took an nice long long walk around the golf course in morning and drive myself for an hour to spend at a beach in the afternoon! Hollywood beach.
i would have stayed longer but it was chilly so it was perfect especially since I already exercised in the AM so I just wanted to sit the hour at the beach :)
then i I went to Rosie's work since I took the only working car as their other car has a flat tire

4day avg 2012 - good!!
I'm having trouble with the story I'm telling as I can't write on my cell phone so after I noticed the mushroom container washed that I just put the cooked food in, I asked where the food was and the aunt says she re salvaged the mushrooms into the pasta dish she made on the stove ! So thank gosh I took some of what I made to the pool with me Bc she used the entire thing I made to mix with pasta, tomato sauce and some cheese!!!!
i was shocked and frustrated she used the full thing and didn't leave me any. But this is the aunt - very mean and angry human being also on vaca and Rosie's house with her daughter till sometime Thursday it seems.
shes just thoughtless...and I am starting to not give a F about even talking to her. I am nice to her and it causes her to be more rude and step over bounds.
i refuse to buy more food till she leaves.
what she made is actually nice if you like pasta Bc She I think added White beans too.
the point is simply She didn't think to ask or say she'd use it?
like you all know, i don't list pasta or even a pasta with veggies as a usual thing i eat so I was just shock when I saw what she turned my food into. And how it's not a low calorie option now.
But I didn't actually buy the veggies - for the particular mushroom dish I made. I made it to use the ingredients specifically Bc they have been in the fridge the whole time and I didnt want them to spoil. So I made what I like and to share only with the nice people - I said nothing to the aunt about it - she watched me slicing a thousand mushrooms though.
I am not angry as I didn't but buy the veggies and it was creative to see how she totally took my stuff and out it it into hers.
the annoying thing is she just assumed it'd be ok to use my work for hers.

pool and gym today.
In morning I washed towels and cooked up some veggies rosie had in her fridge before they went to waste. I used garlic which I individually sliced up and then a huge amount of mushrooms that I washed and cut and decided to use the remainder of the spinach before it went bad.
I finished it around 11am and was super happy. I took a little bit to the pool with me around noon to have with a sandwich I made of food I bought.
i sat at pool from 12-1:30.
i came back to check on towels which someone took outta dryer and put away.
i noticed that my veggie container of all the mushrooms was washed and dried.

Can you advice your tjoughtrd on the story with a bias
My opinion is: You're on vacation. Don't give it another thought. Go out and enjoy the weather and the different surroundings. No good can come of any mention of the veggies / aunt to your friends. I'm sure the number of guests at one time has been a bit of a burden on them, but they've been gracious enough to house everyone. In that type of situation, the most thoughtful thing for a guest to do would be to not add any additional stress to the hosts.
Just my opinion.....
As you mentioned, it could have been worse, as she could have used food that you bought for yourself! But this was not the case, so there's one reason to let this go.
In addition to what Gains and Bear said - relax, you're on vacation - crowd dynamics, etc. - I would say to keep in mind that you are not co-existing with a woman who is on the same level as you. Not that she's irrational, but I have this quite a few times with clients who are either perpetually dissatisfied or worried or antagonistic. I have to realize that these people are limited in how they can interact in the world, and so I treat them differently - perhaps more cheerfully or gently -- than I would someone who is polite and is able to understand where I'm coming from.
I think that this crazy aunt would fall into the "difficult client" category, too.
I don't think it ever occurred to her to take your feelings into consideration or save some of what you made aside -- none of that. She is angry, hurtful, and self-centered. You're not going to change that in 3 days. Don't let her toxic personality poison your vacation. You yourself said you were going to keep your distance and keep the food that YOU buy separate from what she has access to. Do this for your friend; do this for yourself.
I might add though, that any jury of 12 people working a keto diet would have your back and acquit. Just sayin'.... Mixing those delicious vegetables with pasta?!? UGH!
PS Is anyone eating her pasta dish? It would be hilarious if she made that and nobody ate any of it. Of course, that's not good either because it's a waste of food, which is exactly what you were trying to avoid. If you're faced with having to eat it, I'd make a point of picking out all the pasta -- but that's me. Sometimes this Donkey can be a real B****.
Yes it's not worth being angry at all.
I didn't label my food or tell her not to eat it - if she does I'll ask for her to pay or something ....i hope I don't notice if she takes...she has her pasta dish right ?! Hahaha
The aunt hearing her talk - I've learned to try not to be negative and work harder to see things from a positive angle.

