Hello, Friends. Have some coffee with me?
Hubby and I have been busy since we got back from our weekend vacation in the mountains.
We extended our little garden in the back yard, which was a lot of digging work, and planted more potatoes that had sprouted in the house...both white potatoes and sweet potatoes. Also planted from seeds, cucumbers and squash. We currently have a large cucumber vine that we have been harvesting fresh cucumbers from. We had a cucumber from it today with our lunch. Was very tasty. We have already harvested potatoes that were planted a few months ago from the little garden. Canteloupes, which were planted from seed recently are already up a little, so maybe, just maybe will will have some canteloupes this fall. Still waiting to see if pumpkins and cabbage (planted from seeds) come up. Some things thrive and others do not. I think it has a lot to do with the type of soil they grow in.
Wishing you a blessed day.

Love, Maria

I did try black coffee, not nearly as bad as I remember it from years ago. Not sure if it’s because I grind fresh high quality beans daily now or because my tastes have changed. But used to adding something, so add almond milk, the unsweetened vanilla kind, I think only 30 Cals a cup.
Looking at Boxed.com and trying to see if I can take advantage of the 20% off promo. Need to see if it has an expiration date, been lagging on it. Didn’t realize they had so many name brands. Their own brand of pure Canadian maple syrup, 32 oz, is a lot cheaper than the way smaller jugs Matt gets at Walmart. Will try that for sure if I place an order.
Can you recommend any good P&S products you may recall?
I’ll have to check on that limit for free shipping. May undo the 20% off promo if I don’t meet their limit.
I saw what appeared to be a good price on the laundry detergent. But it was scented. He is fussy about scents too & we pay more more an unscented brand. Maybe I can do his stuff separately. I never notice the scents after things are dry. May he wouldn’t either if he doesn’t see the container. LOL
Yes...It is scented.
I postponed our game playing until the first week in October - was going to do it Sunday but after the grandbaby came over the girl and DH were just gooey eyed over playing with her, so I postponed it.
attended the Food as Medicine class - I really don't eat right and this class makes me realize how much, but there is also the question of how badly do you want to change, this is a committment and apparently I'm not willing to make it...as I keep eating all the wrong things.
I've had so many, tomorrows, Mondays and firsts of the month - its really pathetic to keep starting over and over again. I guess as long as I keep trying one day it will actually click and I will get my food (SH*T) together!
Problaby got a few people in trouble yesterday - however - it is unacceptable when someone doesn't respond to time sensitive emails and voice mails - so I called their boss - my issue was resolved by the end of the day! I didn't want to do that but I was feeling unimportant and irrelevant and I really needed this invoice paid...with a check. No one uses checks anymore and it takes an act of god almost to get one written.
NOt happy today!
Mindful Mondays - guided meditation at noon
Wellness Wednesdays - yoga at noon - tomorrow
Both work related activities
Excerise class at 5:00 a.m. - may check out the yoga.
Anyway - one man's sunset is another man's dawn - so I guess i'll just keep doing things until I can't.
Have a great day! iP

