I’m tired today and have no idea why. But, steps are done, liquids are almost done.

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake mix with coffee and heated up

Lunch was some homemade chicken salad and some apple

Dinner will be meatloaf and green beans

And bedtime will be early!

I will take the liberty of adding context. 😉

Konica would like to go to Obesity Action Coalition’s “Your Weight Matters” Convention in August in New Orleans. To do so, she would need to secure a sponsorship and plans to ask her doctor’s office and a few other places to drum up support. This requires a letter. She has started writing it but needs…[Read more]

You guys are doing awesome with the water!

Well I give you an A for effort!

Yeah see I don’t want you to spend money if you think that you are likely ignore the thing. But it is important to get enough water! (Dehydration = not fun.) So let’s keep thinking together about ways to improve your water intake.

Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Yes, I usually drink plain water. Water enhancers usually are too sweet for me to drink a lot of. I’ve tried lemon, sometimes the citrus will bother my tummy. Tried bribing myself (at your suggestion) in the morning to drink 16 oz. before having coffee (reward). Tried plant nanny and various other apps on my smartphone, but after a while I start…[Read more]

I’m really glad you’re here. I haven’t said that in a while. 🙂

Are you just trying to drink plain water or do you flavor it? Also do you have a smart phone? Before you try something like Ulla, you might try an app like Plant Nanny.

Are you just trying to drink plain water or do you flavor it?

I definitely did not improve my water intake 😟. For some reason I can’t get my brain to sync with knowing what I need to do and actually doing it. Not sure, but maybe unconsciously I am thinking since I’m not a big fan of water and this requires too much effort that I am shutting it out of my mind so I don’t have to deal with it. It seems like any…[Read more]

I’ve completed my PT exercises this morning and will ride my recumbent bike later. In fact I may try increasing the tension a little, but won’t ride as long. Maybe start out with 5 minutes and see how that goes. I had eggbeaters for breakfast, lunch I’m not sure yet, and dinner will be buffalo chicken breast (new recipe from a Bariatric cookbook)…[Read more]

I’m so proud of you!

Yep, I am going to do my workout tonight. But in general I love the idea of texting to say I am doing it and I did it. It was kinda fun waiting to hear from you too!

Water, about 20 oz. (yet again). I may have to get myself an ulla!!! I don’t plan on eating anything else tonight and will probably head to bed around 11:oo. Majority of the day I’ve been unplugged.

Water, about 20 oz. Unplugged for 1 hour or more at various times during the day. No food at least 1 hour before bed.

Thats true but…apps are easy to ignore. (Especially in situations where you are not paying attention to your phone, like at work.) Ulla is not!

80 ounces in, unplugged most of the day. I ended up having to get up and have a snack not long after I went to bed last night. I had my snack just before bed so I could sleep through the night, but before I made it to bed, my husband and I had an unexpected adventure. He was out back letting the dog have one last trip to do her business and caught…[Read more]
