We ended up having a really good dinner. We had DIY burrito bowls. It was so easy too! The only thing I really had to “cook” was the chicken breast. I also made salsa from my garden tomatoes. Sigh. That is the epitome of life satisfaction for me: making things from food I grew myself.

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]

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! 😳

tomorrow my hubby and I will get out of th…[Read more]

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.

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 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]

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…

Today I took a “me” day. My grandson was off school today but he went to his other grandparents house. I went to the chiropractor this morning and then went and got my hair cut and colored. The rest of the day did some laundry, some food prep for the rest of the week and cooked dinner.

Breakfast –  a couple of slices of turkey breast

Lunch -…[Read more]

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.
