Hey! Ok so I want to make sure I understand so that I can a) help and b) fix anything that’s confusing!

The weekly plan isn’t a super formal thing. You’ve been doing it through this mini-pledge! The basic gist is that you post what you’d like to accomplish in a given week. I usually come through on Sunday evening or Monday afternoon and look at…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!!!  Vacation was great but back to the heat and reality!!! Ugh!! I achieved  my water intake goal!!!  YES!!! It was actually easy as for some reason I was very thirsty!!! I believe my guardian angel was helping me achieve this!!! 🙂

Um…I think we have graduated to maybe saying “I only like cottage cheese prepared certain ways…” Just sayin’! LOL.

Awesome that you found a few good recipes. I love just hollowing out an apple and putting some sweetener and apple pie spice in there and baking it. Then I fill it with either sweetened cottage cheese (which I don’t think you’d…[Read more]

Woot! You are so motivated. 🙂

Vacation, yay!

I think your goal sounds good. I understand it to be:

1. Make the best choices you can while on vacay.
2. Avoid dairy and wheat when possible.

I’d just empower you to be your own advocate on #2 and remember that restaurants and hotels are not called the HOSPITALITY industry for nothing. Their job is to please you! So make sure you…[Read more]

Well … after a few days this week feeling sick (like really sick) I am back to my old self and have looked at some recipes and ideas for breaking out of my menu rut:

breakfast – denver omelet in a mug … will try this next week

lunch – cottage cheese with “everything bagel” seasoning (I tried this and LOVE it!! … and I hate cottage cheese…[Read more]

My check in is this:  I was gentle towards the end of the week. I tried to have a good week and it didn’t feel that way but I’m on vacation right now (came to SC yesterday and am with my parents – see my FB pic/post of our sunset boat ride on their “big water” yesterday).

Rocked the water through yesterday. Walked outside a few times, but…[Read more]

As I posted earlier this week, I did get my pledge of doing a high intensity workout done.

Check in for this week. Eating slower, smaller bites and chewing are becoming habits for me now, so I will say goal had been achieved.

As far as eliminating dairy and wheat, I did fairly well, although I think on Friday I may have had something not realizing there was quite a bit of dairy in it. My tummy wasn’t very happy yesterday.

@Kspot42 thanks for all the info!! Another question (although it might be a silly one), are rest breaks allowed?

Also, I just want to say that it’s great seeing you posting again!! You were missed!!

Well… I had written that first post this morning and apparently forgot to hit save. (face palm)

I got about 1/2 of laundry done
Work is caught up

Hubby went to see his sister who is in town and so its 10:30 I have not eaten dinner yet, I’m not hungry, nothing sounds good, honestly I really want to go to bed.

Breakfast: Shake
Lunch: Leftover…[Read more]

@thinkhealthy malls and stores are great! I know around here sometimes even Churches will allow you to walk in their buildings. We do that frequently because the winter roads here are NOT safe for walking and sidewalks don’t exist. Even if they did the plows would bury them and no one wants to dig them out after that. (we have enough problems…[Read more]
