Today has started somewhat slowly, but I’m starting to pick up speed a little bit. I ate something yesterday that didn’t sit well at all. (I have know idea what as I didn’t have anything new to eat) I didn’t sleep well at all. I’m cautiously thinking things are better today.

I’m making progress on cleaning out the house. As soon as I get the rest…[Read more]

Ok so…a few things.

#1 – I KNOW THIS FEELING! When my daughter was 3 she fell off our front steps (we lived in a townhouse with very high concrete steps) and skinned her entire nose. I felt like the worst parent ever even though it was just a case of three year-old clumsies. So I get that.

#2 – The “I don’t care” mentality is…[Read more]

I will have 92 grams of protein today if I have a protein drink before bed. All I have to do is convince myself to drink It.

I finally feel like I’m making progress with my physical therapy.  I’m able to do all the exercises now.

And I called and got an appointment with my gynecologist.  That was one of my goals for this w…[Read more]

Thank you for posting this!

I’m glad that your path is a little bit clearer. I find it helps me to prioritize things too. Especially when I feel overwhelmed and stuck. (Which is the pits, by the way.)

I’m so glad you’re a member of this community. <3

Congratulations! 🎈🎆🎇🎉🎊

That kind of tired makes perfect sense to me, Nikki. Sometimes I can’t even remember the last time I wasn’t that tired. But, because you can still function, you just keep on going. Yup. You have described my life!

Push-ups and planks are done (I have to confess, I seriously thought about skipping them today) and I have less than 1000 steps to go…[Read more]

Congrats, Bev!

My planning paid off, at least for today. I had my 6 month check up this morning with my bariatric surgeon and he’s extremely pleased with my progress and impressed on how well my bloodwork was. He said to keep up with what I have been doing. I talked a little with him about how it seems that I’ve become lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant and…[Read more]

@robin-miller, I could only find these books on Amazon. Are either one the correct one? If not, would you let me know where you got yours. Thanks.

Thanks Nikki!! It’s just that sometimes life throws us a curve ball no matter how well planned/organized your day is scheduled. I’m just trying to prepare myself in case this happens. I do have quite a few scheduled dr appointments this week therefore I want my daily plan/schedule to play through without any hiccups, but also need to face reality…[Read more]

This should be a quick report for today.  I’m a little short on my protein goal. I have 85 grams instead of 90. That is an improvement on last  week however.

I have started doing some research on writing a resume after you have been out of the job market for many years. I think doing the research will give me some confidence.

Were you around last year when I did the study of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book? (I think you were.)

If you were, you’ll know why it makes me HAPPY that you have the workbook and are doing this. That book single-handedly changed my life! My outlook on how I eat is so much more realistic now than it was before and I owe that to Dr. May! 🙂

Very nice plan!

I’m very encouraged by your recovery from your surgery. I hope PT isn’t too taxing.

Also, good idea to work on your resume during this time. You’ll definitely be ready when the time comes to start searching.

I’ll be back by on Thursday for the mid-week sweep!

You know what I love about this plan? You defined what you think definitely might happen vs. stuff that is dependent on situations outside your control. THAT is success, lady!

Sorry you have such long days. I hope that next week’s plan involves something relaxing (a mani/pedi maybe?) as a way to reward yourself for getting through all…[Read more]

Your meals sound yummy!

My only comment on your plan is that #’s 1 and 3 seem a bit at odds with each other. You’re saying you will follow the plan…but then you’re saying you won’t go nuts if you don’t follow your plan.

So long as that doesn’t result in stress for you, I’m ok with that. But I want to make sure Maria is being kind to Maria.…[Read more]

I’m telling ya…the actual physical planner has changed the game for me!

Don’t even ask me why but it has. Plus it’s a coloring book planner. I am itching to get some colored pencils to get started on that. I feel like it’ll help me relax more.
