Well, we've finally done the 'big flip'.
I've got a turkey breast in the oven. I have no idea how it's gonna turn out. Hopefully ok. I keep saying I'm a baker, not a cook. We'll see what happens.
John got most of his teeth pulled, so I made a point of cooking the turkey with the lid on, so it has less chance of getting dry.
Today I haven't even broken a thousand steps yet. It's not quite noon. Gonna see if the ground is frozen, and if it isn't, plant onions.
I think I ate something that disagrees with me. I've now thrown all 'old' meat away. Also other old stuff. There's now a lot of room in the freezers.
I hope this goes away quickly. I feel like proverbial shit.
Only 6k steps today. But I'm wiped out.
On the plus side, my orders from Amazon arrived. Got a meal planning book, and a grocery list pad. I'm hoping meal planning and proper grocery shopping will help prevent the freezer chaos we had. It would be good to only have freezer items in the freezer, not leftovers that will never be eaten. or meat that we'll use 'later'. Might wind up with some kind of excel sheet for helping with rotation, and knowing what we have and might need.
So, while I've been working, I haven't really been taking my walks.
And now it's too cold.
But I've usually been getting the "AMA recommended 10K steps per day"
Still need to work on balancing input/output for calories. I'm really wanting to lose weight, and it's not happening. So with the move, I will probably give in, and do meal planning. Because that will help. And not buying random groceries will be good. With the store less than 3 minutes away, it's too easy to just grab some random thing. The nearest grocery store to Woodstock is at least 15 minutes away. (Pipestone)
I just ordered a meal planner book from amazon. along with a grocery list pad. I'll check with Yia if we should add anything to that order.
Oh, my feet bones are starting to shift, depending on how I'm sitting/standing. It's not the best feeling in the world. blah.
banged my finger on a door frame the other day, and now my hand has a low grade ache all the time. :(
My car is now under 2 years on the loan left. assuming I don't hit it with a massive payment at some point. I could actually finish that up with my savings, if I wanted to.
Made soup today.
Chunk of pork, a yellow onion, two potatoes, two packets of pork gravy mix, half an acorn squash, a grind of black pepper, and enough water to cover. Set it in the crock pot on medium for 6 hours. Nothing is mush, but everything is super soft. It worked really well. I just wanted to make sure I put the ingredients down on 'paper', so I don't forget it. I almost forgot the dash of hickory liquid smoke. not sure of amount. Just a bit.
Just did a bit on the porch. brought stuff off.
Pulled down one of the shelves in John's office. got 4 boxes of stuff already ready to go. for a week from now.
sigh.
