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!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Still cleaning out the house. More yard work today. Lots of listening to my husband talk about what’s going on at work.</p>
Breakfast never happened

Lunch – I made some chicken salad and had a protein pudding for dessert

Dinner will be my husband’s seafood gumbo. He has it simmering on the stove and the smell is…[Read more]

Happy Sunday, Maria!

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear about your triumphant return to Planet Fitness. 😉

Woot! I think with as many steps as you get each day, the 5k training will be a breeze. Just to let you know how I’m approaching it, I am just adding whatever they say to do for a day atop the walking I was already doing. I figure if I do that, then I am truly challenging myself. I hope that helps!

Good luck with everything. You’ve been handling…[Read more]

Your enthusiasm makes me smile 🙂

Look at you! So efficient!

Ok just because I’m nosey…what are the meals you’ve planned?

Mini pledge check-in! I didn’t do as well as I had hoped on getting liquids in. Actually, I stunk at it. But, hey, from where I am now, it can only get better! ?

Started the day by sleeping in for a change. Then up and busy. The hope is to get some outside things done over the weekend. Mowing and trimming the yard and moving some plantings around to make room for some new crepe myrtles we bought for the front of the house. However, while the temperature outside isn’t all that terrible, the humidity is a…[Read more]

I love that you’ve had such a good day. THANK YOU for sharing it!

Ugh this is so ANNOYING! I wrote a whole response and POOF! My Safari app quit. Bah!

Anyhoo…

Mannnn I been a bit crazy! Got a promotion but still have a foot in my old job. Which has been a bit nuts. We are an international emergency response org and so both my current jobs (Staff Writer and social marketing manager) get nuts during things…[Read more]

LOL. I don’t know if you thought that I was going to oppose this message, but I totally agree! Unfortunately this week I’ve been dealing with two instances of massive flooding on either side of the world at ye olde day job: one that people care about and one that people barely know about. So I’m actually just pretty proud of myself that I was able…[Read more]

Busy morning!

Another day of cleaning out the house. Of course, now  that the workers that volunteered to quit are gone, rumors are running wild. The funny thing is, they’re coming from another company location! My husband is getting after work phone calls from friends at the company location two hours from us about what their hearing is going to happen and w…[Read more]

Thank you for keeping me accountable!

The Y has not happened yet. I’m not even gonna lie. But I’m thinking tomorrow is a good day to go. Nothing at all going on tomorrow. 🙂

I dunno what’s up with me today but I have been LEGIT hungry all day!

Usually I try to honor my body when I get like this by doing things like nuts and veggies.

But this is annoying so I’m about to bring out the big guns. Yes, friends. I’m about to eat a Quest Bar.

Otherwise I’ve had a breakfast sandwich and my tilapia with fire roasted…[Read more]
