    I don’t think intuitive eating has to be at odds with logging/tracking.

    It does take some mindset shifting though.

    I eat pretty intuitively. By that I mean, I eat when I am hungry. And I eat as much as it takes for me to not be hungry anymore. Some days I get hungry a lot. Some days I don’t get hungry at all. I just sort of go with what my body…[Read more]

    Ok so here’s how things shook out:

    1. I called my general breast surgeon and my reconstructive surgeon. General surgeon, I have an appointment with him on the 27th. Reconstructive…sigh…that’s another post but long story short, I have a feeling I’m about to have to jump through more hoops.
    2. I did get some of the laundry folded so…yay!
    3. I…

  • I survived Monday!

    I am about to go update yesterday’s thread with how things shook out but I will just say that, unto itself, is an accomplishment.

    Today the sun is shining, so I’m going to take my walk during lunch time. Tonight is Zumba and I actually managed to get my gym bag packed AND in the car. So…winning!

    Eats for today:

  • My weekly plan this week has more to do with mental peace than anything else. I have a few goals:

    1. Make appointments for every practitioner I need to see. That includes new therapist, my PCP, making my bariatric follow-up appointment (last one got cancelled b/c my surgeon had emergency surgery), the reconstructive surgeon and double checking my…

    You’re doing such a great job with purging/organizing!!!

    Today it is raining cats, dogs and chickens here in Baltimore (yes, chickens too lol). I think this may be the remnants of Nate but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it’s fast moving. The clouds are just whizzing by and they bring rain on top of rain on top of rain.

    At work today, I…[Read more]

    Robin you were the lone Foodie yesterday! I’m sorry about that.

    I needed a day off of being me. So I took one.

    Today has been better, probably because I stayed in bed until I actually slept. Sleep deprivation (especially long-term) does whacky things to your body and your SOUL. But I’m better now.

    Today I went and got my veggie haul from Gather…[Read more]

  • TGIF!

    I need sleep. Although we all know I’ll be awake at 6 a.m. tomorrow because that’s how my body works.

    Anyway…hi. How are you? Happy Friday.

    I need coffee then I will be better equipped to recap my day. Be back soon!

  • Mid-week sweep!

    I see today you meet with the nutritionist. I want to hear how that goes, please.

    Have you been making more time for yourself this week? I know you made time for ME by looking at that e-book. I’m very thankful.

  • Mid-week sweep! How are things going?

    I hope the stress is manageable my friend. 🙂

  • I have a confession to make. My daughter’s 16th birthday is STRESSING ME OUT!

    And it’s my own fault.

    All she asked for was a party where she could invite all her family and some of her friends. She has a big family (her dad’s side) so this requires a hall and once my mind heard “hall” it became this huge thing. And that has brought me near a…[Read more]

    Ok here’s how the day shook out. Not great but it is what it is!

    • Sausage Egg McMuffin for breakfast
    • Indian butter chicken w/ salad for lunch
    • Power Crunch Bar for snack
    • A chalupa from Taco Bell for dinner

    Mostly because I just really was in an “I don’t care” kind of mood. I thought this morning about why that was and have determined it’s…[Read more]

    This is relatively minor. Three years ago when OAC Convention was in Orlando the hotel ATM machine apparently had a card skimming device affixed to it and someone made off with $5,000 of my money! After fighting with the bank (who thought I spent it and was trying to recoup…because, like, I would do that, #1. And #2 by the money was withdrawn…[Read more]

  • Today’s big goal: Call the IRS. (Don’t ask.)

    But first…I’ve had some bank account fraud! I get alerts if my bank account balance is low or goes to zero and I did today and checked it and someone has been using my card to take Lyfts all over San Francisco. Here’s the thing that irritates me. If I, Nikki Massie, go out of town and forget to tell…[Read more]

    Did my Zumba! Felt good.

    Ok so your mother-in-law is going in my prayers ASAP.

    My boyfriend has both Type II diabetes and stage 4 kidney disease (he has both kidneys but is on peritoneal dialysis) so I know how those things can complicate other stuff.

    While I think your husband is right, I think you are right too. You’re a worrier. That’s part of who you are! So I think…[Read more]

  • I’m wondering if we’ll see another heyday of daily check-ins. That would be a great thing for this somber Tuesday!

    RIP Tom Petty. Your music got me through a lot.

    Ok so…I’m determined to get past this mental funk I’ve been in. I think just all the general negativity in the world has been weighing on me. I have a few items I need to take action…[Read more]

    I had this long post typed out and then my computer quit.

    My heart is sad for the Las Vegas victims and their families. I feel like we are reaching a critical mass of crises in the world. I feel anxious about it. I wonder if you all are feeling the same way?

    Just know that we can talk about it here! I know you guys well enough to know you’d show…[Read more]

  • Thank you much!

    Those are the types of things I am incapable of seeing the 1,245,678th time I’ve looked at it. 😉

  • I can be your accountability buddy on the stress bit as I need someone to be checking in with me too.

    Truth be told, I haven’t been doing great with stress since about last year. I get anxious really quickly. That’s why I made an appointment with a new therapist. I may need to look into anti-anxiety meds because it really is quite scary and…[Read more]

  • Last week was a bust because I spent a lot of it feeling crappy. I’m determined to turn things around.

    • Monday: I’ll walk at lunchtime and then in the evening my daughter and I will go to the gym. She’s interested in learning a basic gym workout she can do so she can (gasp!) go without me! I’ll have left over ratatouille for lunch. I’m making a…