My determination paid off yesterday! This stubborn ol' Mule isn't giving up so easily. There were times I was tempted - very tempted - but I stayed true to myself and my goals. Dinner may have involved too many tortilla chips, but that's my only complaint.
It was hard to get through those temptation moments at work. I had to remain very focused and determined. I'm not even sure how I got through those moments. But I know for today, when I have one of those moments, I will use the breathwork option on my Garmin to focus on deep breathing. It's sort of a time-out for myself. I will do that.
Worked tricep muscles this morning. This week, I'm using heavier weights. You would scoff if you saw what I do - it's really more on the minimal side, but every little bit counts. 2 exercises, 3 sets of 12-15 reps each, with the heavier weight. No time to do more.
It really helped me yesterday to announce here how determined I am to do better, and I'm STILL VERY DETERMINED to stay steady. Work isn't the love affair it once was, so I just have to ignore what I can, get through what I can, and focus on what's good & healthy for me.
PS I am not missing any entries, it would seem.
Progress as of today: 41 lbs lost so far, only 12.5 lbs to go!Just replied to your email, guess it was from yesterday.
Everything pretty much status quo. The weekly progress reports I get from Fitbit are such a joke. Says I exercised 0 out of 7 days last week & a bunch of other incorrect stuff. Matt says to toss it out & buy a Garmin. Said the company he works for once had a contact with them & they were a terrific group, very smart engineers & well organized. But I am really not into the stats anymore like I was initially.
Progress as of today: 3.4 lbs lost so far, only 11.6 lbs to go!
Never saw such a setup. I have WiFi and Bluetooth for many apps, even fish tank LED light strips. They do have a range but nothing like that. So I told them it sucked & requested a refund. They said I’d have to ship it back at my expense & then they’d refund. Too bad Amazon didn’t have this cheapie close out model. One thing I really like about my Amazon Prime account is the ease of free returns.
These days I only use the tracker as a glorified pedometer. The metrics lost their thrill. So doesn’t really bother me how goofy they get on the other stuff. Like I was telling HoP last week, I don’t need a device to tell me I slept well or like crap.
Thanks for your kind words!
53 degrees out...windows open to let it all in.......trying to figure out what t have for breakfast.......but starting with coffee..........and the news as usual.......UGH...the news!!!
Just going to start doing things...and before I know it.....it's evening...it will be that kind of day.
Well...I've had an out of control eating day....to the point of totally not eating a regular meal at all.......How quickly grazing on junk just takes over....so easy...................tomorrow is another day.
nice and cool by you!
yes, ugh to the bad news! lately and always there's always something bad. my news stations also show happy stories here and there...love those.
the hours do go by fast.
Spent Friday afternoon - shopping - I'm not a fan, but I think the girl is ready to go to school, except for one pair of jeans I need to order because we couldn't find them in her size.
Next project - DH's sister is a photograher, do I pay her to do senior pictures or just higher them out? Impossible situation. The sister is coming to town next weeked for the grand daughter's birthday party - to take pictures. I wonder does she expect to do them. She took some when the girl turned 16, and I wasn't too impressed with them. She uses silly filters and stickers and I just wasn't into all that. I just want a nice photo. The girl thinks she wants to wait until fall.
Saturday - DH and I went to the Corn festival. It was just food, a car show, some arts & crafts and food. There was nothing happening but people standing in line and buying food. I had some bourbon chicken and rice and DH & I split a funnel cake.I did see that they had an adult/senior excerise pad that was neat. We don't have anything like this in our town.
Sunday - DH & I went to breakfast and then he DH went shopping and I stayed home and mowed the front yard. About noon the girl brought the grand daughter over and after she yelled and cried awhile she finally settled down and played. She stayed all afternoon and then the YA & GF came over and picked her up. They were at a car show trying to get sponsors for the YA's race car. I still think watching babies is very hard work.
Up this morning for my exercise class - almost overslept until I remembered I had it. - back and arms are a little tight and will probably be sore tomorrow.
Work in the office -....people.
Have a great day! IP
Progress as of today: 35.9 lbs lost so far, only 92 lbs to go!Watching babies gets harder and harder the older we get....
I love functional parks like the senior activity center. We have some nearby, but not in my town, to my knowledge. That would be cool to have access to, though.
Ugh, I just remembered that the photo copy guy is coming to the office this morning - early at 8am - to install the new copy machines. I hope the Boss remembered to come in early, because there's no way I can make it there by 8am. And I forgot to let the IT people know that we will be needing them to connect certain computers to the new machines to print, scan, etc. So this will be short.
I do feel better today. Still sore in the throat but not as bad. Neck still sore and a little bit swollen, but feeling better overall. Rode my indoor bike and worked my biceps a little bit. Yoga tonight.
DETERMINED to do better this week on food and water.
PS Did a home test and was negative for COVID. GOOD.
Progress as of today: 41 lbs lost so far, only 12.5 lbs to go!I'm glad you feel a little better, take it easy so your body can heal fully. Like Maria said. don't overdo or push hard when you are sick.
Can’t imagine us ever using all we have. We don’t get out much & still wear masks. Very few people do around here, but positivity rate from the latest omicron is going up, it’s highly transmissible. Asymptomatic or minor systems in vaxxed & double boosted people, but I still don’t want it.
The copier: all's well that ends well. Of course, it didn't go nearly as smooth as that, but it got done without too many problems, and we're glad about that.

