Nice meal plan!

I need to come to your house for dinner. 😉

Ok see that last one…LOL!

Good plan. Now go work it!

You know what I call “boring goals”? HABIT BUILDING!

That’s what you are doing. You’re building a habit of eating the proper amount of protein. So it should show up as long as you need until (and even beyond when) it feels like second nature.

Good plan!

Well the McD’s sandwich is a true mystery as the fat in the sandwich theoretically should fill me up fast (any other kind of fat does in very small amounts).

With starchy stuff, basically there are two things going on:

1. It reduces to nothing inside your stomach, so you have room for more of it than other hard proteins which don’t reduce in…

So here’s the wonder of a RNY pouch.

Sausage Egg McMuffin = goes down fine,  noooooo problem.

Protein shake = full after three sips!

But I have a shake this morning NOT the breakfast sandwich so I consider that a win to start off my Monday. 🙂

Today my mission is to nail down a venue for my daughter’s sweet 16. We are so behind the curve! We…[Read more]

Busy day. First church and then home to fix a nice lunch before my daughter had to head home. Then over to the house of the guy who shares my husband’s office. He had his big oak trees trimmed and we went over to get the limbs as their fireplace isn’t a wood burning one and ours is. So, we loaded all of the wood into the back of the pickup and…[Read more]

Sweet!  Yay for you!

Yikes! Sorry to hear that!

I definitely understand the inconvenience of the arm thing. My right arm does the same thing from my big surgery last year. I cannot lift it but so far up and I cannot reach back with my right arm. My doctor is going to put me in PT once my reconstruction is over.

I’m glad you made it through this week! Kudos.

Yay for you!!!

Week was NUTS!  Not only did I have all of the things to do, but I hurt my arm/shoulder (not sure how) and found myself unable to raise my arm past my waist (or sleep either) for a few days.  It is doing much better now (although not completely better) but that effected my workouts (I got to the gym twice) but I made sure that I got my steps in. I…[Read more]

My day consisted of a trip to the grocery store with my daughter and lunch downtown at my daughter in law’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was an early birthday celebration (her birthday is Monday) I had a great time with the grand babies and had some good food. Now we’re watching TV and I think that I’m about to head to bed because I have a…[Read more]

I drove yesterday!  Woo hoo!  My spinning head and shakiness are improving slightly every day, so I was able to drive to the nursery in the country, and buy some mums.  Still not comfortable driving in heavy traffic, but it feels so good to get in a car and go.

Scott came over again today to help me move some furniture and cat stands to better pl…[Read more]

Holy Cow! We just got back from my husband’s back injection to the news about his work.

At the location that we’ve been consolidated with, over 100 managers have been fired. At our location, two entire departments have been fired. We’ve been told that for today, my husband’s department is okay. He cautiously thinks that some, if not all, will be…[Read more]
