Ok see that last one…LOL!

Good plan. Now go work it!

You know what I call “boring goals”? HABIT BUILDING!

That’s what you are doing. You’re building a habit of eating the proper amount of protein. So it should show up as long as you need until (and even beyond when) it feels like second nature.

Good plan!

Well the McD’s sandwich is a true mystery as the fat in the sandwich theoretically should fill me up fast (any other kind of fat does in very small amounts).

With starchy stuff, basically there are two things going on:

1. It reduces to nothing inside your stomach, so you have room for more of it than other hard proteins which don’t reduce in…

So here’s the wonder of a RNY pouch.

Sausage Egg McMuffin = goes down fine,  noooooo problem.

Protein shake = full after three sips!

But I have a shake this morning NOT the breakfast sandwich so I consider that a win to start off my Monday. 🙂

Today my mission is to nail down a venue for my daughter’s sweet 16. We are so behind the curve! We…[Read more]

Yikes! Sorry to hear that!

I definitely understand the inconvenience of the arm thing. My right arm does the same thing from my big surgery last year. I cannot lift it but so far up and I cannot reach back with my right arm. My doctor is going to put me in PT once my reconstruction is over.

I’m glad you made it through this week! Kudos.

Yay for you!!!

I ordered your card and thought there’d be a way to email it to you…but I think they are actually physically sending me a card. (Oy!)

When I get it, I’ll forward to you. Congrats again!

MID WEEK SWEEP!

I’ve been keeping my walking commitment. Cross-training, not so much. I need to get labs drawn because I swear at the end of the day I am DRAINED.

Also something is going on with my neck on the same side as the shoulder that is messed up (on the same side as the most extensive work was done during my mastectomy). So…the…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

I gotta tell you, you have been like a ray of sunshine for me this past week or two. You’ve just been so upbeat! Please don’t ever underestimate how empowering and motivating that is for others – especially me!

How are things going? It sounds like you are doing well. We just have to figure out how to get you to the gym without…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

You’ve been kinda quiet, which probably means you’ve been super busy. I hope your plan has been going ok. Report back when you can.

MID WEEK SWEEP

How’s your recovery coming along? Is PT going ok?

Seems like you’ve been at or near your eating targets, which is awesome! Can’t wait to hear how everything else is going.

MID WEEK SWEEP

So I was a little worried about you. I know you took your grandson’s fall very hard. I hope that you are feeling better about that. It doesn’t sound to me like it was your fault, but that he’s a little boy and little boys sometimes hit their heads (or worse).

How have you been this week? I look forward to hearing about where you…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

So from what I’ve seen you’ve been holding up ok, despite the fact that you still don’t know 100% what’s up with hubby’s job. I’m so proud of you.

Have you been doing that workbook? And what about your other goals for the week? How are those coming along?

@thinkhealthy you have to get the workbooks at her website, http://www.amihungry.com

So what does the trainer do that motivates you to follow through with working out?
