The official Status Update thread #209....So this is spring...???

[mom45]

Temps have dropped significantly here and I gave up on the idea of planting flowers. I have two big crates full of irises and daylilies but they will wait.

Been chatting with my son on FB and crocheting. I made some macaroni salad that we can have with pork chops for dinner and will have enough of the salad left for the next few days.

Afternoon all.......BRRRRRRRRR its a little chilly out there today

 

[churchmouse]

CKW found an interesting Keto based recipe for chicken fingers. She has been doing pretty well with this and kept the food interesting and pretty good for the most part. I am down about 10lbs in a couple of weeks.

Rain off and on and strong winds. Looking like a heavy storm is coming.

Mom, what has you son had to say about the virus over there?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I was getting more done on the last shelf that will hold the big pots full of flowers when the wind came up and we had a nasty bit of storm here.

Then a brief bit of sun and now it looks like more rain is coming.

It's clouding up again down here too. I thought we were done for today, except for the wind. Just made a quick Kroger run and they were packed.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Bear! Howdy again Greg, mom and bcannon!

CM, that's great re the 10 lbs.!

Our Kroger was packed also. Have we got snow coming?

You'd think so! I wouldn't have though that late Sunday afternoon would be prime shopping time.

Yup. 29 to go.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I could really stand to lose at least 30 or so myself. Maybe more. I'm surprised I haven't ballooned all the way up since I've been working from home.

Mom, what has you son had to say about the virus over there?

Serbia has only had 213 deaths for the whole country. It looks like they have had just over 10K cases. He has been mostly staying in his studio/apartment and working on projects, applications, grants, etc. He only goes out for groceries and such since he has suffered from asthma since he was an infant and would be high risk if he got the virus.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

So what do I bring home from Kroger, but 4 cherry turnovers. I blame Snap for talking about her cherry dump cake bars she was making earlier. I haven't really been keeping much around in the way of sweets lately.

 

[mom45]

I could lost 50, but I don't expect it to happen. I just focus on eating healthy and don't let it bother me too much. My bp, cholesterol, etc. are all good so I just chalk it up to genetics for the most part. I am able to do the things I enjoy and always lose a few pounds in the spring/summer that seem to come back in the fall and winter. The few times I have tried to diet, I never seem to lose much. If I do lose it, it seems to come back quickly along with a few more pounds.

 

[bcannon]

Howdy DD, mom, CM, Bear, Greg and anyone lurking.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

About the same here mom. Blood work and all my vitals always come back good at my yearly physicals.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Man, this wind is really howling.

 

[churchmouse]

This whole diet thing is an attempt to 1) control my sugar. 2) get my weight back in check. I have stopped the Cancer maint. regimen which I am told will keep the weight on me so here we go. If I can keep my sugar in check through diet I can pitch that medication as well. I am going to go out the door med free if I can pull it off.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I think it's great CM, and glad you're doing well with it!

 

[churchmouse]

Man, this wind is really howling.

Yes and the temps are falling. We may cover some of the plants again tonight.
