@Apple1 Thank you! And you are so right! Eating is still one of the things I can control. So I woke up this morning with a renewed dedication to continue walking my 900calorie low carb walk. (And honestly, my cals yesterday were still only 1000, but the point is they were not my "lean" cals that feature lots of leafy greens and colorful veggies and lean protein. And I was 100cals over my budget and ate things that just make me want to eat more things.

So today I'm back on track and am about to go make my egg white HFBlack Forest Ham, spinach, rbp and onion scramble, then will have a green smoothie for lunch and grilled chickie boob and broccoli for dinner. And simple as that, I will be back on track. I don't want to backslide all my hard won losses! ((hugs))

All is well. Haven't fallen off my "diet" in any sense, cause I don't feel like I'm on one. Lol. Anywho... @FluffyChix, those two pounds is nowhere near a two pound gain of fat, just stress and most likely salt from the queso and rinds! Yum to the queso....my favorite. Glad you're back on your track!

Well, my tree is down. We had a couple of nice fellows from church come by and help take it down. Bittersweet...sweet that it won't fall on my house now, bitter that I don't have the beautiful shade there anymore. First pic shows the leaning tree towards our tiny little house and second pic, the guys getting it down. Funny thing is...until I ventured outside to give them suggestions they weren't coming up with how to get the tallest part of the tree down, (like get a rope and pull one way while the guy who uses the chainsaw goes at it, etc....then a little later, "hey guys, why don't y'all weaken that limb right there so the tree can fall the other way?" Hahaha!!!! Men...they can complain, but they can't live without us!!! I consider my husband very smart, but I just don't know....when it comes to tree cutting. 😂

Still praying for our Texas neighbors here, can't wait for all this to be over!

So glad that tree is down, and not on your house!!!

I am pretty good with a chain saw. I cut down trees every week in the summer for my research, but I do it in a forest where I don't have to worry about hitting anything but other trees.

That looked like it was a tricky fell. You are right, our men need us to be the brains of the operation sometimes...

Did you get your power back yet? I hope you have or will soon.

It is so sad seeing the huge amount of flooding in Houston.
