Busy day. Started this morning cleaning out my pantry, which took me most of the morning. Then did some vacuuming of our hardwood floors. Tonight we took my mother-in-law to Lowe’s as she needed a new dishwasher. So walked around Lowe’s for at least 20 minutes. Then we went to dinner which I had baked haddock, a couple bites of mashed potatoes and…[Read more]

Pretty good. Does anyone else feel like work holidays just mean you have to do 40+ hours of work in 4 days?!

Do you base your life on a calorie target versus a protein one? I’m curious.

Wishing you good luck on the job situation. Companies can be evil sometimes.

Same ol’ stuff.

Rumors are as flying all around my husband’s work. The one that’s really picking up steam is about the layoffs on the 19th. Targeting the longer term employees who still have the pension plan. Of which my husband is one. Cut the employees that will cost the company down the road (and happen to have the bigger paychecks) and then…[Read more]

My day is starting out great!!!  I have 30 minutes with my personal trainer this morning so my cross training day is happening!!! 🙂  I also plan on finishing the tub of pictures I’m going through!!!  Much bigger undertaking than I expected but the first tub is almost completed!!! YAY!!!  I am also going to work on my self-evaluation!!!  🙂  I a…[Read more]

Good morning. I’m hoping today will be less stress, but it’s already pretty messy. My poor new guy, and then the other boss who’s undermining my authority. I need to be assertive without being a witch. Not my strong suit.

My parents are evacuating from outside Charleston. It’s their first hurricane they can plan for, and my Mom is flipping out.…[Read more]

OK, so today was today. I got my migraine under control super fast (Woohoo Score one for the Daith Piercing) I got kids off to school ready for picture day with money and cold lunches in hand… other than I did have to run one kid out his lunch in my bare feet. I napped. then I went to work.

You all are gonna be SICK of hearing about Launch…[Read more]

Glad to hear it went well, that you’re up walking, and even managed to eat!  I hope you heal quickly.

No answers yet.  The dr wants me to go off of the anti-depressant, which I’m doing now. Then I need to try another medication.  I’m on 5 days of antibiotics now, so I’ll start the new meds after I’m done with these.  Hopefully the new meds will stop the shaking.  As of now, there aren’t any answers as to why I’m shaking. All tests were neg…[Read more]

My week has been good as far as meal choices and eating at home but have not got my walking in like I want to or need to but I will have 2 days of strength training after tomorrow morning.  I work with a personal trainer on Monday and Friday so that helps me with that but I need to really work on walking every other day.  I have been busy going t…[Read more]

yep. So these are new and a bit of an experiment. They had good flavor but we’re too fluffy so I’m going to try again with less baking powder

Savory Breakfast Cookies (low carb, 4 pts)

Sounds Good!

LOL. I’m glad you were riveted. I did my weekly update over there in that post. And I logged my food. I’m actually under for today. Amazing what breakneck busy does for me. I may have a protein ice cream bar for a snack. I think I’ve earned it.

I even thought about the assessment but I have to go find it – it’s over on my other laptop, which I…[Read more]

My day was as expected.

I got some nice tilapia for dinner and I ate a few bites of broccoli to go with it.

And I’ve already done my standing and walk alongside the bed.

Pain meds will be kicking in soon. So good night.

SueO

Ok – sweep response –

Escaped my comfort zone. Overall not a bad thing. I’m learning to live in the moment with the pain of why I cried last night about the party.

I shopped Monday for food.

I’m surviving the stress. Today was victory because we accomplished new tasks. We were successful, even if in small doses. There are still stressors, but…[Read more]

That?

Was the most RIVETING daily check-in I have read yet.

Kudos!

Seriously, though. You have a lot going on. One part I can personally relate to is not having much of a life. Folks think I do because I’m always on the internet. But that’s because…I’m always on the internet.

Granted, I do have to work a lot to make ends meet. (One income…[Read more]

Nik, how did we sync our periods from several states away? I’m commenting in the daily check in. I have a lot to say, and I’m still figuring out where to say it. I should do my mid-week check in, and I hope to do it later. But I need to be accountable to more than just ONE person that SOMEONE TELL ME TO LOG MY DAMN FOOD.

I haven’t logged since…[Read more]
