  • Mid-week sweep!

    I’ve been so jealous of your Scotch Eggs. How’s the house coming along?

  • I never did mid-week sweep you!

    How are you, Maria?

    Jennie O sausage is what I used. Two ounces per egg.

    I need to make some Scotch Eggs. I just bought Jennie-O sausage so…hmmmmm…

    Today has been an ok day so far. It was much cooler than I thought it would be, but that’s ok!

    I took the bus again this morning. I didn’t hate it. 🙂 I get my car back tomorrow but this incident has me wondering if I should explore taking the bus. I need to sit down…[Read more]

  • Today has been a good day so far! Up early and got most of my steps in and have a great start on my liquids.

    I’ve been to the flooring company and it looks like we’ll hopefully have a decision on our floors by the end of the weekend.

    Breakfast was a Scotch egg

    Lunch with most likely be a protein shake

    Dinner will be roasted turkey and a…[Read more]

    I’m COLD!!!!!!! We’ve gone from the mid 90’s on Saturday to 45 degrees this morning! So far we’ve managed to get up to 60! My thin Texas blood wasn’t ready for this!

    I’m working on the front bedroom today. So far, it’s going quicker than expected. My husband’s more and more feeling like we need to get the house ready to sell as quickly as…[Read more]

  • Today…I took the bus. For the first time in years!

    My car is in the shop until THURSDAY. Yes, folks. That’s how much stuff was wrong with it. Sigh.

    It’s going to cost a lot but guess what? That’s one less thing to worry about heading into winter so I will deal with it!

    I actually didn’t mind taking the bus. I didn’t have to pay attention to…[Read more]

    Today is my oldest daughter’s 37th birthday and I’m feeling a little bit old! ?

    Grocery shopping is done, laundry is almost finished and dinner is started. I have my steps done and am almost to my 80 ounces of liquids.

    Breakfast was a Scotch egg

    Lunch was turkey salad on a jarlsberg cheese wrap

    Dinner will be cube steak and a salad with…[Read more]

  • I SLEPT LAST NIGHT!!!

    And I slept well. Unfortunately my body was so starved for good sleep that this resulted in me oversleeping and I had to hustle to get the kid dropped to school on time. Bah! But I feel very energetic.

    Today is the start of a busy week. It’s very meeting-ful. I don’t like meeting-ful weeks. It just feels like I am going…[Read more]

    We ended up having a really good dinner. We had DIY burrito bowls. It was so easy too! The only thing I really had to “cook” was the chicken breast. I also made salsa from my garden tomatoes. Sigh. That is the epitome of life satisfaction for me: making things from food I grew myself.

  • This week (on Monday) my oldest baby turns 37. How did she get so old? How did I get so old?!

    I’m going to try prepping as many of my breakfasts and lunches as I can. This is a new thing for me. I have my breakfasts done already. I made scotch eggs. Lunches may not be prepped until Monday as I have my husband’s lunches to do today. For me, I’m…[Read more]

    Today’s been pretty good. A cold front that was supposed to bring rain and temps in the upper 40s this morning, didn’t. It’s very windy but the sun is shining and we stayed in the 60s all day. Now tomorrow morning is supposed to be in the 40s.

    After church we had a quick lunch and then went shopping for some dress pants for hubby (no luck there)…[Read more]

  • Today has been good. I did my “happy thing” (food photography) after church and that felt good. I realized I like being in a hands-on creative space. It’s very calming for my mind. I’m going to get back into my project to update blog pics. That will do double duty as me prepping healthy meals, so it’s a win-win.

    Eats for today haven’t been…[Read more]

    Saturday was a good day for me. My oldest daughter is home on break and we hung out. I got my tire fixed (someone hit my car and bent my rim). The rim was fixable. Later in the day I learned the tire is not so much. I was driving and the darn thing popped! Turns out it also had a huge nail in it. Bah!

    I can’t remember my eats from yesterday but I…[Read more]

  • Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

    Not much going on. Working on the house as always. I did have to finish up getting my oldest daughter’s birthday gift so I could get it in the mail to be delivered on her birthday Monday. It’s hard for me to believe sometimes that I have a child that is about to turn 37!

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake

    Lunch…[Read more]

    Wow. Daily Check-ins is getting lean.

    I may have to start tagging folks again.

    @hrdlckwmn, where you at?

    @blanche-j-2, where you at?

    @beffietheteach, where you at?

    @baylorbev, where you at?

    @kspot42, where you at?

    As for me…WHEW! Today was insane. In. Sane! At work I was in charge of launching a fundraising campaign and I launched it. And…[Read more]

  • I’m finally over the stomach bug my husband shared with me. However, last night was one of those nights that I just didn’t sleep. I finally dozed off just after five this morning. Unfortunately, the alarm goes off at 5:20. So I’ve been pretty much useless today. I ended up skipping my support group meeting.

    Meals have actually been small snacks…[Read more]

  • Robin Miller replied to the topic October 11 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 1 month ago

    I’m definitely late posting. Sorry about that! I’m finally feeling better from the stomach bug. I spent the morning getting the oil changed in my husband’s car and then getting his “dress up” clothes ready to go to a close work friend’s funeral tomorrow.

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake

    Lunch… Well, I never actually got around to eating…[Read more]

  • Wednesday. HUMP DAY!

    It’s rainy again. Blah. But at least it’s cooler. I’m rooting for fall. I wish it would come and stay a while!

    Not much planned today. I’ll do my walk at lunch if it doesn’t rain. Tonight I need to get some stuff done around the house.

    Eats I’m not sure of. This morning I did have a homemade biscuit with an egg and some…[Read more]

    I did my lunchtime walk. And I went to Zumba!

    The walk made me realize something important. There is something about physical exertion that helps me control anxiety. I think that part of the reason why I’ve been feeling more anxious lately is because I haven’t been moving as much as I normally would.

    So I think I need to focus hard on that in…[Read more]
