Wow! You went all in on this daily check-in but I love it. I think we’ve got LOTS to work with here.

So let me see if I can get my thoughts out in an organized fashion:

YES! This is the perfect place to be accountable every day. Each day when you log in there should be a thread named by date but if you don’t see one, feel free to start one by…

Time to get busy and get as much cleaned out of my house as possible. That being said, I’m also going to take so time to make sure that I have what I need available so I don’t fall victim to foods that I shouldn’t be eating. I’m planning on making a BIG batch of Unjury peanut butter protein balls in chocolate and strawberry (mmmmmm! Tastes like…[Read more]

Started my 5k training. Walked for 20 minutes tonight — could have gone farther but took my husband and dachshunds. The dachshunds hadn’t been out walking because of the heat so had to not go to far — their little short legs couldn’t handle it. 🙂 I have cardio and strength training tomorrow so hope to walk again on Tuesday!!!

Breakfast – P…[Read more]

My goal for this week is to continue posting in Daily Check-ups every day!!! I also am setting of goal of cooking at LEAST 4 dinners this week. I have to stop eating out. Even though I have been making healthy choices and not overeating — I need to get back in the habit of cooking at home. I will make a meal plan and grocery shop to be abl…[Read more]

You’ve got this week!!! My thoughts are with you and your husband as this is a very trying time!!! Sorry you are having to go through!!! I know the weather isn’t helping any of this either — fortunately you aren’t close to the coast!!! Hang in there and trust that God has a plan for y’all!!! 🙂

And I guess I’ll gear up to start on the 5K plan!

(as in, go to the gym… so my car doesn’t freak out when I go there again)

My goal for this week is to ….

Plan my menu for next week and purchase and prepare those items
Get my work-outs in as scheduled
Try the remaining recipes I picked out last week and give them a try early this week before I return to work.

So this week my goal was to make a plan of attack for September … my most stressful and crazy month. I was able to work on my lesson plans and worked on scheduling the things I know about now but unfortunately my work STILL has not provided all of the dates for faculty and dept meetings, so I will most likely have to rearrange things once…[Read more]

keep pushing the 70 oz of water, and “buying” the caffeine. I’m down to just the drink at lunch, so I’m going to work to eliminate that at least one day next week. None at all would be a good long term plan.

eat the salads i bought today for dinner.

manage the emotional eating, as it’s PMS time. And i’m very stressed about the work stuff going…[Read more]

week end check-in:

logged all week. didn’t overeat with my parents.

got to 70 oz every day except today, but I haven’t gone to bed yet.

i think it was fat that killed my GMI, but I kept an eye on what i was doing and listened more to my body.

didn’t make it to the gym. regroup for this week is in the plan (will post a new plan elsewhere).

Today has been a very quiet day for me. My husband is working on his resume. I’m pretty much taking advantage of the quiet as my week will be a stressful one.

Breakfast was Greek yogurt and a power crunch protein bar.

Lunch was some turkey (I was going to have the rest of the kale salad but my husband beat me to it)

Dinner is still up in the…[Read more]

How can it be almost September already? I’m not ready for September!

Everyone at my husband’s work who’s “Voluntary Separation” forms are accepted will work their last day on Thursday. People are being fired left and right. I’ll not be surprised if layoffs start Friday (that way they don’t have to pay for the Labor Day holiday). Corporate has…[Read more]

It’s too quiet up in here!

Today has been a fairly steady day for me. I went to church, took the kid school shopping, then came home and (gasp!) meal prepped! I’ve got a big pot of veggie soup on (a friend gave me half her CSA box and I was determined not to waste it).

I’m going to try to sneak in a long walk before support call tonight! (Info…[Read more]

Unfortunately, no “aha” moments. Mainly trying to stop and see if I’m really hungry, thirsty or wanting to eat out of stress. I’m definitely still doing too much stress eating.

It’s just now hit me that today ends this challenge. I was sitting here trying to decide what my next pledge was going to be. 😕

For the most part I accomplished my goal. I did miss my check-in yesterday as all I was concerned with was family and friends dealing with Hurricane Harvey. I honestly thought about needing to check-in but every time I was about to get on my computer something happened I know that is not an excuse!!! Checking in should be a priority but the…[Read more]
