Today has been an interesting day — had an appointment with the oral surgeon and ended up having back molar cut out.  I’m such a baby when it comes to dentists that he did it under general so I couldn’t eat or drink after midnight just in case it was going to happen.  So glad that it’s over!!  I was planning on walking this evening and the we…[Read more]

Started my 5k training.  Walked for 20 minutes tonight — could have gone farther but took my husband and dachshunds.  The dachshunds hadn’t been out walking because of the heat so had to not go to far — their little short legs couldn’t handle it.  🙂  I have cardio and strength training tomorrow so hope to walk again on Tuesday!!!

Breakfast – P…[Read more]

You’ve got this week!!!  My thoughts are with you and your husband as this is a very trying time!!!  Sorry you are having to go through!!!  I know the weather isn’t helping any of this either — fortunately you aren’t close to the coast!!!   Hang in there and trust that God has a plan for y’all!!! 🙂

For the most part I accomplished my goal.  I did miss my check-in yesterday as all I was concerned with was family and friends dealing with Hurricane Harvey.  I honestly thought about needing to check-in but every time I was about to get on my computer something happened  I know that is not an excuse!!!  Checking in should be a priority but the…[Read more]

Today has been a good but busy day.  Went with my husband to a follow appointment on his shoulder replacement.  Surgery was May 31st and today they finally wrote PT orders to start strength training!!!  YAY!!!  I am so ready for him to be able to lift more than 5 lbs.  Of course it is still a long road but I’m building muscle because of it!!! :)…[Read more]

I feel like I understand the difference now and have tried to post in the daily check-in post every day so I guess you can say so far so good!!! 🙂

I so remember the days my boys left for college like it was yesterday even though it was 14 years ago for my baby.  Life did change forever then but I love my life now!!!  I still miss those days when they were home but I love the grand babies that they have given me so that definitely helps!!! 🙂

Today I plan to start walking.  The plan is to go…[Read more]

I have finally sat down and read my messages and realized I was combining Weekly Plan and Check-In into one post.  My brain was just not working or more likely I was just not paying attention like I should.

Today is a low key day for me which is a welcome blessing!!!  I need a somewhat unscheduled day!!

Food today:

Breakfast: Shake  Lunch: Co…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!!! This has been a crazy busy week and a few unexpected things thrown in the mix!!!  Luckily, I have been able to keep my focus and especially around food!!!  Thank you for your clarification.  I went back and looked at everything and realized I was combining the “check-in” posts and the “weekly plan” posts.  I do need to continue to…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!!!  Vacation was great but back to the heat and reality!!! Ugh!! I achieved  my water intake goal!!!  YES!!! It was actually easy as for some reason I was very thirsty!!! I believe my guardian angel was helping me achieve this!!! 🙂

I have totally shocked myself!!’ I have achieved 2 of the goals I set for myself everyday this week!!!! Amazing since I am on vacation.  I need to work more on fluid intake!!! I did make fluid intake 4 out of 7 days!!!

Congratulations Blanche!!! 🙂

I did track my food in My Bariatric Pal this week.  The beginning of the week and end of the week I was much better posting than during the middle of the week.  Several days I didn’t post until the end of the day but finally got that corrected and posted as I went along.   Nikki I was definitely more forward thinking and did a much better job of…[Read more]

I also have coffee and then breakfast but I usually have a protein shake and it usually takes me between 20 & 30 minutes to drink.  I take my vitamins after I eat or else I get nauseous.  I can’t do them on an empty stomach. 🙂

I had plain cottage cheese for lunch today!!!  I wish I had seen this earlier!!!  I will definitely have to try your “doctored” cottage cheese — sounds wonderful!!! 🙂

What fiber cereal do you use?  I’m trying to find one that I like.

Day 2 of posting in My Bariatric Pal!!! Yay!!! 🙂
