Darn it's Monday Phase 2 Check In

Good Morning!


How was your weekend?  Did anyone watch the Academy Awards last night?  My dh was grumbling because we tried watching it on the high definition channel and they totally botched up the sound.  Various people's voices cut out.  Oh well....


I managed to get my kitten Gracie to eat a little.  Still not as much as she needs to eat by a long shot.  I will see what the vet says on Wednesday when I take her back in.   I am also trying to arrange an appt with a vet an hour's drive away who does dental work on exotics so I can maybe get a second opinion on Gandalf my chinchilla and see if he needs a tooth pulled.  He continues to lose weight so I'm worried.  I need to solve his problem so he'll eat again.


Some good news.   Last August I helped resuce a Sheltie who needed a good home.  (The dog went first class by being flown in a private small plane up to Minneapolis where the Sheltie Rescue was located and she found a home within a week).  They kept my name on the list and they contacted me last week saying another family had to give up their 2 year old Sheltie due to financial problems and they were planning on transporting the dog up to MN.  I told them I thought it would be less stressful for the dog if I could find him a home here in Nebraska.  I asked a colleague of mine at the college I work at if she knew anyone since she had Shelties.  She told her co-worker, a drafting instructor, about Riley (the dog) and long story short....he met the owners Friday at a park and ended up adopting Riley on the spot!  He already had a 10 year old Sheltie and Riley got along immediately with him, as well as the instructor's 2 teenage kids who loves throwing a tennis ball that Riley would fetch for them.  I just love happy endings! :-)


Today I'm starting (for sure!) my exercise routine.  I want to walk and start doing my weight training again.  Wish me luck! ;-)


Breakfast:  yogurt & Kashi cereal, coffee


Snack:  Mozz stick


Lunch:  ww tortilla with grilled chicken and sauteed veggies


Snack: apple & lite LC cheese


Dinner:  Maybe fish & veggies


Snack:  fudgesicle


Have a great day everyone!

Hello ladies -

Started out the day well by going to the gym. I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and 35 minutes on the treadmill, with 7 of it jogging. It feels good to be back on track with my 5k training, after taking a one week haitus because of being sick. Unfortunately, that big workout really spiked my appetite and I don't have the groceries to counteract it!

So here is my not-so-good menu so far:

B: 1 pc leftover pizza (wholegrain and homeade, so P2 friendly)
S: 2 cheese sticks; coffee w/milk
L: 2 pc pizza (ok, so no more carbs or cheese today! LOL) and celery
S: cut up veggies
D: sloppy joes (no bread) and a BIG veggie side
S: yogurt w/peanut butter

Sorry I don't have time to answer everyone's posts!

It is pretty quiet around here, which is nice. I just got home from working out and I am pooped out. I walked with a friend and then lifted weights. This friend is good to walk with becaus she has long legs and keeps up a good pace.

Today's menu:
B - half ww bagel with poached egg and lf cheese
sn - apple and string chees
L - left over taco meatballs, by the way, my family loved them
sn - ?
D - cheese stuffed chicken breasts, I put the recipe on the board if anyone is interested.
de - fudge bar

Suzy,


Our boys are all brothers from the same litter. They couldn't live without each other. They chase each other one minute and then all snuggle up tight the next. They groom. They look out for one another. Yeah, they get along just fine.


Thanks for asking.
