Thanks for the Book info. I’m gonna check it out!

I love that so many are taking time on the self-evaluation. What kinds of things are you cooking at home? are you cooking for just you?

Woohoo for road trips! I Understand the work stress! do you have ideas for stress relief while at work? What kind of work do you do? are you at a desk all day? One big thing I have found that helps is on my breaks and my lunch I Walk AWAY! I go outside, I face the sun and I Breath. I have also found that hugging a tree helps. I know it sounds…[Read more]

Good Luck with everything @sueo. Sounds like you have a good solid plan!

@beffietheteach Good luck with Back to School! Forgive and Be Curious is the best way to attack screw-up! I saw something one day that said “Failure is proof of trying” I don’t like the word failure in there so I try to remember “Screw-ups are proof that I’m doing something” Please share your Crock Pot Recipe! My family is not big on chicken but I…[Read more]

@robin-miller I’m right there with you with the home office. Mine is terrifying some days. Good luck with your cleaning and organizing. Do you have a plan of attack or just gonna dive in head first?

What kind of Chicken Salad (I know you said yet to be determined but are you talking about chicken and greens or like Chicken Salad sandwich type stuff)? Figuring out how to make things that I will (a) want to eat more than once or twice. and (b) last longer than a day or two. I love your plan for the 5K. I’ve had a plan however that now much…[Read more]

Today will be a “catch up day” for me. Laundry, picking up house, working on my self-assessment. Although the 5k training plan states that if “you are new to training today could be a rest day for x-training”, I did ride 20 minutes on my recumbent bike (yay me!!).

Breakfast – scrambled eggs and piece of gluten free toast

Lunch – most likely…[Read more]

I am done training for yesterday and today so I’m all caught up.

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

I did not get my walking in today but will definitely be doing it tomorrow.  I was out most of the day looking for items for my new craft project — Garden Flowers!!!  So I did walk through several craft malls but not vigorous walking so will be doing that tomorrow.  🙂

Breakfast: protein shake

Lunch: chili

Dinner:  fajita meat, refried beans and cheese

I just signed up and did not do my 15 minutes walking today.  I will double up tomorrow and do Monday and Tuesday stuff.

It looks like a busy day today. Working about 4 hours and then cooking and tidying the house for a Labor Day family birthday cookout this afternoon.

Breakfast was yogurt and it looks like lunch is going to be cheese and grapes. Were doing steak in the grill for dinner with a brown rice casserole and watermelon.  That should met my goal of…[Read more]

Lol, I love it when you’re nosey!!!

Dinners – posted today’s dinner in daily check in (smoked beef ribs and marinated mushroom and tomato salad)

Turkey sausage and cannellini bean casserole

Ole chicken and bean stew

Whole roasted chicken with potatoes and brussel sprouts

Breakfasts – Savory Broccoli and Cheese Bread Pudding and scrambled…[Read more]

Ok, totally bummed since today didn’t start as planned. I was eager to get started with designing a workout plan today and had scheduled an appointment for 10:30 a.m. this morning at Planet Fitness. Got there and was told that the trainer was off today AND the person listed on the website didn’t work there. The staff person totally apologized and…[Read more]

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]

I did great this week.  I did an hour each day at the Y and got all my protein in.
