I had a shake for breakfast today and things have gone much better. I’ve had a lot more energy today. Lunch was a shrimp cocktail and dinner (presented to me hot and cut up by my hubby), was grilled chicken and green beans. I’m now impatiently waiting for my 30 minutes to pass because I am SO thirsty! It’s still over 100 degrees out and we’re…[Read more]

Thank you note written and mailed.

My weekly goal of only eating “real food” has hit a major bump in the process. I have never been a breakfast eater. From the time I was in elementary school, I have had trouble eating breakfast. When Carnation came out with “Instant Breakfast” it ended a daily battle between my mother and I. I have done battle with my nutritionist over the fact…[Read more]

Relaxing with a coffee and my Kindle! 

Actually, I was just complaining about my day. I have my list and have set Thursday as the first date to check something off. I’m going to take myself out to “Three Spoons Yogurt” and have a low fat/low sugar frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruit

I started my no shakes/no bars today and I must say, it’s been hard!

Breakfast – cheese stick and a little bag of peanuts while my car’s oil was being changed.

Lunch – homemade chicken salad

Dinner – the last of the chili I took out of the freezer (I love my husband’s chili!)

Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet, but I need to get it figured out…[Read more]

Pan grilled chicken breast with caramelized onions, green beans and sliced kiwi for dessert!

I’m also working on what’s best for me. I have 68 ounces of my fluids in already this morning. I have about half of my steps in. Breakfast was a cheese omelet. Lunch will be homemade chicken salad. (probably will make enough for several days) and dinner will be a favorite of pan grilled chicken breast and some green beans. (I hated green beans…[Read more]

Keeping my 2 year old grandson while mom and dad finish moving the rest of their stuff from Killeen.

I just finished the second facial in the link posted. It was the “Steam Facial”. I put in a couple of chamomile teabags I had. I enjoyed it thoroughly! It smelled so nice. For the cooling washcloth, I dampened a washcloth and put it in the refrigerator during my “steam” time. I admit that I had to giggle during this. It’s 100+ degrees outside,…[Read more]

I’m excited about this!

My treat for today was a nap! After keeping my 2 year old grandson yesterday, I needed one. So, apparently, did my dog, who joined me at some point! 😁

Well, I think that I have figured out what was causing me to be so queasy all the time and my digestive uproar. Inulin. I know that I’m sensitive (very) to it. So, in my efforts to figure out what’s been going on, I have been reading every ingredient label of everything that goes into my mouth. Up to and including my tea bags! And there, in the…[Read more]

After clearing out my inbox a few days ago, I was looking forward to this one! Many have been unsubscribed too with more to come as they arrive!

I’ve spent most of the morning reading. Some, definitely for pleasure, other, looking for a solution to my digestive problem. I’ve spent a major chunk of the day reading about the Whole30 plan and how it seems to be a decent place to start in finding out what the heck is going on!
