  • What do you use for organization? I am an EXTREMELY unorganized person. like VERY!

    The things I need to organize the most are:

    Finances
    Schedule
    Ideas
    My Home.
    Work Projects

    In the past I have occasionaly go on “binges” where I will try and orginize evertyhing at once and then i get overwhelmed and quit. I recognise this and I am trying to…[Read more]

    Today I am trying to keep things a little open until I see what work is gonna be like.

    Breakfast was Eggs and toast
    Lunch protein drink
    Dinner Twice baked potatoes and leftover Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto

    I want to get to bed a little earlier than usual because tomorrow is my “Meeting day” I spend the entire day in meetings and I need to be…[Read more]

  • I’m not even sure what day it is anymore. We have officially started Launch Season aka Konica falls off the planet. From Yesterday till after the first of the year work weeks top out at 60 hours (this year may be more) per week. so I am going to be taking this easy and work myself into it. I’m going to be nicer to myself than I have in years…[Read more]

  • Stress is definitely starting to take a toll on my husband and I. He’s eating too much and everything I eat or drink makes me feel sick to my stomach. Where I used to get about five hours of sleep a night, in the last two weeks it’s dropped to three. If his work would just tell us what’s going on, I could handle whatever it is. It’s the not…[Read more]

  • I was just thinking about 9/11 myself this morning.

    Today’s a repeat of last week’s days. I’m still working on cleaning out the home office. I was obviously being extremely optimistic to think I was going to finish it in a week.

    Walking, push-ups and planks are on the schedule.

    Heading to my local library to renew my card. Being in the process…[Read more]

  • Where to start, where to start?

    Walking, of course. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t walk! I started push-ups at the end of last week and will continue adding one to each set until I reach 25. Starting on the plank challenge Monday morning.

    Continuing to work on not grazing my way through the day. I was doing well with that until Saturday when…[Read more]

  • It’s a gorgeous day in central Texas, also! Sunny and actually not too hot!

    Today’s been a lazy one. Church, lunch out and a nap!

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake (running late for church)

    Lunch was a beef tostada without the crunchy tortilla (think mini taco salad)

    Dinner will be leftovers

    Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet

  • My nutritionist wants me to eat between 1300-1500 calories and have my carbs at around 100 grams. 50% of every meal is supposed to be protein. That’s all the guidance I have received. I have problems with getting above 1,000 calories most days which I know isn’t enough for how much I walk.

  • I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Nikki!

    I’m having one of those mornings. In the wee hours, the lady that lives behind us let her dog(s) out. She turned on her backyard flood lights. Which woke up our dog who decided going out was a GREAT idea. Usually she wakes up my husband (he of the middle of the night Milkbones) but apparently this time it…[Read more]

  • Same ol’ stuff.

    Rumors are as flying all around my husband’s work. The one that’s really picking up steam is about the layoffs on the 19th. Targeting the longer term employees who still have the pension plan. Of which my husband is one. Cut the employees that will cost the company down the road (and happen to have the bigger paychecks) and then…[Read more]

    OK, so today was today. I got my migraine under control super fast (Woohoo Score one for the Daith Piercing) I got kids off to school ready for picture day with money and cold lunches in hand… other than I did have to run one kid out his lunch in my bare feet. I napped. then I went to work.

    You all are gonna be SICK of hearing about Launch…[Read more]

  • Slowly, very slowly! However I discovered all the boxes that I was dreading going through are full of my mom’s cookbooks. I’m going to hold off on going through them and let my kids go through and pick out what they want.

    Meals have definitely been on the quick and easy side, but I have also managed to keep them healthy.

    I’m getting in too many…[Read more]

    1. I was going to say not well at all, but that’s not exactly true. So far, 5 of the boxes I’ve gotten to are packed with my Mom’s cookbooks. I’m going to let my kids go through them (all but my oldest who’s in Boston. I’ll go through them and pick out any vegetarian ones for her).  Afterwards, I’ll donate the rest to the local charity store. I…

  • I’m pretty much  diving in head first. I think that I will start at the door and try to work my way around the room. However, that’s very much subject to change!

  • I’m sorry you’re feeling so lousy!😢

    Today, so far, has started well for me. We’ve had a cold front come through that dropped our temperature from 98 on Tuesday to 78 yesterday. We woke up to 53 degrees this morning!

    I could really just cut and paste my days in here. Cleaning out the house, steps and liquids.

    I am working on the self assessment…[Read more]

    @nikki-massie The cleaning lady stresses me out because my Mother-in-law stresses out when she comes. She is a “friend” that she pays under the table to come and vacuum and clean the toilet once a week. She is supposed to be doing a lot more but she doesn’t. There is a joke that goes around about how she doesn’t look up if she can’t see it at eye…[Read more]

  • Actually, that’s a great idea! As I forgot to get milk when I went grocery shopping yesterday, I’m going to pick up some baby carrots and the such when I go get milk. I’d love to eat fruit but find it’s best if I have it at the end of a meal to avoid that special drop in blood sugar.

    today I have 2 goals

    1.not freak out at people.
    2. find some organization.

    I am in a “people are dumb” mood mostly thanks to work. When you have to sift through 10,000 tweets and 9,900 of them are wrong wrong wrong and bigoted and hateful it takes a toll on my spirit. also, I am in a “why can’t people just be nice? is it really that hard?”…[Read more]