Sounds like your vacation is actually going to be relaxing for you. Our little vacation getaways are rarely relaxing. I usually treat vacation time as time to cram as much fun stuff into as possible. Although the cruise this past Summer was pretty low-key with no real set schedules.
Good job on maintaining and enjoy the warmth, while the rest of us are freezing our butts off!
Found tons of different sea shells and I found a black colored sand dollar (have only seen gray before).
Got within about 30 feet of a large mature bald eagle that was just walking around looking in the tide pools. Got lots of photos and video since he didn't appear worried about us being relatively close to him for 2 or 3 minutes.
Walked through lots of clam fields where they were shooting up 3' tall fountains of water (reminded me of Vegas fountains).
Almost got hit by a falling clam shell (seagulls fly them up and drop them trying to break them open).
And some of the best fish & chips I can remember.
Hoping to get to another beach this summer. Hoping to take the wife to Hawaii for our 20th anniversary, but haven't finalized plans yet (should really get that done soon).
He lives 3 hours away - this just came up and weird....
Now 6 tonight until Thursday night 4 left...

We will also go buy more eggs so I can continue to make egg and salami or egg and avocado wraps for them and myself !! Very nice and satisfying !!

_______________________________________________________
Today's my last day of work before flying out at 2pm to Florida tomorrow. I'll get there around 6pm, my friend Rosie and her Husband Kareem will pick me up at the FLL airport :)
I have to remember to pack some makeup / foundation tonight, as well as a nair clipper / scissor, and jewelery! Those are basically the things i haven't already packed from the previous weekend when i was packing :)
I don't have to wake up early tomorrow bc i am being picked up by taxi to airport at noon. :) This is good because i haven't slept great the past two nights :) and it'll be nice to wake up later tomorrow morning :-) ..and i have a goal to try to pack just about everything and close the suitcase and other travel bag completely before the night ends tonight. Then, i can simply relax tomorrow leading up to the flight :)
I've considered taking sleeping pills with me. I do want to...like my first night in florida, at their place, if she works on that thursdy, i'd appreciate just being able to sleep till they are outta the condo...then just get to the gym. that's my goal for Thursday.
Friday only goal is to meet up with a friend for a walk at Hollywood Beach which is near Fort Lauderdale where i'm staying.
So, basically, i have plans for the first two days, simple and relaxed. The folks i'm staying with don't know these plans - lol - so these plans may change! ...but for now, that's the tentative plans :)

2200 :)
3day avg:
then a nice, sleepy bedtime for me! ...looking forward to cuddling up with myself in my bed lol...
_______________________________________________________________________
Last night i did a smart thing! On my way home, before getting on the bus to take me into my neighborhood, I got a nice, tasty new coffee from Starbucks called the nitro. It's literally nitrogen whipped into coffee. It's a whipped coffee, no cals. It doesn't even need milk if you don't want to add it because with stevia it tastes amazing as is!
After the coffee, as soon as i got into my apt, i took my jacket off and started up with laundry right away. It wasn't too much and i'm glad i did it.
After that, i started up the veggie soup using the remainder of my fresh root veggies (carrots and parsnips, also an onion) mixed with 2 cups bone broth and 4 cups regular chicken broth. I didn't add any extra spices as i'm content on a chicken soup flavor right now and the soup mixes are are already flavored.
I also decided to just do it ;)....and broiled up a package of turkey burgers i had bought to cook for close to before i go away, so i have good protein to eat now. I'm glad i didn't waste those. I had one for dinner :)
Have a good day all, the caffeine yesterday helped me to get a lot done last night, perfect way to end the Sunday night. I wasn't even tired doing it....but went to bed late so i'm tired this AM hahaha.
______________________________________________________________________
I have a weights workout tonight, then i'm done till i do another one in Florida. Maybe Thursday.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
i will be happy to have things at home that taste fine and i can bring to work. and healthy and low cal...and $$$ friendly! yes, YES!
Alongside the "Nitro" with infused nitrogen, they need to come out with the "Urkel" and infuse it with helium. (Steve Urkel - Family Matters reference)
Good job staying consistent. Florida vacation so close you can probably taste it.....
thanks, Grains. having a tired, hungry day but just going along with it and enjoying it...

Yes it's been rather easy while on vaca '!!! I think it's due to the later wake up
