Beautiful blue skies, temperatures are supposed to be in the 40's and warming up through the week. Can't wait for this ice & snow to melt away. Plenty of sounds of ice choppers and snow shovels yesterday as people were still battling to get sidewalks cleared.
New week and my workout clothes were all set to get in a workout this morning except they were missing me. Ever since the time changed I'm having an awful time getting in my morning workout time. I shut off the alarm-in fact this morning I don't even remember doing it but I must have. Next thing I knew it was time to get up and into the shower. I'd leave the radio on but then it's waking DH up way before he gets up. Not sure how I'm going to solve this problem. I really do miss that morning charge the battery time. I can't go back to the evening workout. Workouts and acid reflux don't mix well with me and it's just hard for me to gather up any enthusiasim for a good workout in the evening. Any suggestions?
I did a lot of dinner prep work yesterday. I made DD's favorite casserole for dinner. All ready to go just has to popped into the oven. Greens are all washed for a nice big salad. Cooked up chicken cutlets and shredded some cheese for another meal during the week. Love being a bit ahead of myself which makes the after 5 hour so much easier.
Otto and I went for a long walk yesterday afternoon. Although the wind was blowing pretty hard it was a great walk in the sunshine. We'll head out again after dinner this evening.
Hard to believe that another weekend has come and gone. We have a new associate starting at the office today. DD is also giving notice this morning. I would love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation!
That about sums up my day. Hope the new day and new week brings good things your way!
Good morning everyone, board is very quiet this morning. I guess we have some sleepy heads who are in slow gear. I decided not to turn the computer on this morning at the house. I knew once I did I would not get out on time. Instead I managed to fold yet two more batches of laundry, I washed the remainder of pots from last nights dinner and I made all the beds. I was in work at 9:02.......not bad. Boss is in court this morning so I can post quickly before the phones come off service and my Monday begins. I have several important files to take care of this morning. I packed my breakfast, snack and lunch for today and my water. I hope today I can behave. I have no clue what I am cooking for dinner since Peapod can arrive any time between 5:30 and 9:00. Since I need cold cuts maybe I will grab the making of a meatloaf. Everyone enjoys that but Billy so he can just suffer or go out, lol. Well here is hoping everyone has a wonderful day today. Don't work too hard.
It certainly is quiet this morning.. Like Susan.. it's sunny and around 40.. I can't wait til this snow is gone... But it's going .. and pretty fast too.. I saw some tulips coming up on my walk yesterday.
Hello, Nancy and all! Early start for you again today! I am in the same boat as you, NANCY. I don't know what happens to me on the weekend, but I tend to undo what I worked so hard for all week. Let's make a pact to do better this upcoming weekend. Just remember, you had a wonderful day Saturday with DH in town. It had to be worth it!
We did go out for barbeque last night at "Bobiques"...and to my surprise there was salmon on the menu. At this place, you go to the counter to order what you want from a small menu and then you find your own table. So..I had the salmon with coleslaw and corn on the cob. My one indulgence and weakness was the cornbread. Oh well...new start today.
It is a new beginning Monday for me (again) and my WW books are out and I am journaling everything. I pushed myself out of bed and took two classes this morning. I am glad I did since the manager offered me two classes on Tuesday night. I am not a night person but I need some "direction". I feel lost without having regular scheduled classes. Then I feel badly when I just can't get up and leave to visit my out of state kids and grandkids. Boy, I am fickle! But, it is a new beginning and I am going to go for it and the family will just have to understand that I am doing it for me.
Slept a little better last night finally...but I am trying melatonin. I just want to get my body back into a sleep rhythm and I hope it helps. Halving the medicine has cut down on the weird dreams a little too. So that is a plus.
SUSAN...again, I have to give you kudos for being so organized and doing all that prep work ahead. It has been very hard to get up early to exercise. I couldn't get up to do the earlier class today in another gym...my body just didn't want to leave the bed. Luckily I had another option. Great walk yesterday and I don't know how you did it with that wind kicking up the way it did.
LORI...good luck with the tatoo today! You have to share how it goes.
cl-DEB...you got a lot done this morning before your paying job. Great work with packing all you need to eat for the day. I guess DS can have leftover roast beef if he doesn't like meatloaf.
DEB/Mn...hope you have a nice birthday lunch with DH and grandson. Does laundry ever end?
JazzerDEB...that soup sounds yummy...thanks for posting it and the pt count to it. I already browned some meat, so maybe I will put some of those ingredients together. I think I would rinse the beans though to help lower the "gastric distress" LOL! Have a good day whether you are waxing or going to the dentist.
KAREN...if you ask me cleaning 3 closets out and reorganizing them sounds like a great accomplishment to me. You go girl! Have a good week.
So..nothing really going on here. I am going to finish the cleaning I did not finish on Saturday and start the week with a clean/dusted/vacuumed house.
We are back from our day out.. I found some new bedding so I am anxious to start my new project.. Not too excited about moving everything out and painting but it needs it badly.. Should get the new mattress ordered and ready for delivery.. Think I am going to hold off on the furniture.. my husband would be thankful but I haven't fully decided on waiting.. lol
JazzerDeb.. hope the waxing wasn't too bad.. love the idea of BYOB... :)
Patty's computer must be giving her fits still today.
