I’m feeling somewhat better today despite the dog waking me up at 2 AM this morning. I’m already working on my steps and liquids and have decided that today is the day I will get my weekly pledge done.

My last two week’s pledges were to add complex carbs to my food plan. That DIDN’T work out for me. The grains and starchy vegetables made my pouch…[Read more]

I’m feeling completely exhausted today and am having trouble getting anything accomplished. Steps are getting done little by little and so are my liquids. I think that I’m going to lay down for a hour.

Breakfast – breakfast chili

Lunch – stuffed avocado

Dinner – chili dog with no bun (different chili than at breakfast)

1. Snacks- Celebrate…

I have no idea what today is going to bring! I’m hoping to get to the grocery store today because I’d really like some salmon for dinner, but I don’t know if that will happen. We’re keeping one of the grandsons this afternoon and evening. Not the “never slow down” two year old but little four month old Jackson! We have plans to go look at new…[Read more]

I do at least have cell phone service again. Seems our old company is…[Read more]

I think that I may have a stomach bug. I had to take medicine for nausea last night and am not sure that I may not need to take more. I’ve been sipping liquids all day, foods have been pretty much non existent. Some steps but not to goal and don’t know if I really care one way or the other.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve reported back in on last week’s weekly plan and put a new pledge on this week’s plan.

I haven’t given up on adding more complex carbs to my food plan despite last week’s weight jump. (darn those grains!). This week’s pledge is a repeat of last week’s pledge. However, I’m avoiding grains and am going to try out things such as adding winter squash (butternut, possibly acorn although I haven’t seen acorn in the stores yet.), more…[Read more]
