Busy week for sure! I’m glad you like the simple things list. I find it helps me feel like I’m winning if I can do one simple thing each day and say that I did.

What are you going to plant? I’d love to have a veggie garden. Unfortunately, between the birds, the colony of rabbits and my veggie loving dog, it’s pretty much a no go here!

Sounds like you’re making progress, bit by bit.

I don’t quite understand the bit about your husband. Are you saying he has resentment about your living situation and that he believes it’s a result of you caring for your daughter?

I’m glad you didn’t binge. The water…eh. Let’s celebrate the small victories and be thankful that every day we get…[Read more]

Nice!

Well I made a mistake today. I gave in to a chocolate donut. Ugh. I thought I was gonna pass out in church! Lesson learned.

We’re going to a BBQ today so I’ll stick to the protein available. I’ll be back in time for our book club and support call so I won’t be there in the midst of temptation a super long time thankfully.

After I go over…[Read more]

Can you tell us a little about what you are/are not allowed to do as you are healing? By “continue with my healing process” what do you mean? Do you have PT? Or are you taking it easy? Inquiring (and accountability) minds want to know!

I’m so glad everything went smoothly for you. Now it’s time to heal you up!

Get it, girl!

That’s a good idea about walking the airport. I should try that sometime.

Is all the food provided at this trip or do you have some meals on your own?

I’m so glad that everything went well! I’ll be praying that your recovery continues to go well.

That’s beautiful!

I love that!

My foundational affirmation is one my mother gave to me and each of my children at birth:

“You are the descendant of kings and queens and noble tribesman. Only God is greater than you.”

She whispered that to each of us when we were born and I think about that every day as I go into the world. She taught me that kings and queens are…[Read more]

Done. The list of one simple thing to do each day has turned things around for me. Instead of feeling defeated, I’m encouraged and actually made a bit of progress on my short term goal after months of not.

Always Remember… You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined!

Sure!

Today, I actually got all the errands that I planned to do all week done! Started early and got home just after lunch. Now I’m waiting for my husband to get home so I can cut  his hair. That way I won’t be dreading it all weekend!

Shake for breakfast.

A mishmash for lunch. Nothing was really sitting so I ended up having a few bites of several…[Read more]

I’m done. Is it OK to post our affirmation here? I thought it was a good one.

Eh. I mean life sorta planned me today lol.

Breakfast was willy-nilly. Lunch was pre-determined (my office goes out for burgers every Friday) and I was supposed to go to sushi with the kid yesterday but ended up in the ER with the boyfriend so…yeah.

I think if you aren’t a planner, that’s fine. It may be that you just have to be educated about…[Read more]

Here’s the menu for our cooking demo! I’ll post a shopping list over the weekend if you want to cook-along (or just make sure you have the stuff on hand to make soon).

As a reminder, we are doing summer recipes! I especially want to focus on things you can make that are good for you AND that you can share with others at a summer BBQ, so I’ll be…[Read more]
