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]

The cramps finally hit and they were BAD. Had to take prescription pain meds to get a handle on it. Did not do my cross training but today is my long gym day so I will do it today.

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]

That?

Was the most RIVETING daily check-in I have read yet.

Kudos!

Seriously, though. You have a lot going on. One part I can personally relate to is not having much of a life. Folks think I do because I’m always on the internet. But that’s because…I’m always on the internet.

Granted, I do have to work a lot to make ends meet. (One income…[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…

Mid-week sweep!

Ok not to sound funny but since you and I both already know you are executing your plan, after you confirm that…

Please speak more on these savory breakfast cookies…

Mid-week sweep!

You’ve been quieter this week, which I assume means you are back in full grind mode. I’m rooting for you from over here? Can you see me with my cheerleader outfit on? (No…don’t be scared…it’s ok…)

Anyway…how are things going so far? Are you finding you have enough time to get in your meals as you wanted to?  Have the…[Read more]

No mid-week sweep for you. Just hugs and waiting to hear that everything went as planned!

Take care of yourself. You are important to us!

Mid-week sweep!

• 5k training has been coming along. This week tried to throw me some loops. I (gasp!) did cross training at home. I don’t like it.
• Chicken salad did not happen #TheSad but magically lunch happened without any effort on my part so…that’s not nothing.
• I’ve been super tired this week, I think because school has started and I…

Judging by the number of exclamation points that have been in your check-ins this week (I use them too!!!) I think this has been a good week for you, yes?

Still…mid-week sweep! How’s it all going?

I feel like you’ve been a social butterfly this week and have been so busy. But that’s a good thing…

Mid-week sweep!

How’s it going? You checking items off this list?

Mid-week sweep! I see you’ve been doing #2. How are the rest going? You on track?

Mid-week sweep!

I feel like I know the status of everything except the home office. How’s that coming along?

MWAH! (That’s me giving you a virtual kiss!)

Thank you. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Keep moving forward!
