Round 4, Day 5: Chin Up !

 





Today should have been day 210 of Nutrisystem 2.0 but instead it's Day 5 of Round 4. So far it is going well, but I can't get too comfortable. Round 3 started strong too, but then I lost sight of the goal and chose food over losing the weight. 


It was yet another cool morning but I can't really say I mind that. I haven't had to run the air conditioning and I feel like I'm sleeping a little better with just the fan. My day started off with yet another fall ! I tripped in the garage while taking out the bucket of candy & cheese for the siding crew ! Fortunately I did not hurt myself much. A little scrape on the right knee (no blood) and I jammed a couple fingers on my left hand. My left ring finger has developed a bruise but I don't think anything is broken. It was easier to get up from this fall because I was able to scooch over to where the garage floor steps down into the breezeway. More than anything I was scared. However, this fall was the result of a trip - due to my floppy slippers catching as I stepped up from the breezeway to the basement floor. I need to change out my footwear to something that is not going to flop around. I'm nearly 61 years old and I live alone, so I need to be more careful when it comes to slip and falls !


Breakfast was 160 calorie waffles with sugar free syrup and an 80 calorie yogurt. Morning snack was a 155 calorie vanilla shake with peanut butter powder. Lunch was a chef salad & 220 calorie pepperoni pizza melt. Afternoon snack was 90 calorie cottage cheese and the rest of the fresh fruit. Dinner was a new item, a 210 calorie chicken grain bowl. I ate it, but it's not something I will buy again. I also had green beans. Evening snack was a 140 calorie ice cream sandwich. I again stayed 100% compliant with Nutrisystem today !

Good Riddance 2023

  It's the last day of 2023 and I can't say I'm not happy to see it go. The year was not all bad but the bad seems to outweigh the good.  The bad: spending 2 months thinking I was going to lose my job. I naively thought finding a new job with comparable benefits would be easy but I quickly found that my lack of a college degree and lack of any professional certifications pretty much puts me at the bottom of any pile. My "resume" was crap and my interview skills were woefully inadequate. Fortunately for me, that 2 month scramble was all for nothing. I emerged with my job and a requirement to go to the Rochester office once a month. A deal with Chuck to do the driving in exchange for me contributing to gas ($25 per month) made it an easy ask for me. It's nice to be able to chat with Chuck in person during the 90 minute drive each way, so there is an upside there ! The good: getting the vinyl siding & new garage door done. Thanks to my inheritance from mom th

Let's Hear It For The Weekend !

  As much as I wanted to sleep in this morning, by 8 am Abby and my bladder were screaming that it was time to get up. As always, once I'm up I'm fine and that it's for the day when it comes to sleep. I always tell myself I can take a nap, but I never do. Breakfast was a cinnamon roll and a yogurt. Today was the first day I lamented the loss of the tea cookies I used to have with my yogurt. This is probably because I was super hungry by the time I had the yogurt. Lunch was a pepperoni pizza melt before I went out. After shopping I had 2 slices of apple bread, then dinner was broccoli and a meatloaf sandwich. Evening snack was a vanilla ice cream sandwich and later a concoction I made. I sliced the 2 remaining Honey Crisp apples ( they were small ) and microwaved them for 3 minutes with a little water. Ok so far .. but then came the calorie bomb: cinnamon sugar, caramel sauce & whipped cream. Yet again .. it was good but didn't knock my socks off. The peels ruined it

A Lightbulb Moment - Oct 10 through Oct 15, 2023

*** Written 10-10-23*** Is today the day ? I don't know. Maybe "the day" will never come. I just need to pick up the pieces and take each day as it comes. I woke up at 6:35 this morning but dozed back off until the alarm went off at 7. Today was another gloomy drizzly day - typical Fall weather ! I've kept the heat on in the house to ensure dampness doesn't set in. I have the thermostat on 70 and that is comfortable. Yesterday was an off day because I'm still upset about the loss of my phone. It just irks me when someone takes something that is not theirs. I have the new phone all set up and once I have my new case (identical to my old one), I think I'll feel better. On the bright side, I was a tiny bit envious when Michelle got her S23, since I had the S22. I guess someone up there decided I should have an S23 too ! I always says things happen for a reason. I had planned to exercise yesterday and that didn't happen. Oh well. Work has slowed down some
