I decided to go with the most navy most striped outfit I could find in my wardrobe. I even impressed myself, I have shoes that match my theme.

I have wanted to try this soup for years. When Carla Hall was on Top Chef she made this and everyone went nuts (pardon the pun) for it. I think hers might have been a vegetarian version. I’m going to look it up and see how hard it is to make, thanks for the reminder. *edited to add a link to hers. It has a lot of ingredients, I think I’ll make this in winter.

You can get it on Amazon, I don’t know what it costs in stores but it was priced 11 to 14.

Wait, Aldi’s HQ is not only 4 miles from me but is in the same town! This is pretty much a bedroom community with a population of around 27k. Looking back I have noticed they sponsor some community events, but I figured it was just the store not the corporation. I’ve lived here 6-7 years. They either keep a pretty low profile around here or I am oblivious. Ok, I just asked college kid, he looked at me like I had 3 heads when I told him I didn’t know. I’m going to ask my husband tonight, I really hope he doesn’t know so I’ll feel better.

Lol I just googled it, I live 4 miles from their corporate HQ, no clue. I learn something new everyday! I am only 1 mile from a store. This is going to sound bad. I thought it was a discount grocery store with off brands expired food and dented cans. My college son worked at Fresh Market for 2 years, (recently quit) He said: I’m not sure what my major is, but it is not going to be grocery store related! They think they know it all at 20.

I love duster sweaters, it looks great on you. I always think of Bea Arthur/Maude because that was the first time I ever saw one. (That is not a negative thing)

I was mistaken, I didn’t have 2 Dexa scans. I had something called InBody 520. It looks like it isn’t as accurate. I didn’t pay for it directly so I don’t care. I know how much each of my limbs weigh though! @FluffyChix Happy Birthday!

I went to Aldi for the first time in my life last night, I had no idea they also owned Trader Joe’s!

Road trip today so unsure if I will have time to do squats or workout. Mini goal, use less sugar free creamer in my coffee, or...

My Doctor does a before, a 6 month and a one year Dexa scan. I never got the before one because that appointment was right when they were moving and it wasn’t unpacked. I don’t remember my numbers from 6 months or even from last month! I do know they improved a lot. If I recall correctly I am on the high normal side. The word normal is not usually associated with me so I’ll take it.

Those look great on you, I love red.

The worse part is feeling like you peed your pants. I’m surprised they just didn’t give you a Xanax when you checked in, but I’m not a medical professional! Breathe, and maybe listen to a calm meditation app with earphones on in route and in waiting room.

Did you raid my closet? I went for a walk to Target tonight and couldn’t resist picking this up for my granddaughter. I’m totally going to do a matching picture with her when she grows into it.

Does anyone else have these workout pants? I can’t decide if I like them or not. I’m not used to having anything loose on when I’m exercising but they are very comfortable and have pockets! Under Armour

Squats done, but I had to take a break. No haters that I am aware of, I’m unsure if I have any “fans” but a lot of people are proud of me. Omg, Kathy Bates was so good in Misery! Here is a pic from July of my shoes in action. They have paint splatters on them now, but they are so comfortable I’m not in a hurry to replace them.

It’s so hard to tell because the length makes them so exaggerated. I really like the way they look and fit on your waist. They are stripes, of course I like them.

Movie: I’m taping whatever insipid Hallmark movie is on tonight. I watch them on my iPad in bed. I probably end up watching 1/3 of them depending on level on insipidness. Went for a 5 mile bike ride tonight, it is perfect weather here. 74 and sunny today. Peer pressure. None, I have a very supportive family and great friends. I chose to quit drinking 4-5 years ago and nobody ever pressures me to eat or drink anything. They let me be me and I appreciate that.

We get these at Costco, I can’t believe they are so low in calories. I usually can finish 1/2 of one which is great if I get hungry in between meals. I used a ruler to show how big one stick/serving is. Edited to add, these are not jerky. Brand is Greenridge Farm.