Hello, Friends.
Hubby 
and I made it home safely today from our mountain vacation.
We had a very happy time. I still kept up with reading your postings on DD while we were away.
We had a wonderful time but we are happy to be back home. We did a lot of walking in the mountains.
Wishing you all a blessed evening.

Up and ready to start the day..........lots of things to keep busy with today....and getting an early start.
coffee
oatmeal
walnuts
banana
Nature Valley PB wafer bar
Baked chicken breast
mashed potatoes and brown onion gravy
peas
1 pkg of oreo cakesters
chocolate
Ate the last tiny piece of angel food cake....good thing it's gone now....UGH!
Think I figured out why a reply to you earlier today didn’t go up. I noticed I had not replied to Maria, so I did & then hit post comment or whatever it’s called for her reply, but not on the one to you. Guess kinda a stupid thing to do & may account for other replies not posting.
As to the new post that vanished, I can’t explain it. Could very well be Donkey is correct, maybe the file was too big. But, I swear, I’ve seen IP post more & better quality pics than the 3 food related ones I had. But I can’t remember if her posts contained an equal amount of text.
Even so it’s not like the text was short novel. It was about sadness over losing my daughter & then onto to food.
I did find that I can't add any eemoj's with the emoji button...it wouldn't post the response when I did...so when I deleted the emoji...it posted.......there are definitely little quirky things posting here.....I would have been very interested in your post...I'm sorry I didn';t get to read it. ((HUGS))
Overall, your menu is so healthy and tasty!
nice to get up early to get things done. it sure feels good to be productive early.
I woke up this morning, with the left side of my neck swollen and my ear feeling a little achy. I can hear fine, it just feels like there's pressure there. And the swollen neck is a gland - probably a lymph node. Took 2 Tylenol and a sinus decongestant, and after that kicked in, my throat doesn't feel nearly as sore.
No gym yesterday, and no gym today, too. I had a nice easy indoor bike ride, did leg and shoulder weights, and then took my Daughter's bike outside for a ride for 4.8 miles. Took about 30 minutes or so.
The trip to the plant shop was a disappointment. She was VERY busy (which is GREAT, but isn't comfortable for me), and a lot of her foliage inventory was gone. I was not interested in the cacti she had either. So we came home.
I'm glad that I am resting from the gym this week. I am going to talk to Husband about maybe suspending my membership for a month. I just need a break.
Progress as of today: 41 lbs lost so far, only 12.5 lbs to go!Probably that swollen lymph node is from the sore throat. Or did you say you have sinus problems? If glands & throat get worse, maybe you need to see a physician re an antibiotic? Usually swollen lymph nodes in my neck go down on their own, most likely yours will too.
I'm pretty sure the swollen lymph node is because of the infection, whatever my body is fighting. I feel a little better today. I took a COVID test last night and was negative.
Of course this has to happen right after my primary care physician announces that she is no longer caring for patients. She been promoted to some Director of some department in the hospital. Now I have to find someone else.
also, you may want to have a second coffee or decaf instead of a snack if you are just bored/working at work and reaching for a distraction?
when i'm extra tired and de-energized at work, or cold/lethargic, i may grab some extra hot liquid to push me thru the day. i totally needed that on Friday.
good idea to suspend your gym membership during these warmer times of year - you can then do use your equipment at home / plus take advantage of the outdoors.
that is why i am not a member of a gym now, i would not make it there enough times. perhaps in winter i could, but coming home after work has been more my cup of tea :) if i worked closer to home, i think i'd have rejoined a gym - but until my lifestyle/work changes, i'm set with the home gym.
i do like gyms because they offer extrinsic motivation from others and more machines, but you don't need a gym to get things done well either.
IDK what it is about work. The minute the stress starts coming, I want to keep my mouth busy. Gum helps a little bit. Coffee, tea (maybe), broth...
I will do better for myself this week.
For the last 2-3 weeks Walmart has not had my Thomas English muffins, the light multigrain. 100 cal. 8 gm fiber, 5 protein. Checked online & nothing. So Matt finds them in a minute online at the Giant Eagle, local supermarket chain I seldom shop at. & they were on sale, 2 for $6. Got up over $3.50 at Walmart, hard to remember because seems like higher price every week. Bought 5 pd bag of ripe but very usable bananas for $1. Such a deal. running 59 cents a pound now. Sliced each and froze in sandwich baggies. back into frozen b's with sugar free syrup.
Bought 16 packages of the muffins, eat 2-3 boxes weekly.
Very tired and never got some things done last week I should have. Sad over my daughter and physically exhausted from all the big tank transfers. Really must paint new 125 G stand black to match other one I painted . Easy job, just sand gloss off laminate & roll out paint. But doilnt summon up the energy, a must do for next week.
Progress as of today: 4.5 lbs lost so far, only 10.5 lbs to go!
I'm sorry that you're losing posts and replies - WTH? Please don't get too discouraged. I do love reading your posts!
This week we had a sale on bananas....$.49/lb instead of the usual $.79 or so by me for a pound...i was happy about that! :)
I'm sorry about the sadness you are experiencing over your daughter. it is expected you should feel those emotions. stay strong and it's ok to feel that way...feel free to reach out to us more if you need our support here.
enjoy the rest of Sunday eve :)
Chilly out here today.......just having a lazy day.
coffee
oatmeal with walnuts
Chicken chow mein
strawberry short cake
hot sprouted almonds....(4)
tuna salad on crackers
oreo ...These things could be a problem
We got a new puppy yesterday......and he has gotten a lot of attention today.......
But you do have all kinds of great ideas HUGS
The scale reminded me that one cannot eat too many chocolates at work and expect to receive favorable results. This week, I really struggled eating too much. I would eat most of my snacks around 10am, leaving nothing for the afternoon, which would then lead me to the chocolates. Not drinking enough water. Even drinking more coffee would be better than reaching for candy. You can't outexercise a bad diet.
I will endeavor to do better this week. I've been struggling with a sore throat lately. Last night, when I came home from work, my throat was quite sore, and this morning, it's still hurts quite a bit. This feels like a sinus infection.
Of course, I had plans today, and now I'm not sure if I should go, or if I should wear a mask, or what. I wanted to go to the plant store party (1-year anniversary), since she's having a sale... oh yes, and a taco truck (LOL - for Husband). Also, there's my usual gym time. I have library books to return, and maybe pick one up. How can I do all of this if I'm sick?
Progress as of today: 41 lbs lost so far, only 12.5 lbs to go!
if you are sick, you should rest more so you can do more next weekend.
i made this diary because my wife told me to do it. After 50 years of marriage I learned it is easier to do what she wants than get nagged. And I am overweight.
When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy...
I created this diary because a friend who no longer uses it suggested I'd enjoy it. I will take a long walk with my husband early tomorrow before it gets too hot.

