This was my day today summarized in one photo...

Or 

Is it that awkward moment when your Realize you didn't tighten the cap on your water bottle and that drip, drip, drip you kept hearing was not coming from the ceiling but your bag?  

You make the call!


Look at the sky, don't it look like a painting or a backdrop in a cheap movie?  Actually thought it was beautiful and crazy at the same time.

My day was great today!  It was Monday and we made it thru!  In the end that's all that really matters!

Paleo pizza!  Wasn't the cauliflower crust I wanted to make but it was still good!  Thanks to the El Beav for rolling out the crust!  Did a little bacon cheeseburger action!  It was the best pizza I've had in a while!  


Made Green Apple and Banana muffins.  Realize now I took a before shot but no after.  They turned out good.



Well the Cauliflower fried rice didn't turn out as good as I'd would have like.  Well at least from a look perspective.  It actually did taste like fried rice though.

Well that was Sunday!

Brent's Tale Continued from Page 58:




It was Monday and Brent had not talked to Vicky since Saturday night after they dropped her off.  She had called him that night and thanked him for a wonderful time and said she would talk to him, if she got back in time from her volleyball game on Sunday. 
Obviously she had not gotten home in time, because she had not called. 
            Brent walked to his locker; he was in great mood.  He was coming off a great date with a girl he really likes.  He opened his locker and there was something in the top of it.  He pulled it out and it was a red rose with a card attached. 
            "Sorry for stepping on your flowers!  Love Vicky” Brent smiled, he was now very content, he thought his life was perfect!  He had captured the heart of his best friend.  She too had captured his heart.  The possibilities were endless and Brent was ecstatic. 
            The next week went by like all the others; Brent and Vicky would chat on the phone and at school and appeared to be happy.  Some of Brent's friends would tell Vicky that she would just dick him over. He was mad at them but did not show it.  The following weekend was rapidly approaching and Vicky told Brent she was going to a party with some of her girl friends on Friday night, but maybe they could go out on Saturday. 
            Brent went bowling with his friends that night and smoked some cigarettes.  He trusted Vicky, she cared for him, and there was no worry.  The click was playing pool and Brent was smoking.  When one of the guys made a comment about Vicky going out whoring.  Brent blew it off he was very confident in her.  He was really annoyed with the click and wished O' Riley and Tony had not gone out of town.  He needed some new friends. 
            Vicky was out with her girlfriends and was kind of annoyed with the crowd she had taken her out with.  They were a group of high school guys from across town.  They were all wanna be gangsters and thought they were gangsters although they were all white.  They were very rude and loud, but they were kind of fun.  Mostly she was bored and felt bad that she had not done something with Brent.  Well, that was how she felt at first.
            She was talking with Tara when a few new guys showed up.  They seemed more normal and seemed to be less rowdy. 
            "How are you ladies tonight, I am Jerry."  One of the guys said. 
            "Fine."  Tara replied.
            "Hey guys, this is Steve."  Jerry introduced his friend. 
            Vicky and Steve eyes meet and locked in on one another, then she looked down and her heart was gone.  Steve was medium build and had long brownish hair.  He wore glasses and dressed pretty smoothly.  He was very nice looking and had a boyish charm to him much like Leonardo DeCaperia. 
            "Hi, I am Vicky."  She introduced herself. 
            Steve and Vicky talked the night away.  They parted trading phone numbers and with Vicky falling for him.  She went home that night and thought about Steve. 
         She got off her bed and was walking around her room when she found a picture from her sixth grade year.  The Picture was taken at an elementary school function the night she had started dating her first real elementary school boyfriend.  Or at least the first boy that called her very night and would talk to her.  That boy was Brent Baldwin and then she remembered him and felt terrible.  How could she possibly forget him?  She was now confused and inquired help from her big sister for help, but Lisa could not help her.  She did not need advice she needed a way to let Brent off the hook easy and know one could help her do that.

