Not me – maybe next year!

LOL Robin!  I unplugged for nearly two hours today, which is rare!  I’ll stop eating by 7:30 and did eat meals prepared at home, although I stopped at the grocery store to get a protein bar after an extra hard workout.  I’m at 62 oz. of water and not sure I can push 10 more in!

Today is get the house ready for company day. Actually company’s not coming until Friday and Saturday, but my husband’s birthday is tomorrow and I will be busy making his favorite dinner and baking his favorite cake.

So, I’ve already mopped the kitchen, next up is vacuuming the house and getting caught up on laundry.

Breakfast… I haven’t had…[Read more]

My pups!

Mid week check in…food is all on track and I’m following my weekly plan. I’ve only walked 13 miles (goal is 35 for the week), so time to get my ass in gear!!

Unplugged and hit 72 oz. of water.  Prepped my meals as planned, and will stop eating by 7:30.

The water hasn’t had that impact for me, Nikki, but I would go with it for sure!

I’m in “OUCH” mode. I had slacked off on doing my PT exercises.( Read that as quit doing them completely!) I knew I was in trouble on Father’s Day when I pumped up my grandson’s little swimming pool for his birthday party. It really hurt! I’ve been letting it recover and today decided to get back to my PT exercises. I managed to do the two warm…[Read more]

Working on getting my fluids in. Have been unplugged all day until now.

Had a shake for breakfast. I had a realization about why I always tend to go for shakes in the AM. I have never been a breakfast eater. Even as a child, it was a constant battle with my mom. Breakfast made my stomach hurt. So then Carnation came out with “Instant Breakfast”…[Read more]

Yay!  It’s always good to hear you’re doing the right things

I ended with 64 also. I met the other 3 goals.

All signed up! I’m looking forward to this!

Currently at 88 ounces!

I’m at 68 ounces right now, was unplugged all morning and am having roast and veggies for dinner. I had a shake for breakfast at home (didn’t take it in the car with me to the grocery store). Lunch was a turkey and provolone “sandwich” on two of my cream cheese/egg pancakes. These are working out really well as a bread substitute.

Today has been busy! I literally didn’t sit down from the time I got up before 6 AM until I sat down to eat lunch at 1. Except for in the car driving to and from the grocery store. Housework mostly caught up. Meal prep for the week as done as can be done.

Steps are done for the day (actually I’m about 7,500 steps over goal)

Breakfast was a…[Read more]

Nikki & I were just saying today that one of our easiest fast meals is deli meat & cheese rolled up with a pickle, bell pepper, or cucumber! Another short cut I use is a rotisserie chicken without the skin.  I add a little Rao’s marinara sauce and cheese, or throw it in a salad and voila!

Welcome!  I also sit (and talk on the phone) for a living, which is ironic given that I’m a total introvert.  I’m in the other Washington (Seattle).  Glad you’re here 🙂

And the water is definitely becoming more habitual!   40 oz. so far, and food is all home prepped today.

BTW, what’s the July challenge?

Hi, Lissa and welcome to the family! This is a great place to be! I’m Robin and am 2.5 years post-op RNY and am also trying to lose that last 25 pounds!

40 is just a fond memory for me (I’m 61),but I do have a 36 year old daughter who is a social worker in Boston. I live in Hewitt, TX just a hair south of Waco where we’re already having temps in…