I hope you post often :-)
Another test to see if I can upload & to send Bear greetings
This post is a test to see if it will disappear like the other one.
Maybe it was too much data submitted all at once?
So now I can't edit onto the second post to add photos. will try again to upload a pic again,

Hello, Friends. We arrived here yesterday and after checking in, a deluge of heavy rain came, followed by a beautiful, colorful rainbow! Above is a photo of it!
Hubby stood by the window looking out and called me to come look at it. What a sight to behold! The Lord makes such beautiful things! Notice in the distance, standing over the lake, a white cross. It looks little in the photo but it is HUGE and it lit up brightly in white lights all nite each nite as it stands over the big lake and we can see it at nite.
Hubby took me to a thrift store that I wanted to go, the same one we visited last year (but didn't get anything from it last year). Well, this year, we hit the jackpot! 4 very large, long racks of clothing on hangers to choose from and only 25 cents each piece! I picked out 9 pieces of clothing and with tax was only $2.41. Mostly shirts, very nice ones. So happy over this find! Also, yesterday and also today, I had a HUGE salad and it was so delicious! Fresh broccolli, strawberries, little tomatoes, cucumber pieces, leaf-lettuce (purple and green), shredded carrots, grapes (red and green), sunflower seeds, something else that resembled sunflower seeds and tasted chewy, and raisins. Yummy!
Hope you are having a nice day.

