Today I have “the sads.” I think it’s actually hormonal. My hormones have been whacky since my mastectomy. But I woke up today just wanting to cry and that feeling is not backing off. I’m not sad about anything in particular. I just want to cry is all. Sigh.

Plan for today:

Breakfast sandwich
Whatever they serve at Lunch Bunch (weekly lunch…[Read more]

DONE!

I am so sorry. I know that feeling of not being totally surprised at a passing, but not knowing that this would be the day.

I’m glad you came here to tell us about it. And I’m thankful you recognize that ice cream won’t make you feel better. She was a part of your family. You loved her. And you have to grieve her.

But for now I’m sending you…[Read more]

I am a hugger. So if you meet me, watch out! I’m gonna hug you.

I hope your headache gets better!

With regards to the weigh-in. Let’s not tell ourselves the story of being “good” the day before the weigh-in. You are eating well today because you deserve to treat your body well!

Telling yourself the “day before the weigh-in” story works when the weigh in goes the way you want it to. Not so much if it doesn’t.…[Read more]

Doing mine tonight. Will report back!

Today, today…

I tell ya guys. I am not doing well on my time management goals! But it’s ok. I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I had my one-year post-mastectomy follow-up today. My breast doctor is just the nicest man in the whole world so I enjoy going to see him. Everything is looking good. No signs of lympedema (which is a risk when…[Read more]

I’m  back on the wagon! I will say that the appetite suppression element of it cleared up pretty fast within just a few days of not taking it.

You are super positive! And I can’t wait to see you do it. What habits are you working on developing?

Each time I see you’ve posted, I smile. I’m very proud of you, in case I haven’t told you lately!

One step at a time. As long as you are moving forward, you’re getting where you want to go – at your pace.

But I’m just really thankful you’re a part of this community. <3

Love this. I call it “right-sizing” your goals. Sometimes if we are having trouble keeping up with an amped up goal, it just isn’t right sized. You can always build onto that!

Be sure to check back in and let us know how it goes!

Getting to the gym might help your mood. So why not set yourself a little challenge of what to do when you get there?

I’m back. FINALLY!

But my house is a disaster. Why. Why do I have a grown child and a nearly grown child and a grown MAN in my house and it is a disaster because I went away three days. I don’t get that. I think there will be yelling in my immediate future. Sigh.

But I’m back. Yay?

Well since I’m away I’ve not done it today and probably won’t tomorrow. But I’m going to finish strong next week!

Travel day!

My eats so far:

Breakfast sandwich with egg whites & sausage
A small bowl of chili w/ cheese and a garden salad

Not sure what’s on deck for dinner. I think I’m on my own for dinner. (Sad face)

Hope everyone else has a great day!

I haven’t done today yet but will when I get home. I like it mixed with fruit punch flavored sugar-free drink mix!

I believe I will continue as well. My eating has been very under control. I hope it’s not the placebo effect BUT I figure maybe there’s something in the gut chemistry that is changing? I dunno.
