Thursday night I got to bed a little after 2:00 am.  As for Friday night, it is now 6:24 am on Saturday, and I haven’t been to bed yet.  Oh, well.

Didnt get out today, not even for mail.  Not comfortable walking down my steps right now.  Maybe tomorrow (today?).  Still thinking on Friday time, but it already is tomorrow😄

Had about 50 ounces to d…[Read more]

Wow!  That sucks. Hopefully you can get some insurance help. Your stress plan sounds good. Wishing the best!

Yup!  But sadly, I fell short on one strength workout. I didn’t realize how many extra events I had this week.

Nik, I might be able to help. I’ve worked in health insurance for 20 years and know the system. If you want me to look, send me some details about your plan – the policy would be great if you have it.

Meanwhile, I think your stress mgmt plan sounds solid – you’ve got this!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Today has been a good day so far! My husband surprised me last night with dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So I have LEFTOVERS!!!!! My sister called right as I was getting out of the shower and said she and my 2 year old grandson were at the park. So I threw on some clothes, clipped up my dripping hair…[Read more]

Wow, just wow! I had a feeling that it might be something along those lines. The first thought I had was a go fund me account! I know you may be reluctant to do that, but I can’t think of a better purpose for one!

And, yes, that was in fact the “short” version.

Ugh. Bras.

Someone finally hipped me to a bra company that makes bras for women who have had mastectomy/reconstruction. Because that’s a whole other layer of bra struggle right there. Interestingly, you don’t need a bra post-reconstruction for the same purposes as women with breasts need a bra (women with breasts need lift. I do not need lift)…[Read more]

I was planning on going to Starbucks yesterday, but was too dizzy to drive.  So I didn’t get out at all.  Unfortunately I went to bed at 6:20 am this morning, and the cats woke me up after 5 hours, chasing a fly.  So, I’m kinda tired today.

Still dizzy and dopey, so Scott picked me up and took me shopping today.  Had to walk a bit slowly, but at…[Read more]

Grazing is mostly better. I’m walking a LOT! Did day four of the planks today and am up to three sets of 14 push-ups each. Wall push-ups as my physical therapist banned me from regular ones. Also the planks are forearm planks for the same reason. (plus my hands and wrists can’t take the pressure of regular planks/push-ups due to bone spurs and…[Read more]

I’m running very late posting today. I went to my bariatric support group meeting today. Sometimes it’s hard to be there when I’m the only one that’s over 8 months post-op (2 years 9 months) and the only one who has had an RNY. BUT, I enjoy the counselor who runs the meeting (our discussion every month comes from Michelle May’s “Am I Hungry?”…[Read more]

Work is exciting. Thankfully the tired and negative attitudes that some of my Coworkers get have not set in yet. This year I am devising a plan to combat the grumpiness. I am the Meme Master and will be sending out Fun and positive reminders and such as the time goes on. The bulk of OT (Over Time) starts next week when people actually start…[Read more]

Thankfully it looks as if the bulk of overtime doesn’t start until next week so this week I can focus on prepping my home and fam and spending some extra time resting. We got the phone call last night that my Husbands bariatric Surgery has been approved. WOOHOO! hopefully, in the next couple of days, we will get a surgery date. I’m a little…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

So far, so good. I have been keeping up with the 5k plan, even though I was feeling a little sick this week. My immune system went into stealth mode though so I’m feeling a lot better today. Still, I am going to cancel the live show tonight as I want to get one more night of rest before trying to resume full throttle…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

You’ve been reporting back so faithfully I feel like I personally have a good idea of what’s going on with you, but would you mind recapping for our fellow FNC citizens. You’ve been doing great. 🙂

Mid-week sweep!

But what I really wanna know is this. How did “breakfast cookie, take two” go? Was it better this time around?

Mid-week sweep!

I feel like I have a good sense of what’s going on with you from your daily check-ins but for the benefit of our fellow FNC citizens, could you give us a recap?

I think together we can come up with a good plan for you to adjust to this new schedule of yours. Many heads are better than one!
