I would think the original dentist should fix his mistakes and not charge for it. That is terrible that you have to go somewhere else.
Opal is so pretty with those blue eyes and she looks like a sweetheart.

Good morning! Gorgeous here this morning.
I had such a lovely time last night at the dinner party and got a pretty good sunset picture of the view for Friday. The food was excellent, but I did a really good job of picking and choosing a few bites and came home with a happy belly. I also kept to my goal of one glass of wine during dinner only. It wasn't easy passing up on the Paloma's everyone started with, and some of the bottles of wine were really great ones, but I stuck to my guns. I even managed to get out and get 3 mile walk in before we went. #cruisegoals. I really want to rock that velvet jumpsuit.
Accountability on the movement side...52 minutes of active movement, 10,292 steps. No running in place required.
Today I want to finish up some art projects and Roger needs help sorting door prizes for the golf tourney he is putting on. Not much movement there, so I'll try to work in a walk to maintain my workout streak.
Bites today
B: I ended up with eggs yesterday, so maybe the pancakes today?
L: deli turkey, cheese, Quest crackers
D: Salted tri tip, baked sweet potato, salad
Peace Everybody.

Mornin' Weekenders!
another beautiful day here in Wisconsin, so I'll get out sometime and bike. I also need to plow through a book I won't have time to finish before my book discussion group meets tomorrow (I've been way too busy lately - and this meeting snuck up on me!), but I hope to get at least a good chunk of it done so it won't be obvious that I didn't finish! Food was terrible on Friday night (the party - I blew it, which I often do at these things), but great yesterday, so hopefully it'll balance things out a bit.
QOTD: two vet appts this week, then I'm off to Ohio on Thursday (and then headed to Vermont on Sunday - and back home on Thursday the 30th)
coffee with half & half
plain Greek yogurt with fruit
protein shake
shrimp and salad
hummus and baby carrots and/or more Greek yogurt
taco filling with diced tomato, plain Greek yogurt, and salsa
have a great day, everyone!

Good morning ~ Awww Opal, she's so pretty! I'm on some meds that are upsetting my stomach and taking me down so I wasn't active much at all yesterday. I'm never not able to eat though unless food is stuck. Even when I have an upset stomach, the flu, stressed and upset, I can eat and that I did yesterday. I still had a nice day all in all. Today, my stomach is a little better and I have some plans. We are going for lunch at the golf course and to hit a bucket of balls. The kids are coming over later for dinner. Rob is smoking a pork roast and we'll watch the rest of Jeopardy Masters with them. I need to fit in laundry and a mini clean sweep of the house. I didn't make the oat bars yesterday, but want to make a batch at some point today to eat this week.
QOTD - A very busy work week! We are kicking off Fiscal year end so lots of meetings, a staff birthday, a staff baby shower, a staff BBQ event. Thursday afternoon I have a meeting/dinner in Solvang for a work association - that will be fun. Plus the usual reports and deadlines.
Accountability - 178.0 - deserved and only 4,337 step yesterday I had 2 glasses of wine, 2 pinwheel cookies, a drumstic**** cream cone and wheat thins w/garlic cheese dip. Geez! Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be planned and active.
B- coffee, cinnamon toast and yogurt
l - 1/2 grilled hot dog and a bloody mary
d- BBQ pulled pork, coleslaw, corn on the cob
Have a wonderful day!

good mornin y'all!
not much happening today. Yesterday was nice in that area. Just stayed home. The only bad thing was my mouth. I know I sound like a broken record! The bone that was bothering me poked through the gums. It keeps going back and forth and it's causing a lot of discomfort. I am just so annoyed and angry. The original dentist should've takin care of this. Ugh.
We might head to Walmart as I need some yogurt and maybe some stuff to make my own soup. I am thinking of making butternut squash soup. I tried one of the store bought mixes for broccoli cheese soup and eww. Won't do that again. I just want something different. I'm sick of this stuff lol.
QOTD: what's planned for the week ahead?
I have an appointment tomorrow with the pain clinic. I might go ahead and see if I can get in to see the dentist to get something planned but I'll have to wait to do the actual procedure until I save up enough money. It'll be at least 300 bucks. Most days it's a do nothing kind of day. It's the last week of school here so I'm not sure if we'll have the kids any this week
Opal last night,
Yes, they look like cake-like bars. The base recipe is made with oats, bananas, protein powder, fairlife milk and baking powder. You can add whatever else you heart desires - fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter, yogurt. I need to test it first and if it comes out delicious, then I will gladly share!

Good morning! I've got an easy day ahead of me. I'm planning on a walk and then we have a dinner party with friends who live on top of a small mountain in the east county. I'll try to get a good picture of their view and sunset. It's pretty special. And their house is like 5000 square feet. For just the two of them! I get lost going potty. But they have a ton of family so they really wanted a big house for hosting. Should be real fun.
Accountability for yesterday was Rockstar level. Food was spot on and all zero calorie drinks. 167 minutes of active exercise, 740 extra calories burned, 10,236 steps. And of course I had to run it out in place to get that last thousand in. Amazing how you can do so much exercise and it doesn't count towards steps. Today's goal is to just move to keep my muscles from seizing up.
QoTD: Leaving Palm Springs about 8 years ago. Huge storm. 40-50 foot tall palm trees crashing down into the streets. Wind pushing us all over the place. Torrential rain. I was crying I was so scared. Good thing I wasn't the one driving as well.
Bites today
B: Can't decide yet between eggs and bacon or protein pancakes. Definitely craving a carby feel.
L: rolled deli turkey and cheese
D: Unsure, but the theme is built around Carne Asada so I should be good to go.

Is that baked oatmeal that comes out like a coffee cake? I would love your recipe.

Yes! Masking tape on the windows - I forgot about that! Of course they wrote that, haha

I was at college in your area then and they gave all of the students masking tape to use on their windows. Which the students used to write "Blow me Gloria".
