeff and Paul
And I'm happy that you felt comfortable around the people at the cookout and feel like you can abstain from alcohol after Easter

I drink a lot more non-alcoholic beverages when I'm out and around people who are drinking, or if I want to avoid eating too much. I hope you didn't have to get up too pee last night and got some good sleep...

How are you feeling? Do you think you have, or are getting, a cold?

Thanks kay!
I just took zyrtek and allegra d for my symptoms, have a yucky cough and scratchy throat still have some sniffles, my eyes are watering this morning.
So I am fighting what ever this is.


Jeff is better today. still coughing a bit. I got up and went to the other bed room last night because I felt like I was going to have a coughing fit and went pee. The house was cold so I had to get up and get a blanket to put on top of me. I got a cough drop and that seemed to help ward off a coughing fit. Took another clonipin just .5mg to see if that would help me get back to sleep and it did.


Got up at 8:30. Jeff got up shortly after me.
It is cooler outside.
WE dodged a bullet last night. There were supposed to be heavy rains and storms...but did not. It had been gusty and heavy winds all day yesterday.
Invited melissa and her hubby brian for dinner tonight we have a meat loaf that needs to be eaten along with some pork sausage I was going to mix the two together to make it a 2 pound loaf. Yesterday she said maybe...They were going to go to lake martin to go kayaking and she is an excellent photographer.

She calls that her happy place.
They have been training for a half marathon...so proud of them both!


Visited with my friend Doris for a few hours yesterday so that was great seeing her. Doris went with me 2 octobers ago when we went to north carolina to hear bluegrass. I think I was hypo or manic on that trip, looking back at it.
She is a good friend.
I am drinking plenty of fluids like usual.
Need to hop into the shower...it has been 5 days.
sigh
wish it weren't such an ordeal but it is....


Looking forward to my bacon lettuce egg tomato mayo on rye bread sandwich This morning...love it! It has become my usual choice...took me long enough to finally eat some bread with out freaking out!

This is the only bread that I have for the week though.


lots of love for my friends here,

I enjoy your post they are so lovely. I can't seem to get out of
the rut of eating so I'm still working on it.

I eat lots more when I'm out and running around. Than when I'm
home with no one around. But that is because Dale and the kids
aren't around to eat too.

But that is okay I have things to eat. Just don't like to eat by myself.
Anyway, I am having either a frozen lasagna or chicken pot pie today.
Haven't decided which I want, or both. Hmmm, will have to decide
later.

Oh well. Anyway its life.

I had roast beef, potato cakes for lunch, at Arbys, and then I had
hmmm, Hamburger for dinner, and a Wendy's frosty my spurlger.

Lots of water yesterday.

oh donna, i love arby's potato cakes!!!!
I hate eating alone too.


The BLT with an egg sandwich was delicious!
It was to come with a side of potatoes or grits, I said no sides.
I left some of the crust behind so am very satisfied....
Jeff enjoyed his Ruebin sandwich too.


Our friends backed out of dinner and said that we need to get together soon.
oh well...that meat loaf still needs to be eaten, maybe we can call paul to see if he would like to come over for a quick dinner?


Jeff has a lot of paper work that needs to be done (he is 2 months behind in doing the check book)and I have busy paper work to do as well....I listen to the grateful dead music cassette tape from years ago....when ever I have to do paperwork that I don't like doing.

I'm so glad you had a nice visit with Doris!
How is her mother doing? If I remember right, she was very ill?

I'm sorry that the allergy meds aren't helping more. I can't imagine how bad off you would be right now without them! I hope that this cold, or whatever it is, passes quickly, and you start feeling better soon!
It's okay that Jeff is still coughing right nw. The Mucinex is loosening up the phlegm and post nasal drip from his infection, and the cough is preventing it from moving further down his respiratory tract

I'm sorry that you friends won't be joining you for dinner. Can you freeze half the meatloaf if Paul can't come over, or have you already frozen the meat before?

I hope you two got all your paperwork done!

WE are having the left over meat loaf for dinner. With some veggie soup from sandras and some tabouli from there as well.
yummy.
Jeff joined me for lunch since he is off for spring break all this week. I had a rare tuna steak with chard and smothered cabbage and zucchini.
jeff had a club sandwich and a cucumber and tomato salad.
We both liked our meal!
Have to get going have a client at 1pm.
