I MADE IT TO ZUMBA!!!!

I think I may have overdone it as my shoulder and neck hurt. I really need to be careful with my movement until I get these issues worked out.

I finally felt as though I needed to do something for ME today!  I joined a diet bet, rejoined Weight Watcher’s and went for ab2+ mole walk!!!

i am tired and my knees hurt, but I am determined to keep it up!!

also found out this afternoon that my daughter is going to file for divorce.  It’s been a long road for her, but she’s done and wants t…[Read more]

Ok I’m back with foods:

1. Sausage Egg McMuffin (sigh…)
2. Chicken Schwarma
3. I will have a protein bar in a bit
4. I’m not sure about dinner although I’m leaning toward keeping it simple with a ramekin of cheesy meatballs.

I will make it to Zumba tonight!!!

I know that drained feeling all too well! Be kind to yourself and don’t overdo!

We’re still in recovery mode from all the stress. My husband is still employed! However, I think that he will be trying to get a transfer to the main location (about 2.5 hours from here, so the cleaning out and prepping the house to sell continues.)

This morning, I’m…[Read more]

Nice meal plan!

I need to come to your house for dinner. 😉

Ok see that last one…LOL!

Good plan. Now go work it!

You know what I call “boring goals”? HABIT BUILDING!

That’s what you are doing. You’re building a habit of eating the proper amount of protein. So it should show up as long as you need until (and even beyond when) it feels like second nature.

Good plan!

Well the McD’s sandwich is a true mystery as the fat in the sandwich theoretically should fill me up fast (any other kind of fat does in very small amounts).

With starchy stuff, basically there are two things going on:

1. It reduces to nothing inside your stomach, so you have room for more of it than other hard proteins which don’t reduce in…

So here’s the wonder of a RNY pouch.

Sausage Egg McMuffin = goes down fine,  noooooo problem.

Protein shake = full after three sips!

But I have a shake this morning NOT the breakfast sandwich so I consider that a win to start off my Monday. 🙂

Today my mission is to nail down a venue for my daughter’s sweet 16. We are so behind the curve! We…[Read more]

Busy day. First church and then home to fix a nice lunch before my daughter had to head home. Then over to the house of the guy who shares my husband’s office. He had his big oak trees trimmed and we went over to get the limbs as their fireplace isn’t a wood burning one and ours is. So, we loaded all of the wood into the back of the pickup and…[Read more]

Yikes! Sorry to hear that!

I definitely understand the inconvenience of the arm thing. My right arm does the same thing from my big surgery last year. I cannot lift it but so far up and I cannot reach back with my right arm. My doctor is going to put me in PT once my reconstruction is over.

I’m glad you made it through this week! Kudos.

Yay for you!!!

My day consisted of a trip to the grocery store with my daughter and lunch downtown at my daughter in law’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was an early birthday celebration (her birthday is Monday) I had a great time with the grand babies and had some good food. Now we’re watching TV and I think that I’m about to head to bed because I have a…[Read more]
