big hot plans for new year's eve

A neighbor called me and said she thought she smelled something burning.

It even set off her fire/smoke alarm.

We all smelled something "hot" too.

So she called the Fire Department.

Next thing ya know, they are knocking on doors, going though apartments.

Looking for infrared thermal images. Heat seeking on New Year's Eve.

My apartment was a real mess.

Boxes of supplies from my truck...fitness equipment...a stack of dvd's...

I guess I need to clean up a little!

That's a good way to start the New Year - all cleaned up and ready to go.

"Dress-Right-Dress," as they say in the Army.

I guess it was dramatic enough for a temporary distraction.

Back to work, then!

Happy New Year!

Here's to an un-cluttered mind

and peaceful outlook in the new year/decade!

"It's Been A While" ....by Staind.... Now that you mention it, yes it has!

easy dinner

Ever since my bout with H1N1,

Monster Drinks with Protein Mix

are an everyday occurrence for lunch.

Soooo....

What's for dinner?

a frozen ground beef patty

+

george forman grill

=

a little chipotle sauce

a little spicy spice...

...and a salad

with CATalina dressing

and parmesan cheese

The frozen meat is actually good quality, and easy and fast to prepare...

Clean-up is easy, as this grill has removable plates...

The salad comes from a mix in a bag.

No excuse to not have a hot, healthy meal, even at the end of a 12 hour shift!

Enjoy the Blue Moon!

The kittens in the laundry room are finally getting used to people being around.

Ah, maybe one day, they will know we come in peace, and mean them no harm....

Meanwhile, back at the casa,

Two little baby kitties are living

in the laundry room at my apartment complex.

One is so shy - she won't come out for any reason!

And she's the one I love most of all.

Everyone is feeding them.

Can you see her peeking out?
Messy cats!

Here, kitten!

breakfast, lunch and dinner

Black Coffee - Taster's Choice Gourmet Roast Instant

no cream - go figure

Breakfast - an omelette cooking

Lunch is a Monster LoCarb Energy Drink

Mixed with Protein Powder

A double scoop

It dissolves well and makes a pretty good mix

It gets pretty fizzy ✳✳✳✳

The rest of the can - it's a really big can -

I drink during the rest of the day...

A couple of days collection of Energy Drinks

It seems I like Monster LoCarb best...

I actually tried them all - more or less

Not to worry - I recycle!

These two ran and ran as fast as they could....
I could not catch them....

When all else fails....improvise!

from the movie "The Mean Girls"

big girls do cry!

It appears that I have lived through an ordeal.

H1N1 and other changes - at times,

I wondered if I would even survive.

But now, I have a new/different job.

I have new, smaller scrubs and a better outlook.

My hair still sticks up. A cowlick?

It is my goal to post food items on my blog.

Maybe a little HTML here and there.

Like the re-sized video bar!

I really missed blogging. Alot!

Wasn't that how this all started out?

...something, something, something... low-carb something...

Something about if you mess up - even the worst case scenario -

you can regroup and re-start over....maybe with a little help from your friends!

That's it's never too late. And each minute is a chance to choose again.

Clearer vision; better outcomes. It is never just about the food.

Even if you "knew" better and did "it" anyways.

...Ate it, said it, fell for it, omitted it.....again...

A new year, a new decade, and a clean plate.

A new day, this very moment!

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right...

...let us strive on to finish the work we are in... Abraham Lincoln

(but it still applies here!)

A peaceful mind is no small gift!

the obligatory "then and now" pics

 

I've been told I don't look like my pics.

In real life. To my face.

I'm not sure if that was a compliment.

Or not!

I don't know what I weighed before, because I never weighed! Too shy.

I have been losing about 5 pounds a month avg. for 12 months now.

About 60 to 65 pounds total, so far. A work in progress.

For (what will be) a total of 70 - 75 pound altogether.

I just got moved into a new little apartment!

It has a 2nd bedroom, which converted nicely into a mini-gym.

Plenty of room for the treadmill, bike, and weight bench.

It's a very good thing!

49 years old. I'm ok with that.

I am *only* 5'2" but come on - I can't help that!

For crying out loud.

I used to read A Course In Miracles. 

But I became afraid of experiencing the Love that I had only read about until now.

And started to project the most fearful ego things in the world.

Just now starting to understand it on a deeper level.

So now ....

So now I understand that forgiveness IS the key!

What I once resisted, I now "actively" accept.

I once asked (a quote from ACIM) "Would you rather be right, or happy?"

Now, I would rather be happy!

And Love for everyone! STAT!

And please be happy!
