    Today’s been pretty good. A cold front that was supposed to bring rain and temps in the upper 40s this morning, didn’t. It’s very windy but the sun is shining and we stayed in the 60s all day. Now tomorrow morning is supposed to be in the 40s.

    After church we had a quick lunch and then went shopping for some dress pants for hubby (no luck there)…[Read more]

  • Today has been good. I did my “happy thing” (food photography) after church and that felt good. I realized I like being in a hands-on creative space. It’s very calming for my mind. I’m going to get back into my project to update blog pics. That will do double duty as me prepping healthy meals, so it’s a win-win.

    Eats for today haven’t been…[Read more]

    Saturday was a good day for me. My oldest daughter is home on break and we hung out. I got my tire fixed (someone hit my car and bent my rim). The rim was fixable. Later in the day I learned the tire is not so much. I was driving and the darn thing popped! Turns out it also had a huge nail in it. Bah!

    I can’t remember my eats from yesterday but I…[Read more]

    Morning!  Rough emotional day yesterday!  I hate being taken for granted or …. yeah, that!

    anyway, kids were pretty good with a very moody, sassy 10yr Old in the mix!  Made scalloped potatoes for dinner…yum!  Funny how there are 5 people living here, 2 of which are children, but i’m Always alone! 😳

  • Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

    Not much going on. Working on the house as always. I did have to finish up getting my oldest daughter’s birthday gift so I could get it in the mail to be delivered on her birthday Monday. It’s hard for me to believe sometimes that I have a child that is about to turn 37!

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake

    Ok, ok!  I’m here!  My days are basically all the same…  lol. But!!  I did get my nails done!  Food is doing pretty good… and i’m Staying away from wine so there’s that.  Exercise is on hold till I get some weight off due to the horrible pain in my knees!  Other than that…one Day is much like another. 😜

    Wow. Daily Check-ins is getting lean.

    I may have to start tagging folks again.

    @hrdlckwmn, where you at?

    As for me…WHEW! Today was insane. In. Sane! At work I was in charge of launching a fundraising campaign and I launched it. And…[Read more]

  • I’m finally over the stomach bug my husband shared with me. However, last night was one of those nights that I just didn’t sleep. I finally dozed off just after five this morning. Unfortunately, the alarm goes off at 5:20. So I’ve been pretty much useless today. I ended up skipping my support group meeting.

    Meals have actually been small snacks…[Read more]

  • Robin Miller replied to the topic October 11 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 2 months ago

    I’m definitely late posting. Sorry about that! I’m finally feeling better from the stomach bug. I spent the morning getting the oil changed in my husband’s car and then getting his “dress up” clothes ready to go to a close work friend’s funeral tomorrow.

    Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake

    Lunch… Well, I never actually got around to eating…[Read more]

  • Wednesday. HUMP DAY!

    It’s rainy again. Blah. But at least it’s cooler. I’m rooting for fall. I wish it would come and stay a while!

    Not much planned today. I’ll do my walk at lunch if it doesn’t rain. Tonight I need to get some stuff done around the house.

    Eats I’m not sure of. This morning I did have a homemade biscuit with an egg and some…[Read more]

    I did my lunchtime walk. And I went to Zumba!

    The walk made me realize something important. There is something about physical exertion that helps me control anxiety. I think that part of the reason why I’ve been feeling more anxious lately is because I haven’t been moving as much as I normally would.

    So I think I need to focus hard on that in…[Read more]

    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]

    Apparently, I have caught whatever it is my husband had this past weekend and yesterday. It hit me after lunch yesterday. Last night was miserable.

    I’m going to try to get the books to the library today, but at the moment it’s pretty iffy.

    A close work friend of my husband’s died and the funeral is Thursday. We’re supposed to be taking a four…[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:

    I hope he feels better soon, too! When he’s home sick, it throws off my entire day. I’m going to be out for a good chunk of the day between lunch and grocery shopping. I’m hoping he’ll sleep most of the day. I really believe that this is stress related although he won’t ever admit it.

  • 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]

  • Well, I can’t donate the books today because the library is closed for the holiday. So, one more day.

    My husband is home sick, so that always makes it difficult to get things done. Lunch with my sis and a trip to the grocery store (without sis!) Steps and liquids, of course.

    Breakfast will be a vanilla Premier Protein shake mixed with some Chai…[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]
