365 Day Photo Challenge, Mom's Day Out, Movie Night

12295238_10153287068463946_6261640389320303992_n

Movie night on the big screen.  Our power flickered several times then when out for a split second and our TV didn’t seem to like it.  The bulb exploded.  Made such a loud boom and stunk up the house quite a bit afterwards.  Now worries though because I ordered a new bulb from Amazon and it should be here by Tuesday.

We watched Mom’s Day out which, for the most part, was filmed right here in Birmingham, Alabama. I pulled out my projector and big screen that I use to do power points on. It was fun to sit and watch some of the scenes play out as I’m trying to figure out where the scene was filmed at.  Growing up in Birmingham, I knew where most of it was filmed at.  It was funny though to see a Pelham police car chasing people in downtown Birmingham.

We had seen the movie in the theater when it first came out but I was glad to see that my wife bought the DVD for us to watch it tonight.  I think I laughed just as much then as I did tonight.  If you haven’t watched it I would recommend that you do.  It’s pretty funny I think.

Did not get on the treadmill tonight.  I really think I over did it when I was doing it every night.  I might try it every other night for not and see how my foot reacts to it.

After spending over an hour on my treadmill today I got another four miles in.  My right foot is not doing so good right now.  Looks like I’ll be doubling up on my neuropathy meds tonight to try and head the pain off for tomorrow.

I’m back on the diet today as well.  Actually, I did really well today with all the leftovers in the house.  Maybe I can concentrate on losing more weight without any holidays or birthday gatherings between now and Christmas.

365 Day Photo Challenge, diet, Food, Overeating

_1TH9174

Happy the day after Thanksgiving.  I decided yesterday that with all this food around me that there was no way I was going to be able to resist and stay on my diet.  I was correct.  On both days I had every intentions to watch what I ate but it didn’t take long to realize that I was in trouble.  I should’ve known better than to diet around the holidays.  Anyway, there’s always tomorrow.

Thanksgiving

I’m stuffed to say the least.  I’m thankful that my family is here with me today.  With the kids getting older I’m not sure how much time we have with them.  I know that they will always try to come home for the holidays.

I’m also thankful that I’m still here to be able to spend time with my family.  With the diagnosis of CML my life was changed forever.  I’m thankful for the men and women who discovered the drug and for all those patients who did the case study that allowed the passage of this drug to take place.

We spent time with my wife’s family today.  Tomorrow I’ll be able to spend time with my mom and dad.  I’ll get up early tomorrow and cook breakfast for my family then I’ll start working on a Dutch Oven dish to take to my parents.  This will be the first time that I’ve cooked for the parents in my Dutch Ovens so I’m excited about this.

Speaking of Dutch Ovens, I have a new blog that I would like for you to check out.  It’s going to be full of different recipes that I have gathered over the past several years.  If you like cast iron cooking this will be for you.  If not, then don’t feel obligated to follow.  I posted my first post just moments ago.  https://thecastironblackpot.wordpress.com/

Again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

“Life Goes On!”

365 Day Photo Challenge, Family, Thanksgiving

https://tchphotography.smugmug.com/Birmingham/i-H3RHVmb/A

I can’t believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  This year has moved along so fast and it seems that every year it gets faster and faster.  Christmas will be here before you know it and of course I’m far from being ready for it.

Tomorrow will be spent with family as I hope that everyone else will get to do the same.  Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for what we have and maybe for things that we don’t.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow and have a lot to eat.

“Life Goes On!”

Today was a bust.  I spoke with my doctor and he advised me to not get on my treadmill for a few more days.  If it’s not any better by next week I’m to come to him for some x rays.  With that said I guess I’ll wait until the weekend to try it again.

Treadmill didn’t happen today.  This was our first major cool down of the season and today was hellish.  My boss called me even before I left the house because of an issue.  I rested my foot over the weekend and I thought it was doing better but because of all the running around I did today, by the time I made it home I was in a lot of pain. If I did anything right today was the fact that I did eat right and stayed on my diet.  I might make the treadmill tomorrow eve.
