  • Color Coding. Work projects I use the clear plastic file jackets so that I can organize them by priority or similarity (I have too many projects and not enough colors to have one color per project and get them all filed).  As I take notes, I change colors of pens to separate the dates so I can find it. I have a three ring binder with tabs so I…[Read more]

  • Hope you feel better soon Nikki.  I really need to get out of the house, so I think I’m going to make a quick run to Starbucks.  Heard they have a maple pecan latte now.  Won’t be too bad as long as I get nonfat milk.

    breakfast was a premier protein drink

    lunch is a slice of rye bread with 2 slices of cheese

    Nonfat latte for a snack

  • <p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m a bit late posting today. I think that I’m just running behind on everything.</p>
    Steps and liquids (I really need to work on my liquids), cleaning out the home office (sometimes I feel like I will never finish) and a couple of quick errands.

    Breakfast was a power crunch protein bar

  • What do you use for organization? I am an EXTREMELY unorganized person. like VERY!

    Today I am trying to keep things a little open until I see what work is gonna be like.

    Breakfast was Eggs and toast
    Lunch protein drink
    Dinner Twice baked potatoes and leftover Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto

    I want to get to bed a little earlier than usual because tomorrow is my “Meeting day” I spend the entire day in meetings and I need to be…[Read more]

  • I’m not even sure what day it is anymore. We have officially started Launch Season aka Konica falls off the planet. From Yesterday till after the first of the year work weeks top out at 60 hours (this year may be more) per week. so I am going to be taking this easy and work myself into it. I’m going to be nicer to myself than I have in years…[Read more]

  • Slow onset cold. That’s what I’m convinced I have. I feel tired and my mouth tastes weird and I have a sneeze, but none of it is bad enough (yet) to warrant a sick day. But I feel like it’s going to get worse. Ugh. I hate being sick!

    Not sure what’s on deck to eat today as this taste in my mouth is icky. Might be a protein day.

    5k plan says to…[Read more]

  • It’s official. I’m cursed. I feel a bad cold coming on. Still I went to Zumba (had a hard time keeping up but I did it!)

    Food:

    • Cold Zoodle-sketti salad
    • a lunchmeat roll up
    • a power crunch bar

    and I am about to take some Tylenol cold and say goodnight cuz my face hurts!

  • I had an appointment with my eye Dr today, so I got out of the house.  Last month when I was at the YWM conference in NOLA, my left eye started flashing light really bad (on Saturday). I wasn’t very concerned since my right eye has been doing that off and on for more than a year.  It has something to do with the vitreous in my eye pulling away.  …[Read more]

  • So far this week:  Sunday got to bed at 3:02, Monday at 5:07 (not so good)

    drinking: Sunday about 45 ounces, Monday 56 ounces

    Scott took me to lunch Monday, went to eye Dr today, so good on going out so far.  However, I’m really dopey and dizzy today because I’m weaning off of my paxil, so tomorrow might just be fetching the mail

    about 1/2 d…[Read more]

  • OK, I’m late. But if I don’t post nothing will happen.

    I grocery shopped yesterday and they were out of my grab-go salads, so I have to shop again tonight. But I have snacks for work and am set there. Half way completed.

    I must plan the book club this week. By Thursday. I planned the first meeting and realized I needed a whole schedule instead.…[Read more]

  • Stress is definitely starting to take a toll on my husband and I. He’s eating too much and everything I eat or drink makes me feel sick to my stomach. Where I used to get about five hours of sleep a night, in the last two weeks it’s dropped to three. If his work would just tell us what’s going on, I could handle whatever it is. It’s the not…[Read more]

  • Today re-affirmed for me why I usually start the daily post way early in the morning. This was the longest trek to my computer EVER! But it was for good reason. I got my wig done. It needed it! Girlfriend was about to walk right off my head in protest.

    Anyhoo…the 5k plan says today we cross-train! 20-30 minutes. I plan to go to Zumba tonight,…[Read more]

  • I heart long posts. Especially ones as good as yours! Love everything you said.

    Ok — better late than never – right!!! 🙂  I had my day planned and unfortunately life had different plans for me — oh well — flexibility is what I learned from teaching school 20 plus years so I changed my plans and adjusted to what was thrown at me.  All in all it was a great day and I did accomplish some of the things I had planned.

    I did f…[Read more]

  • Starting this week I will be picking up my oldest grandson everyday at 1 pm since he’s starting Pre-K this year. I am really looking forward to doing this, but I need to plan my days really carefully. I, like Nikki, purchased a physical planner for the rest of this year and I also purchased a planner for next year. I have almost finished…[Read more]

    The last few days have been hectic, so every time I went to go online to do my updates something interrupted me.

    Anyway, Saturday my husband and I went to the outlets and walked around for almost 2 hours. So, I did get some 5k training done by walking, not cross training. Yesterday did grocery shop in the morning and we had dinner at some friends…[Read more]

    And great news about your injury! Now you can ease back into it without pain. That’s great news indeed.
