Dinner sounds fantastic!! Enjoy your delicious, relaxing day!!

Mornin' All! And happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

we weren't planning on doing much today other than going over to my mother's apartment for dinner (I'm thinking of bringing a couple of poke bowls), but it's so nice out today that I might just have to get out and walk or bike (again!). I ate too much yesterday - stopped for ice cream midway through our bike ride and then went out for street tacos for dinner since I was too exhausted to make anything - but we biked almost 30 miles, so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm sure I worked off most - if not all - of it. I was originally thinking of making a Swedish midsummer cake today to take to Mom's, too - but I may just bring the poke bowls (take out) since I don't want to come home with 3/4 of a cake.

QOTD: not much. Tomorrow I'll go over to Mom's while an occupational therapist is there doing a safety assessment of her apt, since my mother will forget half of what the OT recommends. Then I have to take her to a dentist appt on Thursday. Wine & cheese party on Friday night, so I'll have to make something for that. I spotted a recipe for white chocolate and (freeze-dried) strawberry cookies - I might make those. I was originally thinking ginger snaps, but I can't get those strawberry ones out of my mind. Plus they seem more of a spring thing.

good mornin y'all! Happy Mother's Day!

My brother and family are coming over today. I need to vacuum and clean the bathroom. Then make lunch, which won't be to awfully hard. My mouth is kind of bothering me a lot this morning. So annoying.

Jen, thanks for the suggestion of the ricotta bake! I totally forgot about her website so it should be super helpful.

QOTD: I'm not very creative this morning so let us know what's on your calendar this week?

I've got a phone appointment in the morning tomorrow and then my oral surgery in the afternoon. I'm very nervous over both. The first one is with social security. Wish me luck!

for all us animal moms...couldn't find a decent dog mom one!

Good morning ~ sounds like you are in a positive mood today! I hope you have a good weekend. I slept sooooo well last night it was glorious. Today we are walking little girl into town and checking out a little street fair/car show. After that, grocery shopping, unpacking, cleaning, organizing, laundry and some relaxing. I want to keep moving, so no prolonged sitting of any kind until this evening. We're watching Unfrosted tonight since we are big fans of Jerry Seinfeld and Melissa McCarthy, silly and fun is just the ticket.

QOTD - Working on not being so sendendary - especially after such a lazy week of not moving any more than necessary. I keep seeing Tik Tok posts about people who exercise but then just sit for the rest of the day and not moving. That is me, minus the exercise this last week. Being truly active (which is what I want) is moving about most of the day on top of exercise. This is what I want to change.

Accountability - 180.0 today. Not bad considering all I ate last week without tracking. Moving on and glad to have control back.

B- coffee, scrambled egg, cheddar and low carb tortilla

l - ham and cheese sandwich on protein bread

d- leftover chicken enchiladas

Have a great day!!

Mornin' All!

looks like it'll be a nice day today. Wind speed will be a bit high, but still under 15 mph, so it should be OK for biking. I like to bike when I can for exercise since I'm out for 2-3 hours, and it torches a ton of calories. My eating has been great lately, so I'm hoping the scale is going to be kind for my weekly weigh-in (on Wednesday).

I was hoping to see the northern lights last night, but it was really overcast here, so a no-go. I've enjoyed seeing everyone's photos on FB, though - especially from my (distant) cousins in Scotland and Scandinavia.

QOTD: well, I consider both of these work (since I'm retired), but most people wouldn't - this would be finishing up my classes and cleaning the master bedroom and bathroom so the cat sitter won't have a heart attack when she's here at the end of the month. I could probably get it all done in a couple of days if I put my mind to it, but a little at a time is more palatable.
