I’m thinking (at this moment anyway) about trying some butternut squash. I tend to only eat summer squashes. I do know that I have to stay away from rice and breads. Both of these cause strange and terrible noises in my system (not to mention pain). I’m tempted by oatmeal. I made some of the baked oatmeal from your breakfast cookbook and couldn’t…[Read more]

First week’s pledge to posted in the Weekly Action Plans.

What a fantastic idea! I’m going to find my jar and start adding blessings!….. Four blessings already added. However one of them just arrived to spend the afternoon while his parents head down to Killeen to pack up more things. So I’m going to see if I can get this particular blessing to take his nap!

I’m in. I may have signed up twice. This week has been crazy and while I think I signed up the day you posted this, I can’t for the life of me remember for sure.

I don’t do nail polish but I buffed mine!

Today definitely didn’t go as planned. Laundry didn’t get done and the conversation with my husband about how we were going to finish kitchen remodeling came to an abrupt end with a call from our daughter in law. She was on her way to the emergency clinic with my sister and my two grandsons. My sister was in excruciating pain from her back. I met…[Read more]

Clipped, filed and painted. Not a great or even really a good one 😕, but done. I didn’t think I would get this one done as I spent most of the afternoon at the emergency clinic with my sister who was in very severe back pain. (64 years old and no insurance). She got some relief and I managed to slap some polish on my nails.

I will try to get my nails clipped and painted tonight, however I can’t say for sure that it will happen. I’ve spent the afternoon at an emergency clinic with my sister. She’s been having severe pain in her back and hip and reached crisis levels this afternoon. I’ll report back later if I can get them done.

I fell off the challenge wagon yesterday, but today’s was easy! I spent an hour+ having coffee with one of my best girlfriends whom I’ve known for 30 years.

Knee is doing pretty well! And yes, met with my trainer on Wednesday and staying on plan except for breakfast yesterday and today. I just didn’t feel like making more pancakes, so I had an egg yesterday and protein bar today.

I combined today with something off my fun list (originally scheduled for yesterday) Even though I’m not thrilled about my sister moving here, I called her up and took her out to one of the frozen yogurt shops. We actually had a relatively good time. Now I think that I will go take a hour long nap!

However, my husband surprised me two nights ago…[Read more]

I am working hard to get my liquids in. It’s supposed to hit 103 today with a heat index of 109, so I’m guzzling as much as I can! I almost have all my steps in.

Breakfast was a vanilla Unjury shake turned into a Latte.

Lunch was two chocolate peanut butter balls and a trip to the frozen yogurt shop with my sister to welcome her to town.

Dinner…[Read more]

I had a shake for breakfast today and things have gone much better. I’ve had a lot more energy today. Lunch was a shrimp cocktail and dinner (presented to me hot and cut up by my hubby), was grilled chicken and green beans. I’m now impatiently waiting for my 30 minutes to pass because I am SO thirsty! It’s still over 100 degrees out and we’re…[Read more]

Thank you note written and mailed.

The vitamin challenge!

I really wasn’t feeling this one today but I did it anyway. And the coffee was delicious!

My weekly goal of only eating “real food” has hit a major bump in the process. I have never been a breakfast eater. From the time I was in elementary school, I have had trouble eating breakfast. When Carnation came out with “Instant Breakfast” it ended a daily battle between my mother and I. I have done battle with my nutritionist over the fact…[Read more]
