It's Whats For Dinner

Mushroom Risotto with spinach and salsa.
Ten years ago, when I was losing weight with Mercy Weight Mgt and HMR products, one of my favorite dinners was their Mushroom Risotto. I was so excited when I saw that NutriSystem had included their Mushroom Risotto in the Turbo Start box.

Today as my sixth dinner, I cooked a couple of cups of baby spinach, Mushroom Risotto and topped it with Chi Chi's Salsa.  Just like I learned how to like it so many years ago.  It was delicious and more importantly, filling.  The dinner in the photo is less than 300 calories!

I'm really starting to feel better and am glad I chose to do this for myself.  I know that a pre-packaged food plan works for me.  The cost will keep me true as I cannot waste this kind of money.

Speaking of money, I just found out that Costco sells Nutrisytem gift cards AND they are on sale until tomorrow:  $100 card for $55 (usually $79) I bought some for myself so next month's food order cost will nearly be cut in half!  Win Win!

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.
