Thanks for checking in on me!! This week has really taken a toll on me. Needless to say, most of my plans weren’t accomplished. I did manage to make all of my dinners except the one on Tuesday (turkey meatball stroganoff). It’s ironic that I mentioned the curve ball above and it actually did happen in a big way. I’m still not quite over the guilt…[Read more]

I ordered your card and thought there’d be a way to email it to you…but I think they are actually physically sending me a card. (Oy!)

When I get it, I’ll forward to you. Congrats again!

My middle child (aka younger daughter) is coming to visit today through Sunday. She’ll keep me company tomorrow in the waiting room while my husband gets his back injection. Saturday, she and I are going to get up early and go to the zoo while it’s still relatively cool. As I was putting clean sheets on the bed and a freshly washed blanket and…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

I’ve been keeping my walking commitment. Cross-training, not so much. I need to get labs drawn because I swear at the end of the day I am DRAINED.

Also something is going on with my neck on the same side as the shoulder that is messed up (on the same side as the most extensive work was done during my mastectomy). So…the…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

I gotta tell you, you have been like a ray of sunshine for me this past week or two. You’ve just been so upbeat! Please don’t ever underestimate how empowering and motivating that is for others – especially me!

How are things going? It sounds like you are doing well. We just have to figure out how to get you to the gym without…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

You’ve been kinda quiet, which probably means you’ve been super busy. I hope your plan has been going ok. Report back when you can.

MID WEEK SWEEP

How’s your recovery coming along? Is PT going ok?

Seems like you’ve been at or near your eating targets, which is awesome! Can’t wait to hear how everything else is going.

MID WEEK SWEEP

So I was a little worried about you. I know you took your grandson’s fall very hard. I hope that you are feeling better about that. It doesn’t sound to me like it was your fault, but that he’s a little boy and little boys sometimes hit their heads (or worse).

How have you been this week? I look forward to hearing about where you…[Read more]

MID WEEK SWEEP!

So from what I’ve seen you’ve been holding up ok, despite the fact that you still don’t know 100% what’s up with hubby’s job. I’m so proud of you.

Have you been doing that workbook? And what about your other goals for the week? How are those coming along?

@thinkhealthy you have to get the workbooks at her website, http://www.amihungry.com

That is a good question!!!  The main thing is she holds me accountable but I guess because I pay for it I make sure I am there.  We have also become friends and I enjoy talking with her while I’m working out.  As I sit here and think about it and try to answer the question — the main thing that keeps coming back is accountability.  Nothing tha…[Read more]

So what does the trainer do that motivates you to follow through with working out?

Today has been a good day!!!  I have been to do the gym for my cross training and I also walked 20 minutes.  I always feel so much better after I have worked out — just need to motivate myself to do it every day not just days I’m with my trainer!!!  Got my nails done on the way home from the gym and now I’m heading upstairs to work on my craft ro…[Read more]

Today has started somewhat slowly, but I’m starting to pick up speed a little bit. I ate something yesterday that didn’t sit well at all. (I have know idea what as I didn’t have anything new to eat) I didn’t sleep well at all. I’m cautiously thinking things are better today.

I’m making progress on cleaning out the house. As soon as I get the rest…[Read more]

Ok so…a few things.

#1 – I KNOW THIS FEELING! When my daughter was 3 she fell off our front steps (we lived in a townhouse with very high concrete steps) and skinned her entire nose. I felt like the worst parent ever even though it was just a case of three year-old clumsies. So I get that.

#2 – The “I don’t care” mentality is…[Read more]

I will have 92 grams of protein today if I have a protein drink before bed. All I have to do is convince myself to drink It.

I finally feel like I’m making progress with my physical therapy.  I’m able to do all the exercises now.

And I called and got an appointment with my gynecologist.  That was one of my goals for this w…[Read more]

Thank you for posting this!

I’m glad that your path is a little bit clearer. I find it helps me to prioritize things too. Especially when I feel overwhelmed and stuck. (Which is the pits, by the way.)

I’m so glad you’re a member of this community. <3
