Here is the photo!

I haven’t been able to find it yet. I’m hopeing that it will be in the slides from conference.
@KathyP I have a picture of it I will try and post it.

I’d like to say that I started walking the 5k’s prior to surgery, and I only sign up for fun ones. Last year me and 3 friends signed up for “Run the Year” where we logged our steps (intentional, for the most part) as miles, and then worked to get to 2016 miles as the team. We did it. I have the medal to show for it! That was fun. So the virtual…[Read more]

Someone scan me this worksheet. Sounds like something I need to have tattooed where I can see it!

Go ahead, say “I told you so”

Well, let’s see. It’s only Tuesday and I’ve sobbed several hours today. I was off site all day for a golf event that I didn’t want to be at, but I’m on the board of the professional society that was hosting (I don’t even golf). So, I worked in the lull.

The two guys who are leaving my “team” (I’m the smelly cheese who stands alone. I say that…[Read more]

Congrats !! Promotion is good. .

Sad about money.

Excellent attitude.

Good luck getting organized. We missed you and your notebook 🙂

Konica said it all. I’ll just add that 5 kilometerds = 3.2 miles.

I’ll let you determine if that’s too much for where you are right now BUT I will say that I’m very passionate about there not being any speed requirements to do this. So you don’t have to walk fast!

Somehow my life went haywire and I don’t even know how. Sigh.

But here’s the rub…it’s both in GOOD and BAD ways.

Good = I got a promotion at work! Yay! (This means more money and, finally, doing the stuff I love to do)

Bad = some money that was owed to me and promised to me last week STILL has not come through so I have to hustle to make sure…[Read more]

Oh Robin, I’m sorry to hear about the stress! I think it’s good that you are thinking about how it will impact you (even though that’s probably stressful). You know what I say…preparation, preparation, preparation!

I think you’ve set forth some very realistic goals so I look forward to hearing how it all goes. I’ll check on you mid-week!

WOOHOO! (I never had any doubts, but I’m happy that you’re happy!)

I hope you’re having a great vacation!

Carry a bottle of water with you in your bag everywhere you go!

When I was at OAC I carried my Ulla (here’s a link to what that is) and it reminded me to drink! But in the absence of that I’d just carry a bottle wherever you go and set reminders throughout the day to SIP!

I know you’ve got this. Can’t wait…[Read more]

I think you’ve got a challenge ahead of you, but certainly not one that’s insurmountable!

One good approach to take is to do what you’ve been doing – planning out your meals – and then looking at the meals you like with the intention of making them fit your requirements (not the other way around, trying to find recipes that fit your requirements…[Read more]

I like that your goal is to search out, but then your actual goal to make something is related to one recipe! I was thinking as I read “she’s going to try ALL those new recipes in a week?” Nope! Because you’re savvy, you are taking a step by step approach. Love it!

Be sure to post any good recipes you find in the recipe swap forum!

Woot! I’ll be checking in with you in a few days to see how it’s going but I know you can do it!

Those last two I really want you to concentrate on!

Let me know how the “water for coffee” thing works out for you. I can tell you my first two attempts at it didn’t go so great but the third time must be a charm because I’ve been sticking to it (even did at OAC).

Woot! You can do it.

Question: Have you worked out what you’ll be eating this week? Carbs can be sneaky suckers, so planning ahead is essential to limiting your carbs.

Let me know if you need any help!

Right???

Great plan! Did you ever find out if that worksheet is available anywhere? I’d love to post it in here. If not, I can definitely search for it. 🙂
