  • Nice meal plan!

    I need to come to your house for dinner. 😉

  • 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]

  • Good Morning and happy Monday!

    Today is a catch up day for me after having company since Thursday and a very busy weekend. Laundry and cleaning house is my plan for today. Getting my steps and push-ups in (planks are going to have to wait until I’m not quite so sore from being bent over in the back of a pickup tossing wood out the back.).

    Meals…[Read more]

  • Still cleaning out the house. It’s finally looking like I’m making some progress!

    Food wise, I’m still working out of the freezer It’s starting to look empty.

    Exercise will be walking, of course, and working on my push-ups and planks. I’m not sure how well that will work out at the first part of the week as I’m already feeling a bit sore from…[Read more]

    Busy day. First church and then home to fix a nice lunch before my daughter had to head home. Then over to the house of the guy who shares my husband’s office. He had his big oak trees trimmed and we went over to get the limbs as their fireplace isn’t a wood burning one and ours is. So, we loaded all of the wood into the back of the pickup and…[Read more]

  • 1. 90 grams of protein a day. It’s boring, but I won’t do it it I don’t have it as a goal. I’m at that point in my recovery where I don’t have much appetite.

    2. Go the PT 3 times this week and do my exercises at home every day.

    3. Finish a rough draft of my resume.

  • Got my protein in all but 2 days, so my average is good. And I completed the other goals.

  • Thanks so much @nikki-massie!!! I received my packages yesterday and love everything. PB2 is one of my favorites (especially the one with chocolate) because I love peanut butter. The power crunch bars are delicious and mint chocolate flavor is another one of my favorites!!!

  • I am hoping this week will go much more smoothly than last week. I have an appointment with my therapist on Monday, having a bone scan of my hands on Wednesday and chiropractor on Thursday. I will be picking up my grandson everyday at 1 pm (except Wednesday). All meals are planned for the week and my breakfasts and lunches are all prepped. In…[Read more]

  • So I haven’t posted about it much here, but I am on a mission to improve my environment. When I say environment, I do mean my physical environment. I look around me and everything seems to be junky. I drive a crappy car. My house looks like I’m staying in an Air BnB (read: it looks like I don’t intend to stay very long). I need a HOME! And I need…[Read more]

    Grocery shopping done. Meals planned, some prep done (breakfast and lunch). Worked on my daily schedule for the week with the hope that it goes much smoother than last week.

    Forgot to eat breakfast today, leftover veal and peppers (and a little linguini) for lunch, steak and baked potato for dinner.

  • 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.

  • Nikki Massie replied to the topic Sept 24 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 2 months ago

    Yay for you!!!

  • Plan for this week ….

    Food prep yesterday and today for dinners (crockpot chicken with mushrooms last night) and turkey meatballs (with zoodles for me … spaghetti for hubby).  Lunches and breakfasts are made.  Snacks are planned.

    Exercise – walked today (arm issue kept me from Zumba) and will head to gym for elliptical tomorrow and Wed and S…[Read more]

  • Week was NUTS!  Not only did I have all of the things to do, but I hurt my arm/shoulder (not sure how) and found myself unable to raise my arm past my waist (or sleep either) for a few days.  It is doing much better now (although not completely better) but that effected my workouts (I got to the gym twice) but I made sure that I got my steps in. I…[Read more]

  • My day consisted of a trip to the grocery store with my daughter and lunch downtown at my daughter in law’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was an early birthday celebration (her birthday is Monday) I had a great time with the grand babies and had some good food. Now we’re watching TV and I think that I’m about to head to bed because I have a…[Read more]

  • Where are we???

    Today was a good day. Went to the farmers market, cleaned a LOT, worked on a small house project that’s been waiting to be done for forever. And I walked!

    Eats:

    • Nut snack bar
    • veggie omelet with fruit

    Not sure what we will have for dinner.
