No infection just extremely bad allergies. She’s in surgery now to drain the hematoma. The vet will give her an allergy shot that should relieve things for up to 2 months. She’s be able to come home in a couple of hours with antibiotics and pain meds. Plus a cone. THAT will be a new experience for all of us!

86 ounces in, currently having my snack before bed and I was unplugged most of the day. I actually ran errands and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I had left my phone at home! All food was made, portioned and eaten at home.

I don’t know what’s going on with me. I wake up with plenty of energy, but by lunch time, I’m barely dragging myself through the rest of the day.

Steps and liquids are in. Shake for breakfast, I don’t think that I ever ate lunch and some homemade shrimp scampi for dinner.

I definitely think this challenge has helped. My weekly goals before this challenge were to get my liquids in everyday. I was struggling with that. Now I’m hitting my liquids goal consistently.

As for the no eating 60 minutes before bed, I’ve learned that I have to have it no farther out than 30 minutes or I’ll be awake in the middle of the night…[Read more]

I’m tired today and have no idea why. But, steps are done, liquids are almost done.

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake mix with coffee and heated up

Lunch was some homemade chicken salad and some apple

Dinner will be meatloaf and green beans

And bedtime will be early!

80 ounces in, unplugged most of the day. I ended up having to get up and have a snack not long after I went to bed last night. I had my snack just before bed so I could sleep through the night, but before I made it to bed, my husband and I had an unexpected adventure. He was out back letting the dog have one last trip to do her business and caught…[Read more]

My non-negotiables  :

my walking. I need to not only for exercise but to reduce stress

My vitamins and supplements

my liquids

at the moment, grains and starchy carbs (other than dried beans)

The last item is due to the fact that I have learned the hard way that not only do those cause me to have a rapid weight gain with a very small…[Read more]

I’m finishing up ounces 61-80 at the moment. I’m quite sure I will be having more throughout the rest of the day as it’s just 3:20 here.

I’ve been unplugged for several hours already today.

My eating was all out of whack yesterday with the birthday party. Dinner was early and I didn’t eat much. Actually, I didn’t eat much at all yesterday. Which…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m in recovery mode. It was close to 100 degrees here yesterday and part of my grandson’s birthday party was held outside. Today I’m running errands and catching up with the laundry that I usually do on the weekend.</p>
Breakfast is a Celebrate chocolate mint shake (I think that I have become seriously addicted to to…[Read more]

It’s 8:20 in the evening here and I have literally been going nonstop since 5:45 this morning. Today was my grandson’s birthday party. Some came early, some came late (the party was scheduled for 2-5 PM). Everyone left late. Like over two hours late. I’ve finally finished picking up and cleaning up and now am enjoying a little bit of peace and…[Read more]

I’m at 68 ounces so far. I’ve also been unplugged for most of the day as we’ve been busy getting ready for our grandson’s 2nd birthday party to be held at my house tomorrow. The moving my snack closer to my bedtime has definitely improved my sleeping!

80 ounces of liquids in. I’m sleeping at night now that my snack is closer to the time I go to bed. I was unplugged from technology for most of the day today.

Sorry I haven’t been checking in. I’ve been prepping for my grandson’s birthday party this weekend. Today’s actually his second birthday but Sunday was picked for his party as no one has to work that day.

Breakfast was a Celebrate chocolate mint shake

Lunch was some cooked out link sausage and a cheese stick

Dinner will be chicken fajitas

I’ll be finishing up with at least 88 ounces. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’m having my snack at bedtime so I can actually sleep! As for this week’s challenge, I was unplugged for most of the day.
