I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s  necessity. I feed myself + four other grown people so food goes quickly! When cooking for myself I usually make two things. My kids are in charge of Taco Tuesday. And then we always have at least one “wing it” night (which this week will be when we make “zushi”).

I think it’s probably pretty…[Read more]

Just wanted to report in before I head to bed early. 80+ ounces in, unplugged most of the day, about to have my snack before bed.

Some of the meals I have planned for the week are :

Breakfast – shakes, cottage cheese with fruit or peanut butter in it, eggs (most likely omelets)

Lunch – leftover roast and veggies, sandwiches made with my grocery…[Read more]

Got my 80 ounces in.

Clear!

As for the other challenges, I have 60/80 ounces of liquids in so far today. I’m still eating my snack at bedtime and am actually getting a bit of more sleep. After yesterday’s extremely STRESSFUL day with my dog, I’ve been unplugged most of the day just relaxing and reading.

For the next challenge, I have made 3 double batches of Unjury…[Read more]

About 30 oz. of water yesterday. Unplugged several times for an hour (in between me bugging Nikki). I ended up having a protein bar just before I went to bed. Friday and Saturday nights are usually eating dinner out with my husband, so these meals tend to be planned but unplanned. Rest of day I ate what was available at home.

I do tend to weigh myself just about every day when I get up in the morning. This is just something that I have done for most of my life. Before even thinking about WLS it used to dictate how my day was going to be (if I was up, it was going to be a bad day and would “eat” to try and make me happy, if it was down, it was going to be a good day and…[Read more]

About 30 oz. of water, unplugged majority of the day, no food 1 hour before bed and the only unplanned item today was the Isopure fruit protein water I bought when I stopped at GNC for vitamins and some protein bars.

Water – I don’t wanna talk about it (like 25 oz. oy…)

Unplugging – did that!

No eating before bedtime will happen.

No infection just extremely bad allergies. She’s in surgery now to drain the hematoma. The vet will give her an allergy shot that should relieve things for up to 2 months. She’s be able to come home in a couple of hours with antibiotics and pain meds. Plus a cone. THAT will be a new experience for all of us!

Fair enough! The recommendations for water are just that. Recommendations! But I think my personal goal in this challenge was not so much about the goal itself but to always be mindful of water intake. I certainly was not very mindful about it so I think doing this challenge just helps me remember water intake is a part of a healthy lifestyle and…[Read more]

What you said “as important as my steps…” YES!

My feelings exactly. It’s one measurement of many, one piece of a bigger picture.

86 ounces in, currently having my snack before bed and I was unplugged most of the day. I actually ran errands and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I had left my phone at home! All food was made, portioned and eaten at home.

I don’t know what’s going on with me. I wake up with plenty of energy, but by lunch time, I’m barely dragging myself through the rest of the day.

Steps and liquids are in. Shake for breakfast, I don’t think that I ever ate lunch and some homemade shrimp scampi for dinner.
