    Yeah. It's weird that I'm getting the notifications and Medusa isn't. I get things like 'this food is high in vitamin A' and 'you have reached your fiber goal for today' popping up too. They appear just after I add the food and will appear in green, orange or red text depending on whether I'm being commended or blasted for my choice. It then vanishes when I add something else.

    Thanks to Medusa I was able to work out how to save a meal. That's going to help!

      So I did my week's meal prep and made out a menu. Talk about stressful. I have to figure out what I want to eat all week. I have to then spread out all my carbs according to my expenditure.
      I made all my sides today. A homemade potato salad (light mayo), a corn bread stuffing, and a spanish rice. Those are my three carbs I get to pick for the week. Protein is either my home made bean and cheese burrito (on wheat tortillas) or 3 ounces of skinless chicken breast strips with bbq sauce. Snacks are low sugar oatmeal, popcorn, low sugar applesauce, almonds and cucumbers/tomatoes with salt and pepper and a bit of vinegar and oil to munch on. I'm trying to start with only a few choices in each category to get the ball rolling. Then I just mix and match. I took this idea from when I was in the hospital and they give you that menu to choose from. It actually works. I can change it each day but I know that whichever combo I go with, I'm still in my nutrition range. I'm doing about 1200 to about 1600 calories a day. And lemme tell you...1200 of what I'm eating is a lot of food when I get to actually eat 4x a day now.

      I didn't want to tell anyone but I was having some issues with my kidneys. The doc ran some more tests and he says everything is ok. But I was so worried. And after I saw the doc today I promised to really try to get all my numbers lowered. I pretty much scared myself straight. Now mind you, I've spent the last 2 hours meal prepping and figuring out the calories of each meal (but now I never have to do it again for those items and I saved the recipe so I can just repeat and eat). One day's worth of crunching numbers means all week I'm good to go.

      sorry wall of text. I'm just happy about the kidneys. Thinking about how my mom died of renal failure and that it could be me was frightening. I've been a mess waiting for the test results. And per my usual, I just sucked it up and got on with life. So doing this gives me control and takes away the fear. Wish me luck. This is week two of my app. :^^:

          Second week of meal prepping and following a meal plan. I feel like I have control over my Diabetes a bit better. Of course I still had the issue tonight of a 89 reading. So yeah, Diabetic meal shakes are getting worked into the mix. But I'm slowly getting the hang of this.

              I have been given the approval to take my FMLA leave after our 6 weeks of layoff for Winter break if I want to. I don't know if I will be able to handle being home for 12 weeks especially the last 6 when KP goes back to work but it's nice to know I have a fantastic boss who is down for ensuring I get quality time and want to come back.

                i have no idea where it came from, but I had the sudden idea today of something to teach my children as a way of getting back at all the harassment for "make me a grandma while I'm still hot" comments.....remember, we should always respect our elders-you know: mom, dad, aunts, uncles, teachers....however, we need to always be kind to the ancient ones-those of course being grandma and grandpa

                        I also have 2 nights off! That means I get to be awake during the day today. There's something big and shiney in the sky. I forget what it's called.

                        Seriously though, I have about 30 hours of stuff I want to do, to fit into the 9 hours of daylight we have left. I'm like a puppy chasing my tail here.

                            This is day 21 of my meal plan and food prepping. My goal is to lose one pound per week.
                            I lost 4 pound so far!

                            It's working!

                            I'm doing iiiiiit!

                                That all sounds awesome, Jem!

                                As for the potential job for you, could you use an alternative way to get there like cycling? I know people don't cycle nearly as much in the UK as they do here, but things are changing and it's super cheap!
