Taking time

Monday, September 10, 2012

I tend to get in a hurry a lot and I know I miss out on some of the simple things I don't need to take for granted. I cleaned out the spice drawer yesterday and and to throw lots of them out. Don't know why I hadn't taken the time to notice the date of expiration and replaced those out of date. I had also bought two or more of the same thing and I don't know why I didn't check before buying more to see if I already had some. Sometimes I feel it's going to take lots of time to do something so I tend to not do it or get in a rush and make mistakes, etc . That's a habit I have gotten into, getting in a rush, etc. Must slow down. As a matter of fact I'm in a hurry to get this blog done so I can go to lunch, so it might not make sense. LOL.

I have found what we missed was not that important. The older I get the less I worry. Being a perfectionist is a royal pain and I am so glad I got out of that stage. Report Inappropriate Comment

They aren.t as strong at the expiration date, but I just use more instead of throwing them away. I guess I'm just cheap. Report Inappropriate Comment

I have spices that are decades old. I can't bring myself to toss them because I like the older containers. Gotta get a plan! Report Inappropriate Comment

This day passed fast

Sunday, September 09, 2012

This day has flown by and Monday will be here shortly. It went good today for me. I did get to walk about 40 minutes. The weather has cooled down some especially at night and in the morning. Really pretty weather here in Western North Carolina. Hope you have a good night and a good Monday morning.

Yesterday was a day on the road for us but we are glad to be at the cabin and enjoying this cool mountain morning rather than another hot and sticky day in FL. Let's have good days all this week - ok with you? Report Inappropriate Comment

Early to rise

Saturday, September 08, 2012

Woke up around 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. It's been a productive morning tho and I have gotten a lot of things done. Hope you have a good day and have some fun this weekend. It will be back to work on Monday before we know it.

It's going around. I woke up at 3:30 after going to bed at 11:30. After an hour of trying to go back to sleep I got up, and this has been a very productive, active day. I had to wait until 6:40 to take the dogs for a walk (2.2 miles) but the sun was still not up when we got back. Glad you had a good day in spite of the early start. Report Inappropriate Comment

Hope you get a good rest tonight. It's hard getting thru the day when we're sleep deprived. Report Inappropriate Comment

Both RB and I have been doing that all week! And then we find ourselves napping in the chair after dinner. Report Inappropriate Comment

Sometimes I wake up too early, too. Good of you to put that time to good use. Hope you get well rested before work requires your presence. Take care, Pat. Report Inappropriate Comment

I am a poor sleeper at times when my mind is active. I get up early too. Report Inappropriate Comment

Chuck roast be gone

Friday, September 07, 2012

I am going to fix a chuck roast for the weekend. But it is not filled with a lot of fat so I can have a few bites of it. 4 or 5 only. Just read a blog about fat and chuck roast was mentioned as one of the items that has a lot of fat in it. If I can get it together, I might not have any at all. IT will depend on how bad I want it and if I feel like I'm depriving myself I will have a little bit. Otherwise I will let it go. Will let you guys know if I do or do not. Not much going on here at the office. I'm glad we're having a quiet day as we need one. Continue to Spark and have a great weekend.

If you trim the fat a small amount eill not ruin your program. Report Inappropriate Comment

When my hubby wants pot roast, I often have one ounce of it, a small potato, several carrots, and an onion. Sometimes I cook celery or green beans in with it, too. I usually add either fat free cottage cheese(which he'd never eat) or low sodium pinto beans (which occasionally he eats) to get enough protein. We are both happy with that. London broil is a lower fat beef. Sirloin is about the lowest fat steak, if I remember right. Take care and enjoy whatever you decide to eat!! -Marsha Report Inappropriate Comment

sometimes you just need to have a great piece of meat! enjoy it -- you'll be fine! Report Inappropriate Comment

DONNABRIGHT 9/7/2012 2:18PM

A small portion of chuck roast is ok - jsut watch your total for the day. Round it out with lots of veggies and you will be fine! Report Inappropriate Comment

Letting it cool in the fridge will harden the fat so you can toss it out. I hope that is helpful. You probably already know that. do you have veggies planned with the roast? Chris Report Inappropriate Comment

Out in the field

Thursday, September 06, 2012

Late blogging as we went out in the field today and I wasn't in the office where I could Spark. Have a good night.
