Craving Crunchy

Lately I have been craving crunchy things.  This is not always a good thing.  I could choose a crunchy carrot or a stalk of celery.  But I do not.  This week, Nut-Thins were on sale for $2 a box. They are not a bad choice for a snack - a couple of grams of protein, good flavor and great crunch all for 130 calories with a serving size of 16 crackers.  

But they are not 'in the box' of my Healthy Solutions program.  ('In the Box' means eating HMR food plus fruits and vegetables only!) I'm doing okay and enjoying happy hour once a week.  But I'm only losing about one pound per week.  And that's without staying 'in the box' seven days.  Just think, if I stayed 'in the box' more, I would lose more.  Something for me to keep in the forefront of my cravings.

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
