Karen, I was out in the wind for most of Saturday and Sunday. That’s why they’re so bad right now. I have even been flirting with earaches because of being in the wind so long. I’m planning on staying inside today, (easy to do as we have thunderstorms forecasted) and am already seeing an improvement!

I can definitely say that lack of sleep makes you hungrier! I’m lucky to get five hours of sleep a night. Unfortunately, it’s not in a solid block of time. It takes me a long time to get to sleep and then I wake up constantly through the night. It’s not fun.

I haven’t been posting on here, but I have been logging all my food on MFP.

Ohhhhhhhh! A recipe swap!!!!! I love recipes!!!!!!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!

Today, I’m getting a little bit of a late start. Ran an early errand as we are forecasted for severe weather later today. Spring thunderstorm season has officially arrived in central Texas! Right now I’m drinking my morning shake. It’s one of my favorites and I tend to fix this one more than most. It’s the Butterfinger Shake from Nikki’s Protein…[Read more]

Called my doc, it’s a surgery day for him so they were not in the office. I left a message with one of the nurses but didn’t hear back, so I’m waiting a couple hours this morning and will call again.  I went grocery shopping, that wore me out and hurt. My pain has peaks where it’s almost like a contraction and then it goes away almost completely.…[Read more]

This is an interesting read for me. The last time I tried true meal prepping I got so overwhelmed and I was spending 12-15 hours on prepping and on,y getting MAYBE 5 days worth of meals out of it. my days off were Sunday and Monday. Sunday was dedicated to my religion which left Monday to meal prep and I was prepping individual meals biased on…[Read more]

Today has not been great. I was outside a lot this weekend and it was VERY windy so my allergies are getting the best of me. I didn’t sleep much last night and feel lousy. I have pretty much lived on protein shakes today. And sugar free Popsicles. So, I have my protein in but not a lot of calories. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Today I am

– calling my doc again

Once I do that then I will plan out the rest of my day.

Donna ((hugs)) for the up coming week. What kind of things do you like that are creative? I usually turn to cross stich or coloring books. I love that the “grown up coloring books” are in abundance.

I wish our gym had a pool. But alas it does not. We don’t even have an indoor pool anywhere nearby. So all of our a alable pools are open from like…[Read more]

You food this week sounds fantastic. What do you put in your Taco Salads?

Welcome!!  I wish I could come up with a magic formula to overcome the negative self talk crap that we all go through. But I think the best thing for me is to come here, unload my thoughts and see from the replies that I’m not alone and Nikki or someone else will set me back on the right path and I do better! It’s so much easier with the support…[Read more]

Welcome!!! I know how hard it can be to step outside that warm safe little box! What part of Washington are you moving to? Will you be driving or flying? I understand the family of enablers. My husband is great but my extended family and my littles are Carb addicts I am a recovering addict so it’s tough to go to family outings/parties because 9/10…[Read more]

It’s a gorgeous day here after storms yesterday. It’s about ten degrees cooler than it has been so a very pleasant high in the 70’s. I’ve had my morning shake, but have no idea what the rest of my day will be like! My husband wants to go out to the shooting range. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to shoot this go round due to my shoulder.(I start…[Read more]

My day hasn’t started well. For some reason, my morning vitamin and meds made my pouch hurt big time. So, I didn’t have my shake like I usually do. I did get my one short errand run before the rain started. I’m finally having my shake. I know what dinner will be and its not only a favorite of mine but yummy besides. I don’t have a clue as to what…[Read more]

I would love to know what you are using to log? Also do you log before or after you have eaten it?

Awe!!! Precious kitty!!
