coffee

halo top

still haven't figured calories,,

Getting some things done today but afraid to write too much and then not be able to post.......

Slept really well...and weather is beautiful........D headed out early for blood work...at the hosp there was a 2 hour wait standing outside........so they gave him the option to go to his doctors office and there was a 30 minute wait there......he asked how many covid patients in the hospital ...they said 2 to 4........BUT...some businesses in our town have been reported as places where there are multiple infections lately but they won't tell us which ones......seems like we should be able to know that.......so I stay home until I can't wait anymore.

2 cups coffee, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, chili and scallped potatoes with cheese = 1,763 cals today

Basically ended up spending the day trying to keep the old computer running ........it didn't cooperate...so I got the new one i bought last Christmas time...and now It and I are getting to know each other......that was a full day job

Started with coffee

A lot going on over the next couple of days...........

Up at 5:45.slept really well.....watched some news , had a cup of coffee and a full day planned so I figure I will keep track of it here today.

Last friday I ordered the authorization number from GM for the next lease car.......and  Fed Ex will deliver the number......if things go correctly today or tomorrow.......also supposedly I will get a call about available cars from our dealership........with the new rules...things are very different....trying to go with the flow.....a package we ordered through amazon was delivered to the wrong place...hours away......and stuck there...frustrating.......another seems lost in the mail......2 others...just kind of flailing around out there in the world.  Made the decision to order two of the Tommy Copper face masks...so need to do that..they are washable and should last well...will still continue to make some myself too....need to clean out the car.....mail some things.......defrost something for lunch......do some cleaning.....and get paperwork in order.......Decided to count calories today....and possibly until I lose the last few.........I just seriously want to do the daily weigh in...and know each day rather it is a diet day or a free eating day.....That works....it's a life style that a friend has always lived and it worked for her.......and she never had to fight a big weight gain......it was a daily situation....and no more.........she never had to deal with excess skin or the things that obesity caused........I should have listened to her and followed her lead 40 years ago.....but that time has passed...and now I'm doing it her way.  Better late than never......

cals for the day = 979

Beautiful 60 degree day here today........windows open and cool enough to keep the AC from turning on...perfect.

Sleeping really well and still wanting to nap during the day.....I would really like to stop that....maybe more coffee...need to do some research on that...I can break the habit for a few days...but it comes back....literally.....sitting in a chair, at the computer...it had better not be narcolepcy!!!  Maybe just staying on my feet....I never fall asleep standing up.  Probably age...old people are known for that....I'm fighting old age...no matter what I have to do...LOL

Breakfast was goulash leftovers.....I swear...I could eat anything for breakfast.......and coffee

Bird watching.....although he's licking his chops....I'm just watching.

I've decided to just take it easy today.....no plans...no housework other thn by necessity....just relaxing.

Lunch was sloppy joe, green beans, baked beans and chocolate

snack = mixed nuts and a starbucks water additive that was 70 cals...UGH....not worth that.

Up and cleaned out the kitty litter, bath, dressed and called the car dealership...now to wait for the call back.......looks like you pick a car online and they deliver it to you......sounds good to me.  Never picky here...never test drive.....just go to lot, pick a car usually...figure the lease payments....and if all is inline we drive it home....too easy......since we are brand faithful and even style faithful.....it works really well.  So if the salesman wants to sit on our deck and do his paperwork...wonderful...he brings the new one and takes the current one back with him......I kind of like this......they always like getting our cars back...no dents, stains, damage at all...and very low mileage...in this case 7,200 miles on our 2018. 

Continuing with online stuff for D today..........that seems to never end.....he can oly do so much on his phone and he hates to use the computer so....it's up to me......and that's okay.

Breakfast = coffee and toast with PB and jelly

Scales fine...can live with that

Rainy here.,..and a clittle cooler.....so far I've spent the morning making masks for us and doing some online work for D........So HAPPY to get the internet back!! 

Breakfast = coffee, yogurt and a small pumpkin scone

Lunch = brat, carrots, noodles, english muffin

Evening = nature valley fruit and nut bars, dried fruit and the leftover chicken alfredo.

We sure do have a lot of carb heavy foods around here....when I do shop now I rarely buy that stuff........with us both watching our weight and D a diabetic that is about the last thing we need.........but...we are using up what we have....and replacing mainly meat, fruit, veg , eggs and nuts.....will still be buying bread though.  Even though i have always been able to lose weight over the years eating junk foods...I can see as the years go by ( and they are going fast now)....that I need to lower the amount of them.....i grew up being told that every meal must contail a protein and a fruit/veg and side of something carb.....we lived that way for 54 years and still do....but especially for D's sake I can see the need to just stop buying a lot of that stuff.  Unfortunately there is still a lot of that here though.

Well...FINALLY....We have internet again...I've been in online withdrawl since mid day friday!!!  While the company was out front working on a neighbors internet...they CUT OUR CABLE and didn't bother to fix it!!!!  Since then no internet or house phone......BUT finally got a SMART repairman and he fixed it......and of all times for our phones here ( neighbors too)...internet to be very spotty....so......thankfully that is over...I had no idea how controlled we are by the internet....now we know.

Breakfast was coffee, yogurt and a RX bar

Snack was a mini bag of chips

Lunch was chicken alfredo and peas and carrrots, a 2 mini corn muffins

 Test

Slept good...nice day out....heard a fawn calling it's Mom this morning...for a long time...hope it's Mom is okay.......battling ants in the kitchen...I swear...there is NOTHING that turns me off about cooking..than having ants in the kitchen!!  They are relentless...the traps aren't working...but last night figured out that a pure white vinegar wipe down and then a spray with lysol kitchen cleaner worked in the spice/herb drawer...but now...they have moved...so apparently the whole kitchen will need to be attacked.....UGH............

Spent the rest of the morning getting locked out of an online bank account because I was too stubborn to put my reading glasses on...LOL...a couple of phone calls later.....an interesting discussion with D about how old age stinks...and we are back in the accounts............paid a bill, did some paperwork and now laundry...dryer stopped drying with heat a few days ago...but still drys...just needs 3 rounds each load...I'm interested tom see how the next electric bill looks...LOL...Not a good time to buy new...friends have had a horrible experience with that since the lockdown......2 delivery cancellations and arrival with a severly damaged refrigerator........don't really want  a repairman here right now either...so just doing what I can with what I've got.....so daily laundry....to keep the loads small.

Breakfast -= coffee....not really hungry so not eating so far.
