Yoda's Jedi Journals (aka Yoda's Yammerin's)



Recommended Posts

I wasn't trying to be funny....just different and yes...a lil' Canadian. Although I did eat caribou sandwhiches for lunches when I lived in Yellowknife. (tastes just like roast beef if you ask me!).

And, no....so there are no misunderstandings, (yeeesh Cloe!) I wouldn't realllllly eat a whole hind leg!! ewwww!!!

hehe.

I would love to have Ben & Jerry over for dinner too!!! (that's kinda like saying "do you wanna meet "Smith and Wesson"?....not that I have said that!).

Good resistance to temptation you have been showing Mandi. Yay!

Cloe.....well, don't beat yourself up, you were (are) going thru a difficult time with the evil teen!! Glad u are over the McFs though!!! The fill will likely help as well!

Okay, so I didn't have any more fudge today. We also went out for dinner and I had 2 eggs, 1 piece of bacon and 1/2 piece of toast with jam. (and about 5 of Mr. Yoda's fries). So, not too bad.

Oh, and bought a nice new lingerie set.....vewwwwwy vewwwwwy nice. I needed a new (smaller) one ....as that is what we take my monthly photos in.....*grinz*.....and ya'll wonder why I won't post my pics!!!!!!

Now Wheezy....do you mean "meatballs" made out of moose meat or actual Moose testicles???!!!

(cause I just saw a show on prairie oysters (cow testicles) and ewwwwww!!!).

I had bear balls (not testicles....bear meatbals) once and I did NOT like those at all!! Very very very gamey tasting.

Blech.

Yeah that's what I meant, but I had you guessing. I heard about prairie oysters. Who would ever think, I wonder what cow testicles taste like? I think I will try some......

I had the moose meatballs in a spaghetti sauce. Couldn't tell the difference.

Sorry... I meant to reply to this earlier!

I have never, no! UGGGG!!!! I have never even seen them anywhere, except on tv, talking about them selling them at the Calgary Stampede. I just asked Dan, he's from Calgary... said he's never tried them or knows anyone who has! (he's lucky, cause he would not get any kisses, me knowing what he's had in HIS mouth! BLEH!!!!)

Okay, so I had today off work (federal gov't holiday for the 11th).

I got up bright and early (my day off!!!) to go to costco and get there 30 mins before it opened so that I could get my winter tires put on my car...thinking....how smart am I. Okay, well, much to my DISMAY, about 30,000 other people had the same idea this morning....despite my early arrival, there were already 25 people ahead of me in line. *SIGH*.

So, once they open, I snake my way through the line and get to the counter at 10:15 and I'm told it will be ready by 4:00. OMIGAWD>....I live too far away to just take a cab home (ie. nearby town) and so now I was STUCK. (I did have the foresight to bring a book, thinking I "might" have to wait 30 mins....but NOT over 6 hours!!!).

So, I called Mr Yoda (who did have to work today) thinking he would take pity on me, leave work and come get me to take me home. Nooooooooooooo. WTF????? He merely said, "go home and we'll try another time". But, c'mon, it will be like this ALL the time!!!! So, I called a friend who lives in the city to see if she could either take me home or I could hang with her but her phone was continuously busy for over 2 hrs (she has teens, so go figure!) and so I never got through.

So, not knowing what to do I just started reading my book. After 2 hrs, the guy took pity on me and asked me which car was mine. He then said it it would be ready by 1:30 instead of 4:00. Oh joy. (sarcasm). True to his word, I got it at 1:30, so I "only" had to wait for 4 hours!!!! GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I got home by 2:00.

Okay....so the actual point of this is: I was now STARVING.....since I had my Breakfast (a few bites of toast) six hours earlier. So, on the way home, I thought how GREAT it would be to stop at Wendys and have a burger and fries; something I would likely have done pre-band days to soothe my frustration and anger of wasting all that time ON MY DAY OFF.....you know...make it all okay and worthwhile. (Keep in mind I haven't even had a bite of a burger since early April!). Anyways, I obviously did NOT stop at Wendys because I figured I would only be able to eat a few fries and that would be it.....so I came straight home. So, that is an NSV in itself.

BUT< when I got home I was so damn hungry I went straight for a bag of Salt & Vinegar chips that were in the house.....I ate maybe 4 chips (too fast) and felt icky (caught it in time though!) and then realized....okay...yeah, I have a band....I suppose thank god for the band. But on the other hand, I was thinking, "DAMN YOU DAMN BAND".

I'm a freak. I know it.

And now I have to try not to be pissed off at Mr Yoda when he gets home for not volunteering to come and get me earlier.

What a rough day.

SHADDDUP!!! I know it's all relative!!!! LOL....I mean, I KNOW I don't have a teenager driving me batty....(*hugs Cloe*) but it was still tough for me in it's own way.

By the way...did I mention that I froze my ass off literally on a cold slab of cement while I was waiting in the lobby area? Really...my ass is still sooooo cold......I'm gonna take a warm bath but I gotta wait for it (my ass) to warm up a bit or it will sting when it hits the water!!!

As much as I love Canada and being a Canadian I hate that we live in a climate that puts us through the damn tire changing season. Grrrrrr.

Okay, I vented (see Maria!!!) so I feel better now. I'm gonna go see if I can squeeze in one more chip now!

hehe

:guess

Oh, and By the Way, if you still have that cold/flu thing goin on, this:Banane55: is suppose to do the trick. That is, according to my husband!!! But after today, maybe you'd feel better greating him like this :) !!

Gotta laugh, right?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
