Today’s big goal: Call the IRS. (Don’t ask.)

But first…I’ve had some bank account fraud! I get alerts if my bank account balance is low or goes to zero and I did today and checked it and someone has been using my card to take Lyfts all over San Francisco. Here’s the thing that irritates me. If I, Nikki Massie, go out of town and forget to tell…[Read more]

I’m wondering if we’ll see another heyday of daily check-ins. That would be a great thing for this somber Tuesday!

RIP Tom Petty. Your music got me through a lot.

Ok so…I’m determined to get past this mental funk I’ve been in. I think just all the general negativity in the world has been weighing on me. I have a few items I need to take action…[Read more]

Happy Monday! (if there can be such a thing)

Today I’m catching up on all the things I didn’t do this past weekend and should’ve.

My grocery shopping is done. Found out that the the entire chain of stores is out of the only coffee my husband drinks. And it’s their store brand! My store has been sending frantic emails to corporate but corporate…[Read more]

Last week was a bust because I spent a lot of it feeling crappy. I’m determined to turn things around.

• Monday: I’ll walk at lunchtime and then in the evening my daughter and I will go to the gym. She’s interested in learning a basic gym workout she can do so she can (gasp!) go without me! I’ll have left over ratatouille for lunch. I’m making a…

I’m putting the finishing touches on two new ebooks that will go up for sale on Bariatric Foodie (remember, you guys don’t have to buy those because you’ll get access to them as part of your membership).

I’ve got final drafts and I’ve looked at them TOO many times! So I need different eyes on them. I’m going to post the links to them below. Here…[Read more]

I’m just checking in. I have no idea what today will bring and have no plans other than I told my husband that we have to get out of the house and do something to relax. No talking about his job or the house. For a minimum of 60 minutes. I’m sitting in the living room, sipping on a cup of coffee in the quiet. Hubby’s still asleep. The dog is…[Read more]

I’m going to continue to clean out my house this week. I’ve already contacted local charities to see what of this stuff they’ll take. My local library is going to be thrilled!

Getting my steps and liquids in. Both of these have been a major effort for me lately.

Planning meals ahead of time as much as possible. Especially breakfast and lunch.…[Read more]

Well I don’t have much to report from yesterday as I spent much of it in a medicated haze!

I feel better today but my neck still hurts. I think it’s a combo of my mattress and sleeping positions with this expander on my right side.

I’m about to get up and make jelly! Concord grape jelly that is. Then cleaning and then I have to take the girl…[Read more]

Up early this morning to haul a truck load of stuff to the bulk trash collection day. We got there early and sat in the cool and quiet and watched a beautiful sunrise. As soon as hubby gets his shower, we’ll be off to pick up paint and flooring samples for the house.

Food wise, I don’t really have a clue yet. Probably a scrambled egg with turkey…[Read more]
