I’m so glad you double checked before starting the training!

Welp…I hereby nominate you as the CMO (chief motivating officer). Should you accept this duty, you’d be helping us all stay the course on this thing and acting ridiculously proud of every little thing that we do. (aka Channeling your “Inner Nik”)

Of course you are free to decline…[Read more]

I didn’t make it yesterday so today will be McD’s salad but I have the stuff to make it tonight. I think I’m gonna go with my Power Chicken Salad.

Yay!

I see you there with the gluten-free toast. Good for you for kicking wheat out of your life again!

I’m glad you were able to do the bike, but take it at your own level, always. I’m glad we are doing this. I’m motivated!

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? 😉

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.

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]

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!

<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?
