Relaxing with a coffee and my Kindle! 

I’m probably not chewing as much as the doctors advise, but I do pause quite a bit between bites. I typically take 2-3 small bites, then wait a good 5 minutes. I spend that time talking to whoever I’m with or reading when I’m alone. The key for me is not to eat WHILE reading because I go on auto-pilot and don’t notice how much I’m eating or how…[Read more]

My list is started and includes several things I intend to do on my next vacation in September. Can’t wait!

Actually, I was just complaining about my day. I have my list and have set Thursday as the first date to check something off. I’m going to take myself out to “Three Spoons Yogurt” and have a low fat/low sugar frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruit

I started my no shakes/no bars today and I must say, it’s been hard!

Breakfast – cheese stick and a little bag of peanuts while my car’s oil was being changed.

Lunch – homemade chicken salad

Dinner – the last of the chili I took out of the freezer (I love my husband’s chili!)

Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet, but I need to get it figured out…[Read more]

Is this challenge really about how many challenges we can do at once?!

Pan grilled chicken breast with caramelized onions, green beans and sliced kiwi for dessert!

Mine is roasted chicken with homemade pesto. Yummmm!

I’m also working on what’s best for me. I have 68 ounces of my fluids in already this morning. I have about half of my steps in. Breakfast was a cheese omelet. Lunch will be homemade chicken salad. (probably will make enough for several days) and dinner will be a favorite of pan grilled chicken breast and some green beans. (I hated green beans…[Read more]

Keeping my 2 year old grandson while mom and dad finish moving the rest of their stuff from Killeen.

I just finished the second facial in the link posted. It was the “Steam Facial”. I put in a couple of chamomile teabags I had. I enjoyed it thoroughly! It smelled so nice. For the cooling washcloth, I dampened a washcloth and put it in the refrigerator during my “steam” time. I admit that I had to giggle during this. It’s 100+ degrees outside,…[Read more]

He has! And yes, I’ve been getting in the workouts…3x so far this week. I was bummed about book club but will try to catch the replay

It’s been a crazy stressful few days.  I asked my husband for help, which I don’t usually do for this kind of stuff, and then I took my dogs to daycare and vegged in solitude for a couple of hours. {{big exhale}}

I’m excited about this!

My treat for today was a nap! After keeping my 2 year old grandson yesterday, I needed one. So, apparently, did my dog, who joined me at some point! 😁
