Today will be a “catch up day” for me. Laundry, picking up house, working on my self-assessment. Although the 5k training plan states that if “you are new to training today could be a rest day for x-training”, I did ride 20 minutes on my recumbent bike (yay me!!).

Breakfast – scrambled eggs and piece of gluten free toast

Lunch – most likely…[Read more]

I am done training for yesterday and today so I’m all caught up.

I’m not doing a formal 5k. I’m just going to map out a route and walk it! The details about how to do the 5k are forthcoming but you don’t have to sign up for a formal 5k if you don’t want to. But if that’s fun for you, you definitely should!

I was thinking there’s a few of us close enough to meet up maybe? I dunno…whaddya think? 😉

I just signed up and did not do my 15 minutes walking today.  I will double up tomorrow and do Monday and Tuesday stuff.

Did you get some vacay planning done this weekend? I think you must have as it’s not on your plan anymore!

I had a good day! I got my walking done. Everything I ate was sooo yummy too.

For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions.

For lunch I had a PB&J quesadilla on half a high fiber tortilla.

For snack I had a lunch meat roll up.

And for dinner I had Cajun sausage and peppers.

I also prepped some spicy breakfast burritos for…[Read more]

Yep! That definitely counts as your 5k walking! 🙂

Sorry they screwed up. Hopefully they’ll make it ridiculously easy for you to reschedule.

It looks like a busy day today. Working about 4 hours and then cooking and tidying the house for a Labor Day family birthday cookout this afternoon.

Breakfast was yogurt and it looks like lunch is going to be cheese and grapes. Were doing steak in the grill for dinner with a brown rice casserole and watermelon.  That should met my goal of…[Read more]

Lol, I love it when you’re nosey!!!

Dinners – posted today’s dinner in daily check in (smoked beef ribs and marinated mushroom and tomato salad)

Turkey sausage and cannellini bean casserole

Ole chicken and bean stew

Whole roasted chicken with potatoes and brussel sprouts

Breakfasts – Savory Broccoli and Cheese Bread Pudding and scrambled…[Read more]

Ok, totally bummed since today didn’t start as planned. I was eager to get started with designing a workout plan today and had scheduled an appointment for 10:30 a.m. this morning at Planet Fitness. Got there and was told that the trainer was off today AND the person listed on the website didn’t work there. The staff person totally apologized and…[Read more]

Happy Labor Day!

Today is laundry day for me. Plus “flip the mattress over” day since my husband is off and can help me out.

So, laundry and what I can get done in our home office to start cleaning it out.

Breakfast will be an omelet

Lunch the chicken salad I made yesterday

Dinner is still undecided

I’m adding extra time to my walking today…[Read more]

I did great this week.  I did an hour each day at the Y and got all my protein in.

Thank you.  That link is just what I was needing.

Well, yes, for the mini-pledge…but I hope that isn’t the end of you using the Weekly Plan forum!

I’ll be tallying up stuff on Tuesday. I THINK there were maybe 6 of you who did the mini-pledge all the way through (don’t quote me on that as I’m only going by memory) so I think the odds are ever in your favor! 😉

Best wishes for an uneventful procedure, Sue!

I found this article that has a good breakdown of carbs, and at the bottom is a big old list of complex carbohydrates for you to try: http://www.livestrong.com/article/27398-list-complex-carbohydrates-foods/

I hope that at least gives you a starting point. I’ll look forward to hearing how things are…[Read more]

That last paragraph…that’s the crux of everything. There is no such thing as a perfectly executed plan. Something always happens that we don’t anticipate. It’s how we respond to those situations that makes or breaks our end-goal.

I think you’ve got a pretty good attitude about it all.

Good luck with your first week of school!
