  • I was just thinking about 9/11 myself this morning.

    Today’s a repeat of last week’s days. I’m still working on cleaning out the home office. I was obviously being extremely optimistic to think I was going to finish it in a week.

    Walking, push-ups and planks are on the schedule.

    Heading to my local library to renew my card. Being in the process…[Read more]

  • First things first. I pause to remember the innocent men and women who lost their lives this day 16 years ago. I can’t believe it’s been that long.

    Today is looking like a typical Monday. Our 5k plan says to walk 20 minutes so I shall on my lunch break. It’ll be more like 2.5 miles though. 😊

    My OAC board meeting was cancelled tonight (staff are…[Read more]

  • Can’t believe the end of this week will be the middle of September!!! Where has this year gone?  This week is somewhat busy but I am going to make doing what I need to keep myself healthy a priority!!!

    This week I will finish the Self Awareness Study!!!  I also will finish watching the videos from last week!!!  My goal is to have that done be…[Read more]

  • Robin — what is the plank challenge?

  • I kinda like this process of sitting down with my planner book. It feels more concrete to me than an online calendar. Don’t ask me why. Anyway, my plan is sort of half-assed this week as I didn’t prep any meals today. I just needed a mental break. So I unplugged for the better part of the weekend and binge-watched Netflix. It’s what I needed to…[Read more]

  • End of week report back:

    • Monday. 5k training happened.
    • Tuesday: 5k cross training did not happen!
    • Wednesday: 5k walking happened but not all at once like I planned. Still, I walked.
    • Thursday: Ugh. That was a trying day. BF live didn’t go well. So I’m glad that it was a rest day so I could just go home and go to bed.
    • Friday: Cross…

  • Awesome! The plan isn’t required. But nobody in the FNC is officially doing the 5k until everyone who needs to do the training does it cuz #NoFoodieLeftBehind.

    So if the training plan isn’t doing it for you, that’s fine! Just make sure you’re prepped in your own way and ready to go when it’s time.

    Great report-back! Onward!

  • Where to start, where to start?

    Walking, of course. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t walk! I started push-ups at the end of last week and will continue adding one to each set until I reach 25. Starting on the plank challenge Monday morning.

    Continuing to work on not grazing my way through the day. I was doing well with that until Saturday when…[Read more]

  • It’s a gorgeous day in central Texas, also! Sunny and actually not too hot!

    Today’s been a lazy one. Church, lunch out and a nap!

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake (running late for church)

    Lunch was a beef tostada without the crunchy tortilla (think mini taco salad)

    Dinner will be leftovers

    Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet

  • This week my goals are as follows:

    1. Eat within my calorie/macro range according to my “plan” (and not eat more at night)
    2. Go to the gym on Wed and Sat (I already went today) and walk those extra steps the other days (including tomorrow and Tues when I have much going on .. I WILL find time to get those extra steps)
  • Had lunch today with my nephew and his wife, who are visiting from Utah.  It was so great to see them!  Pretty shaky and dopey today, so will be resting at home for the rest of the day.

    breakfast: premier protein

    lunch: 1 1/2 slices dry toast, 2 poached eggs (didn’t quite finish it)

    dinner will be salad from Walmart

    having a nonfat pumpkin s…[Read more]

  • Time to do a weekly plan.  Hopefully will help me get off my butt, and accomplish some goals.  I had 9 days of prednisone for my poison ivy, which made me feel like crap, and now I’m on 5 days antibiotics for a UTI.  Will start my new meds for the shaking after I’m off the antibiotics.  In the meantime, I’ve been doing a lot of sitting in the hou…[Read more]

    Another beautiful day here in North Texas!!! 😊 Going to get a chest freezer today and shredding files from my parents.  Watching football and taking it easy the rest of the day!!

    breakfast: breakfast burrito

    lunch: hamburger (sharing with my hubby)

    dinner: rotisserie chicken and salad

  • Happy Sunday! If you’ve been ding the 5k training, week one is officially in the books! Five more to go. Today is a rest day.

    Except I’m not resting. I loaded yesterday (after doing my walking and my cross training I didn’t do on Friday) so today I’ll clean, but food and hopefully prep some food for next week. I’m also gonna do my planner book…[Read more]

  • My nutritionist wants me to eat between 1300-1500 calories and have my carbs at around 100 grams. 50% of every meal is supposed to be protein. That’s all the guidance I have received. I have problems with getting above 1,000 calories most days which I know isn’t enough for how much I walk.

  • I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Nikki!

    I’m having one of those mornings. In the wee hours, the lady that lives behind us let her dog(s) out. She turned on her backyard flood lights. Which woke up our dog who decided going out was a GREAT idea. Usually she wakes up my husband (he of the middle of the night Milkbones) but apparently this time it…[Read more]

    It’s beautiful weather here!!!  My thoughts and prayers are for all of my friends in Florida!!! I lived in Bradenton and am so worried for them!!! Today is work around the house day.  I am using “old” books as shelves to put pictures on and my husband is going to help me hang them on the wall!!!  I hope it turns out the way I am envisioning th…[Read more]

  • I’m alive!

    Thats saying a lot after the past two days of cramps so bad they felt like contractions. I had to take prescription pain meds to get a handle on it (I was given them by my doc and told only to take for pain level 8 or higher.)

    It took the edge off but I was still uncomfortable all night and now I’m groggy. But this morning I feel way…[Read more]

  • The cramps finally hit and they were BAD. Had to take prescription pain meds to get a handle on it. Did not do my cross training but today is my long gym day so I will do it today.

    Prayers for all in the potential hurricane area.

    I’m thankful for  a hospital menu that has loads of healthy options.

    I’ve had PT twice today. And the pain is manageable.

    I am continuing to work in my self assessment.