Crazy day today. Had limited time in the office today b/c I had to go get my teeth cleaned.  I hadn't been in over a year.  I am annoyed b/c my wi-fi is sucking it up at home right now.  Oh well, we will work on that tomorrow. I think for now  am just going to sit on my couch and watch the rain.  I hope it rains more, not b/c I want it to but because we need it in California. I had a such a good week overall.  I was positive, I had some stumbles, but it happens. I ate all my meals at home.  Which is a huge start in the right direction.  I mean I prepared my meals.  Well, except sushi yesterday, I keep forgetting about that one, but I ate really fish, so I am at peace with that meal.  This weekend is the challenge. I think it is really hard to eat paleo on the weekends.  I love having a nice sandwich for lunch on the weekends.  However, I am off the bread, so sandwiches are out.    I am back at Weight watchers meeting tomorrow.  I think fellowship is key.  I am really thinking about going to OA.  I need it. I need to find more support and fellowship. I know how to eat, I know what to eat, I just make excuses not to do it. However, we are getting better at that, better all the time.

Doc Update:  He got his chemo port today.  He will start treatment next week.  Fingers crossed that it won't make him to sick. I am keeping a really good attitude about this, I know it is going to work and he is going to be on the mend!  After all I found this great  jpg on line today. 

  Have only positive expectations, I like that! 

Well, I am gonna jam... Hope you have a wonderful Friday night!  Get a good start off to your weekend, I know I am with a little WW and a little walk or swim.. have not decided. That will depend on the rain. If it rains we swim, I love to swim in the rain.  I don't know why I just do!!!   either way it will be a killer work out after a great meeting, then it will be time to figure out next weeks menu and relax!!!  HAPPY FRIDAY

I slept in this am.  I woke with an ear ache and just wanted to get some extra rest.  I have no time for sickness this month!  No no no!  To many people I know are going down right now!  So know I have a little extra time this am. I stayed in bed. Which means when I got up I didn't walk.  Which I just told myself it was ok I'll do it later.

I got to work and work was going nuts!  I didn't even have time to feel my water bottles.  It was just one thing after another.  So, when my buddy Meghan stopped by and I begged her to get me some water, I didn't feel to bad bc I just was slammed!

However, I did feel a little bad when she asked me if I walked this a.m. And I said nope slept in this morning.  She was like ok so your going at lunch.  I was like no later.  Oh so when you go home?  I realized then not only did I not have a plan to walk, I think I was planning on not walking at all.  This wasn't anything at the for front of my mind or anything it just was something I think I decided when I felt a little sick this morning.  I felt sort of shitty about that too.

So, when a co-worker bailed on me for lunch (forgot mine at home).  I knew what I had to do.  If I was gonna get food, I was gonna have to walk for it.  So that is what I did and that is how I ended up have some sashimi for lunch today.  Is never had mad fish sushi across from office  but it was good.  I also turned the walk here into a 20 minute walk I missed this am. It is at least ten doing a straight shot back!  So I'll end up getting 30 in today! Which is a little Bette than if I'd just gotten up when I should have :)

So thank Meghan for motivating me to get moving!  Bet you didn't even know u did that :D

Feeling pretty good now and ready to head back to the office!!

Today was a good day.  It started with a walk.  However, there was a shadow today.  Not sure if it's my ever growing to do list or what.  I think I rallies end of day and came out of my funk.  Believe this funk is nothing like the black dread.  Not even a little!  I made sure to only eat the food I made.  A little visit with Dr. Sue and we takes about me, she wouldn't let me avoid today and go on and on about how the cobwebs in the high corners of her office bugged me.  It did me lots of good!  Then worked the rest of the day and now grilling out, what could be better?  Short entry today.  Time to check my meat!  Good day!

Keeping it on a lighter note today.  My company is lucky enough to have a box for the Warriors.  I think I told you that last year, I was lucky enough to go to Game 1 of the finals!!  It was an awesome experience, one I won't ever forget.  Today the championship ring came.  My God what a beautiful ring!  I would look pretty bad ass wearing that around all day.    Unfortunately, I just got to try it on and get my photo taken with it!  Still really cool!

Today was a good day!  Day 1 of not eating sugar again, and I have done pretty well.  I turned down donuts at a company meeting, cookies, bbq sauce and an assortment of other items today.  We will see if we are able to do the same thing on the way home tonight.  I don't think it is going to be a problem.  I got some chicken fajitas meat at home, some other good foods I cooked.  Also had a great walk this a.m.  Gonna get up again tomorrow and do it again.  =)  I think walking each morning is key to when I stop eating the sugar, it makes me feel good about myself and it is good for me.

All right I am off!
