I will be travelling a lot this week and throughout the month. Also, things are becoming more uncertain in terms of my job. I may be spared, but I may not. This means I will be doing more recipes that will use less expensive ingredients. I don't want to keep spending more money than I [...]
Those last five pounds are a doozy. I've had to take a scalpel to my eating. Deleting things and moving calories around so I am not so hungry. Eating under 1600 calories is hard for me. One thing to note: I am not on a diet. I'm still eating my regular foods. The changes I [...]
I'm hoping I can get back to normal this week. Since the time change, I've done nothing but travel. Ruined my sleep. Had to ditch my normal workouts for this past week. I stayed at a hotel that said they had a workout room. They did, but it didn't open until 6am. I'm up way [...]
I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
This week is definitely a week of firsts. First run at -4F. First time I hit a weight I haven't seen since 2020. Running at that low of a temperature is borderline insane. Losing weight has been something that has required patience. It has also happened by using some better tools. I have been using [...]
This week has been busy. I had to take a three day training on incident command. It's one of the courses I would like to teach in the future. I already took this class as well as some of the other prerequisite classes that are needed for the train the trainer class. The problem is [...]
I hope everyone is starting their new year off right. I made only one resolution this year. That resolution is to use my vacation time. I'm not one to take days off. Not because I have some fetish for working all the time. There just doesn't seem to be the need. That's not an excuse. [...]
You can tell by the recipes that I have been doing lately that I am really not in the mood to cook anything elaborate. That's ok. It's good to have some simple recipes that don't take much effort. With my mother in law still living down the street, it's a struggle to keep up my [...]
As we're getting closer to Thanksgiving, we are evaluating what we can do with his mom. We usually have Thanksgiving over at my brother's place, but it's not possible this year. I should say, it is possible, but Tony would have to miss out. That's not ideal. We are thinking we may host this year, [...]
Eldercare has been staying steady this week. Dementia doesn't take everything away from a person. My mother in law still knows how to push buttons to get what she wants. We do as much as we can to keep her happy, but sometimes we have to put our foot down. It's hard for any elder [...]
