I’ll be finishing up with at least 88 ounces. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’m having my snack at bedtime so I can actually sleep! As for this week’s challenge, I was unplugged for most of the day.

Sure!

First report of the day, I’m at 48 ounces. As for the not eating for 60 minutes before bed. That doesn’t work for me. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night with a growling pouch that keeps me up the rest of the night even if I feed it. I’m not looking at this as a failure to succeed in the challenge, but more of something I’ve learned…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Okay… I got through three extremely stressful days of drs appointments for my husband and didn’t resort to stress eating A SINGLE TIME!!!!</p>

68 oz today. And no food before bed. Almost check. And check.

Finishing at 86 ounces for the day. I will be having my snack much closer to bedtime tonight to see if this stops me from waking up in the middle of the night with a growling pouch. I’ll keep y’all posted on how it goes tonight.

I don’t have measurements, I do it to taste but it’s Heinz reduced sugar ketchup, lemon juice and Reese prepared horseradish all mixed together. I learned to make this for my dad by the time I was around 10 years old. That was A LONG time ago! I quit making it after he died almost 27 years ago but started up again using the reduced sugar ketchup…[Read more]

Just over halfway – 18 miles so far.  Strength training: 1 down, 1 to go.  And we started some new stuff, so I’m sore!

(hmmmph – I still don’t believe your doctor!)

I’m running behind on my water today, but I’ll catch up. My food free hour before bed isn’t working out so well. The last two nights I’ve woken up with a severely growling pouch in the middle of the night. Last night I ended up having to get up and eat a snack. Not good as my ability to make wise choices  goes out the window and I tend to grab…[Read more]

I did make my list! And today’s thing was to relax. It’s not going too well so far. But, I’m working on it! Actually , the best part of today will be the drive to and from Temple. Nothing to do but chat with my husband. Sometimes, I think that’s why we always drive somewhere on vacations. Just so we have time to talk with no interruptions!

Starting my day off with the lovely job of paying bills. YUCK!!

Getting these mailed and then off to get some shopping done for my grandson’s birthday party on Sunday. My husband has another appointment down in Temple today so that will take up a good part of the afternoon and evening.

Breakfast was a Premier protein shake mixed with coffee and…[Read more]

I have. I really don’t eat sugar as a general rule – definitely no added sugar as it’s not even in my house. When I added sweets back in, I chose xylitol which is all natural but lower carb and lower glycemic index. I use it in my coffee and anything I bake.

The one thing I use artificial stuff in is my water flavoring (I hate plain water).  My…[Read more]

Those first 2 or 3 days are brutal; after that, it’s really easy!

Went out with a friend tonight and got home late. Ate dinner and fell into bed 🙁

On a good note, I’m still inching toward 72 oz!  Hit 68 today

Until you decide if/when/how a change may be in order, could you put aside some of that good paycheck for self care?  It may be labs, vitamins, a personal trainer, a massage. Anythi g that helps you be in your body and self-loving

I think Nikki said it all.

88 ounces so far.

I had my snack 60 minutes before bed last night and woke up at 3:15 this morning with my stomach growling. I’ll see how it goes tonight.

Updating.. I’ve had another 16 ounces for a total of 104.
