I’m so stoked you posted early! And your day sounds way funner(er) than mine. 😉

Robin how do you do with fruits and veggies? Whenever I find I’m too snacky (for whatever reason), baby carrots and veggie crudites become my best friends. I know you are supposed to deal with the reason you want to eat and yadda…but sometimes quite frankly I have to engage in what I call “defensive eating,” or, eating very filling foods that…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’re taking a proactive stance on the “scale surprise.” It’s easy and understandable to get down about that sort of stuff. But I love that you are instead taking action!

So you’re going to a conference, eh? Question: How many conference meals do you think you’ll be having? (Conference meals = meals provided directly by the…[Read more]

Basically a repeat of yesterday. Walking, liquids, cleaning out the house.

Update on my husband’s job situation – on Monday, he sent an application to another company that’s within the same company (if that makes sense). Basically does the same thing at a different location, but makes money instead of losing it. Then, yesterday morning, they…[Read more]

True fact: recipes cannot be copyrighted. So it’s not illegal to share a recipe you got from a book with someone else. Good form would be to share the recipe along with book information (title, author, and probably a link to the book). The one caveat is that you should never post a photocopy of a recipe book. If you share a recipe, you’d need to…[Read more]

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!

I love this post.

You toot that horn, Maria! You have every reason to be really proud.

Ok I am nosey. Let’s talk more about this cleaning lady situation? What is stressful to you about the cleaning lady?

Sounds like you’re holding up well. KUDOS!

SUE!!!!!

You just made my day. Heck…my whole week. <3

I’m a bit brain dead today and can’t think. So, I’ve run errands, including getting a new fitbit so I can put my old one out of my misery! Cleaning out the office (all week), finishing up the laundry. Walking (I know that this is a cross training day, but I’m a walker)

Breakfast was a Premier Protein water

Snack before walking into the grocery…[Read more]

I’m so glad you double checked before starting the training!

Welp…I hereby nominate you as the CMO (chief motivating officer). Should you accept this duty, you’d be helping us all stay the course on this thing and acting ridiculously proud of every little thing that we do. (aka Channeling your “Inner Nik”)

Of course you are free to decline…[Read more]

I didn’t make it yesterday so today will be McD’s salad but I have the stuff to make it tonight. I think I’m gonna go with my Power Chicken Salad.

Yay!

I see you there with the gluten-free toast. Good for you for kicking wheat out of your life again!

I’m glad you were able to do the bike, but take it at your own level, always. I’m glad we are doing this. I’m motivated!

I’m not doing a formal 5k. I’m just going to map out a route and walk it! The details about how to do the 5k are forthcoming but you don’t have to sign up for a formal 5k if you don’t want to. But if that’s fun for you, you definitely should!

I was thinking there’s a few of us close enough to meet up maybe? I dunno…whaddya think? 😉

Did you get some vacay planning done this weekend? I think you must have as it’s not on your plan anymore!

I had a good day! I got my walking done. Everything I ate was sooo yummy too.

For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions.

For lunch I had a PB&J quesadilla on half a high fiber tortilla.

For snack I had a lunch meat roll up.

And for dinner I had Cajun sausage and peppers.

I also prepped some spicy breakfast burritos for…[Read more]

Yep! That definitely counts as your 5k walking! 🙂

Sorry they screwed up. Hopefully they’ll make it ridiculously easy for you to reschedule.
