  • Glad to see you reporting in again. I know I said that already!

    I remember when we last spoke at length you were having some medical symptoms you were trying to get to the bottom of. Did you ever get any answers?

  • Yesterday, all I managed was taking a shower.  Today I’m determined to do more.  Waiting for a call back from my Dr for an appointment.  Think I have a bladder infection, ugh. Then I’m going shopping with my ex.  So I’ll at least get out of the house, and get a little walking in.

    Having a carnation instant breakfast now.  Lunch will depend on t…[Read more]

    I’m having knee surgery at 10 this morning,  so my eating plan for the day is simple.

    B nothing

    L nothing

    D I can’t remember eating anything for dinner when I had the other knee done in June,  so probably nothing.  But I  am packing protein shakes and bars so I’ll have them if I need one.

    Activity  will be standing by the bed and walking up a…[Read more]

  • I’m sorry you’re feeling so lousy!😢

    Today, so far, has started well for me. We’ve had a cold front come through that dropped our temperature from 98 on Tuesday to 78 yesterday. We woke up to 53 degrees this morning!

    I could really just cut and paste my days in here. Cleaning out the house, steps and liquids.

    I am working on the self assessment…[Read more]

  • First week of September in the BOOKS!

    Our 5k plan says we rest today so…we rest!

    I have a super busy day and if my body follows its regular cycle (monthly) I should be experiencing very painful cramps and nausea all day. Nausea already on deck. Waiting for cramps to show up for the party. Thank goodness Extra Strength Tylenol does seem to…[Read more]

  • I got my 15 minutes of walking in…just in five minute spurts! (I purposely walked to places I would have driven to on the way home…cuz the rain threw me off, man!)

  • Kspot42 replied to the topic September 6 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 2 months ago

    Nightly check in.

    LONG DAY! Launch season is gonna be crazy! Super fun but crazy!

    Breakfast- shake
    Lunch- Tacos
    Dinner… oops…

  • If others are into it and someone else besides Nikki coordinates it (because, much as I love you all, it’s Pledge planning time and I don’t have time to coordinate) go for it!

    Try posting this in the FB group as well to get feedback. 🙂

  • Ok so I will recognize first and foremost that I am stepping out of bounds of what is my business here to ask but…

    Why does your MIL have so much control over what happens in your house?

  • That. Right there. Is how you can tell you are not making excuses. You are adjusting your plan to fit your reality.

    Now make it so! 😉

    @nikki-massie The cleaning lady stresses me out because my Mother-in-law stresses out when she comes. She is a “friend” that she pays under the table to come and vacuum and clean the toilet once a week. She is supposed to be doing a lot more but she doesn’t. There is a joke that goes around about how she doesn’t look up if she can’t see it at eye…[Read more]

    Thank you @kspot42 and @nikki-massie for your input. I will post the recipe in the recipe swap forum with the typed recipe and the changes I made as well as the book’s title and author.

    It’s a rainy, chilly day (mid-60’s) here in Upstate New York. My plan this morning was to get everything cut up for dinner and hit Planet Fitness to do the treadmill (when I got there I was going to ask a staff member how to use it). Well, I ended up standing way too long on my feet cutting up the veggies and chicken and maybe because of the…[Read more]

  • Actually, that’s a great idea! As I forgot to get milk when I went grocery shopping yesterday, I’m going to pick up some baby carrots and the such when I go get milk. I’d love to eat fruit but find it’s best if I have it at the end of a meal to avoid that special drop in blood sugar.

    today I have 2 goals

    1.not freak out at people.
    2. find some organization.

    I am in a “people are dumb” mood mostly thanks to work. When you have to sift through 10,000 tweets and 9,900 of them are wrong wrong wrong and bigoted and hateful it takes a toll on my spirit. also, I am in a “why can’t people just be nice? is it really that hard?”…[Read more]

  • I’m so stoked you posted early! And your day sounds way funner(er) than mine. 😉

  • Robin how do you do with fruits and veggies? Whenever I find I’m too snacky (for whatever reason), baby carrots and veggie crudites become my best friends. I know you are supposed to deal with the reason you want to eat and yadda…but sometimes quite frankly I have to engage in what I call “defensive eating,” or, eating very filling foods that…[Read more]
