Busy, busy, BUSY!!!! Finishing as much cleaning out as possible this week. Some of it is going very slowly as it’s papers and old letters. I was going through letters that I had written to my husband when he was deployed for 6 months the first year we were married (he was gone on our first anniversary). We were SO young! Some of those letters were…[Read more]

IT’S BLEEPING COLD!

And for some reason, out of the blue, my incision started aching. Not sure what that’s about.

I had my usual (sausage egg mcmuffin) for breakfast. I am planning on going to the gym later. Not sure about (super late) lunch.

Btw, I’m going to be on a CNN show! I’ll post the link when I get it.

Today is not going so well. Hubby’s home sick with a stomach bug and I think I have it also.😖 But not, so far, nearly as bad as him. So I’m running behind on everything as we both went back to bed. I will be working hard to get my steps and liquids in today.

Breakfast was some cheerios and blueberries

I have no idea what the rest of my meals…[Read more]

I’m a day late with this, but better late than never! I got all my steps in and even added some additional exercise to meet my goal of adding some twice a week. Today it was wall push-ups. 25 of them to be exact. However, I did fall very short on getting my 80 ounces of liquids in.

I had lunch with my sis and DIL It was a belated birthday gift…[Read more]

I’m tired. Hubby had a bad night last night so I did also. A bit of stress going on about his work. The program he was on ended with 2017, As of lunch time, they (work hadn’t started him on anything else. He was supposed to be starting work for the group in Greenville. We’ll see what happens. Hopefully, it’s just a slow start after the two weeks…[Read more]

Just a quick check-in. Things have been crazy busy in my life and things got pretty much off track. But today I got all my fluids in AND all my steps in! YAY! First time in over two weeks!

I’M GOING BACK TO WOOOOOOOOORK!

(In case you are wondering, this is a good thing. I was SO BORED!)

So the rest of this week is likely to be busy but that’s ok. Here’s what I have of a plan for this week so far:

• Food: I’m going to finish up some chicken soup my boyfriend made with half sandwiches for lunches. We need to grocery shop next…

Happy New Year! I’ve decided that 2018 is going to be my year! This week is all about getting back on track. Tuesday is catch up on housework day. Wednesday thru Friday will be about getting more of my house cleaned out. Getting back to getting my steps and liquids in. Hopefully adding two days of exercise.

It’s been a long time since I posted here. Sorry about that! Things have been crazy here.

I’m battling a mild case of diverticulitis and packing up and cleaning out like crazy! Hubby is sending in his official acceptance letter for the new job today. He’s on vacation until January 2nd and I can see my stress levels ramping up already! 😁

We have…[Read more]

Last few days before surgery and your girl Nikki is STRESSED OUT!

Not by the surgery. That is in God’s hands and I trust His will shall be done. (Still, prayers and positive thoughts, please!)

No…I’m more worried about the stuff I have to get done BEFORE surgery. Namely, all the rest of the email and social communication for my job through the…[Read more]

I would put myself at 90% over this cold. There’s some lingering congestion but the fatigue has gone away. In fact, I was up LATE last night because I have slept so much in the past few days that I wasn’t really tired. Also, I went to the gym last evening and evening workouts always cause me to get a burst of energy that makes sleep…[Read more]

I just love how when I am all like, “I’m gonna start posting every day again!” I get sick and don’t post for a few days. Sigh.

Ok so today. First day back at work after two sick days. Blah.

Food:

1. Sausage Egg McMuffin (at this point maybe I just need to start planning the rest of my day around these instead of fighting so hard against it. It’s…