I rather enjoyed reading about your thrift store experience! What a score!
Well too bad mine aren’t getting deleted, because I do it on a regular basis. Usually taken down after 2-3 days. I try to leave one up per month, or else you lose the bar graph. Last summer I took down all of June and July, so had 2 blanks in the graph.
I also have an unrealistic weight goal in the other graph to keep the appearance more appealing to me. Don’t like flat graphs or goals met. I was 100 often in college & before & after, but will never see that again nor do I care to. My weight's not as low as it seems because pretty sure I’m the shortest person here. BMI good, kinda in the middle of normal.
will respond later...requires more thought :) hugs!

Did your friend drop off the fish?
I'm looking at your diary -- you've lost a lot of entries! It goes from 7/31 to today 8/16! Was that intentional? (It's OK if it was -- just asking.)
no i think it's the Webmaster making changes...sorta accidental deletions...i was able to get most of my data back bc i had saved it yesterday offline in case of another deletion bc it's been happening to many of us here.
he did drop off the two fish...one for each of his twin girls. they played with the pigs which went very well. the visit was very nice and made me feel good :)
bearcountrygg on 08/16/2022:
I saw the pic of all 4 of you on FB...and the piggies....really cute!!! The girls are adorable.
they were well behaved. one is a charm, the other is a little more baby-like and doesn't follow rules well, but yesterday, they were both very good girls! the pigs do love them!
Maria7 on 08/16/2022:
You can't control others' behaviors but you CAN control how you react to their behaviors. Stay peaceful. Take walks on your breaks. Eat outside among nature. Do what you need to do to lessen the stress. Take care. Love you.
i usually do not go outside, eat at my desk (but i do take the break from work as in not eating while working); and usually do not take walks...
...thank you, today i did walk outside around 10 minutes at lunchtime. i did feel better after i came back in. it is allowed; but not preferred by the staff i work with; so i did it today; on occasion; and it was the right thing to do. so thank you.
Maria7 on 08/16/2022:
Hubby Mike said to tell you to wash your dishes and take them home. He said to tell you that if you need a dish to just bring one and take it back each day. He said that will eliminate a lot of that stress. Smile.
i took the dishes back for now; yes. i have the extras in a box under my desk. i'll put them back out if there's a change in staffing with her in the future. thank you. ;-D
innerpeace on 08/16/2022:
Right, I agree with Maria - you can't control others - you can only control how you react to them. We have a sign in our break room over the sink that reads 'don't leave your dirty dishes in the sink for someone else to clean' -and another one on the refrigerator 'Your mother doesn't work here, clean up after yourself' maybe you can put something up similar that gets your message across.
If you brought this dishes and have them where everyone can use them, it will be hard to single out the problem girl. Again I agree with Maria, bring your own dishes for your own use. Wash them and leave them in your desk.
Don't stress out too much - you do you and go with the flow - leave this girl/child be.
thank you Innerpeace. I am going to work to be stronger the rest of the week and i am now over the incident because i am lucky in this case that everyone is fed up by her - so people understand. i will stay away and not engage as the boss has asked me last week.
i just let him know today about the incessant whispering...and the mess...accidentally she was whispering and all with him outside his office; i wanted to just show him as i was up tight from it....
but you are so right...leave it alone...and for the rest of this week and next; my goal besides my work is to not engage with her, do anything negative myself; watch my actions and think before i speak.
i took the dishes away for now as you and maria are right.
bearcountrygg on 08/16/2022:
I agree with what everyone has already said....ignore her bad behaviour...do your job...either take your bowls home or keep 1 in your desk for your own use. If she knows she is getting to you then that may be what she is aiming for. Just tune her out...you can do it!!!
thank you for the advice; i will try harder to ignore her drama...and focus more on my own work.
i have a good amount of work to do; too, so i just have to work on my focus...
