Mid-week Sweep!
You keeping up those good habits? And how are you feeling?

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Kathy's Plan 9/25-10/1 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 2 months ago
I suspect that this is because you are exercising a “pass/fail” mentality. The rest of your report back seems to indicate that as well.
So let’s take some time to do a bit of re-framing:
- I wasn’t able to get my work priorities straightened out due to circumstances that were largely under my control, but I was able to cope through and…dang…

Mid-week sweep!
This has been a week for you! You started off cautiously hopeful and now you know what life is going to look like, at least for the next two months.
My advice to you: you’ve been great at establishing core habits. I have a feeling those are the things that make you feel like “you.”
Hold tight to those! Make a list of your…[Read more]

I’m especially interested in #’s 4 & 5 but a report on all would be nice.
I assume you’re still breathing because I’ve seen you on social media this week. 😉
I hope you’re well! <3

Mid-week Sweep!
How are things going? I can’t tell whether it’s this past Sunday or the one coming up where you need to go to bed early (I think it’s the one coming up). How is your phased in sleep plan coming along?
I’m so glad your shaking has calmed down. I experienced first hand how limiting it can feel to be “doped up,” as you put it. Not…[Read more]

Today is the beginning of a very long and hard two months. After a very long discussion last night, my husband and I came to the conclusion that there is no future (or security) at his work now. He’s applying for a transfer to the location 2+ hours away. Which means we’re moving. He would like us out of our house by Thanksgiving. So, lot’s to keep…[Read more]

I don’t want to 100% commit to posting these every day as life has a tendency to start working against those sorts of commitments. But I do have a mental reflection every day on significant things I see and hear. When I am able, I totally plan to share them here.
For the first one I want to tell you about my friend Diana.
She’s not a “friend”…[Read more]

So the 5k training plan threw me for a loop this week.
THEY TOOK AWAY MY THURSDAY REST DAY!
Since I have the live show tonight, here’s what I will do. I’m going to take the rest day today (I’ve done the other days this week) and then do cross-training on Sunday (which actually works out better as I have time to do so that day!)…[Read more]

Today is my two year anniversary since adopting my kitties…my reason for living 😊. I don’t know what I’d do without them. Just wish they were a bit healthier.
Took Brinley to the vet this morning for another respiratory infection, and she said she might also have kitty herpes. So another shot, and a bill for $163. I’m going to try to get som…[Read more]

Wishing you the very best luck on the removal, and hopeful that it won’t lead to more regain. You’re very committed to your exercise routine, so that should help. I’ll say a prayer for you.

I’m sorry you have been struggling and continue to struggle. I believe you are doing what is best for you and hopefully you will find the correct support you need. Maybe your doctor or team there have some suggestion for you. I am sure tou have the support of a lot of foodies! Hang in thete!

Oh do share about the spice blends!
I have a few I need to use. Like I bought berbere (are you familiar with that? it’s a spice blend used in Ethiopian cooking) so that I could make Mesir Wat (which are lentils in this deliciously flavorful sauce).
I need to clean out my spice cabinet, truth be told.
On the Z-Quil I’m trying to use the “break…[Read more]

Today’s check-in for me is called “Nikki took a sleep aid to help her get some rest and now really regrets it…”
My doctor asked to see me about my sleep issues but in the meantime said I could use Z-Quil so I did. It’s weird how if I have a glass of wine, I’m goosey for about 15 minutes and then totally sober. Sleep aids? I took it at 9:30 p.m.…[Read more]

I MADE IT TO ZUMBA!!!!
I think I may have overdone it as my shoulder and neck hurt. I really need to be careful with my movement until I get these issues worked out.

Mary Grisaffi started the topic Lap Band being removed in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 2 months ago
Well the time has come and the Band will be removed on Thursday Oct. 5th. After 10 years the band has slipped and is causing uncontrollable re flux. I am not scared about the actual surgery but about what will happen after with my weight. Granted I have not had any saline in the band for almost two years so not much restriction but without it…[Read more]

Ok I’m back with foods:
- Sausage Egg McMuffin (sigh…)
- Chicken Schwarma
- I will have a protein bar in a bit
- I’m not sure about dinner although I’m leaning toward keeping it simple with a ramekin of cheesy meatballs.
I will make it to Zumba tonight!!!

I know that drained feeling all too well! Be kind to yourself and don’t overdo!
We’re still in recovery mode from all the stress. My husband is still employed! However, I think that he will be trying to get a transfer to the main location (about 2.5 hours from here, so the cleaning out and prepping the house to sell continues.)
This morning, I’m…[Read more]

I…am a slouch.
I’ve just been so TIRED lately. I have labs coming up but honestly I think it’s just the discomfort I experience while sleeping. I’m not sleeping well and it’s finally catching up with my body. I got all dressed yesterday to go to the gym but I felt like someone literally drained my body of all energy. I slept ok last night…[Read more]
