I did!  Planning is done, just have to purchase some tickets this week

Happy Labor Day!

Today is laundry day for me. Plus “flip the mattress over” day since my husband is off and can help me out.

So, laundry and what I can get done in our home office to start cleaning it out.

Breakfast will be an omelet

Lunch the chicken salad I made yesterday

Dinner is still undecided

I’m adding extra time to my walking today…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Still cleaning out the house. More yard work today. Lots of listening to my husband talk about what’s going on at work.</p>
Breakfast never happened

Lunch – I made some chicken salad and had a protein pudding for dessert

Dinner will be my husband’s seafood gumbo. He has it simmering on the stove and the smell is…[Read more]

Mini pledge check-in! I didn’t do as well as I had hoped on getting liquids in. Actually, I stunk at it. But, hey, from where I am now, it can only get better! ?

Started the day by sleeping in for a change. Then up and busy. The hope is to get some outside things done over the weekend. Mowing and trimming the yard and moving some plantings around to make room for some new crepe myrtles we bought for the front of the house. However, while the temperature outside isn’t all that terrible, the humidity is a…[Read more]

All good…except the vacation planning! But I’ve got time to get that done this weekend

Another day of cleaning out the house. Of course, now  that the workers that volunteered to quit are gone, rumors are running wild. The funny thing is, they’re coming from another company location! My husband is getting after work phone calls from friends at the company location two hours from us about what their hearing is going to happen and w…[Read more]

I posted about (vented) in my daily check-in. Tomorrow will be a very interesting day at my husband’s work as all the ones that took the separation package will be gone. Hopefully, we’ll find out more about what’s going to happen with the rest of the employees. Whatever it is, we can deal with it. We just need to know what “it” is so we can.

Today is a strange one. It started on a good note. All of my husband’s family that have been dealing with Harvey are safe and sound. The ones that weren’t effected by the initial storms have had to be evacuated yesterday due to overflowing reservoirs or the second landfall of Harvey. We had a very tense night as one of the cousins that had been…[Read more]

I can’t seem to get going today. I’m sleeping at night but don’t seem to be resting. That’s making it difficult for me to get started in the mornings.

More of the same for me today. Cleaning out the house as much as I can. I got rid of a bunch of stuff that I haven’t been using out of the kitchen yesterday. I’m hoping to get more of it done…[Read more]

I do – London!

WELLLL…it did help me manage my stress, but didn’t actually help me work any less! So my exercise plan went out the window last week.

Since our mini pledge challenge has been extended a week, my pledge this week is to work on drinking liquids before I snack to try and keep the stress eating to a minimum.

Today has been a very quiet day for me. My husband is working on his resume. I’m pretty much taking advantage of the quiet as my week will be a stressful one.

Breakfast was Greek yogurt and a power crunch protein bar.

Lunch was some turkey (I was going to have the rest of the kale salad but my husband beat me to it)

Dinner is still up in the…[Read more]
