week end check-in:

logged all week. didn’t overeat with my parents.

got to 70 oz every day except today, but I haven’t gone to bed yet.

i think it was fat that killed my GMI, but I kept an eye on what i was doing and listened more to my body.

didn’t make it to the gym. regroup for this week is in the plan (will post a new plan elsewhere).

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]

Unfortunately, no “aha” moments. Mainly trying to stop and see if I’m really hungry, thirsty or wanting to eat out of stress. I’m definitely still doing too much stress eating.

It’s just now hit me that today ends this challenge. I was sitting here trying to decide what my next pledge was going to be. 😕

For the most part I accomplished my goal.  I did miss my check-in yesterday as all I was concerned with was family and friends dealing with Hurricane Harvey.  I honestly thought about needing to check-in but every time I was about to get on my computer something happened  I know that is not an excuse!!!  Checking in should be a priority but the…[Read more]

I’m here! Been super busy with work and life but doing well!

It’s been a busy day for me, also. We’ve been looking at flooring for the house all day. I’m battling a vicious headache.

Breakfast was sausage and lentil soup and some Greek yogurt

Lunch was a Quest bar in the car

Dinner will be turkey breast and some kale salad

Snacks will probably be shakes or bars

Happy, happy birthday! 🎂🎈🎁

Happy birthday!

So today is my birthday. I  am 30 years old again (ok, you might want to add a few years, like maybe 25???, cause it may be a little impossible for a 30 year old to have a 31 year old son 😆). So far today not doing too bad food wise. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, lunch was salad with blackened grouper and a complimentary piece of key lime pie,…[Read more]

Ok, guess this is last day for check-in on the mini-pledge. This week I did not do that well at meeting my goals, but realize that I was the one responsible for my actions. No one or nothing is to blame but myself. Therefore I am taking ownership for not meeting my goals .

Today has been a good but busy day.  Went with my husband to a follow appointment on his shoulder replacement.  Surgery was May 31st and today they finally wrote PT orders to start strength training!!!  YAY!!!  I am so ready for him to be able to lift more than 5 lbs.  Of course it is still a long road but I’m building muscle because of it!!! :)…[Read more]

Hey Nikki!! Yes, made it to Florida yesterday and so far we’re having a great time!! Had problems connecting to the Wi-Fi yesterday, but all is good today.

I have to confess, I haven’t been doing that great meeting my goals this week, but as I noted in the Daily Check-in I am doing much better today.

I wanted to blame not meeting my goals on…[Read more]

Yes, I made it to Florida yesterday, but had problems trying to hook-up to the Wi-Fi. Finally was able to accomplish today. Didn’t make very good choices yesterday food wise. Of course I’m blaming lack of sleep and jet lag as the culprits, but know I made the choices so there is nothing or no one to blame but myself.

Anyway, so far today I’ve…[Read more]

I feel like I understand the difference now and have tried to post in the daily check-in post every day so I guess you can say so far so good!!! 🙂

hitting the water. check.

walked from the airport to the car. sweaty check.

gym? unless I go this weekend, nope. Post-vacation is so unfair.

My GMI was ok, and then I went off the rails last night. I fixed it today. Fixed meaning I ate better and made better choices. I wasn’t logging before this exercise and didn’t realize how bad some of my…[Read more]

Today has been from Hades…

2 hour appoint with joint implant dr only to be told keep doing pt for the knee implant (45 mins sitting in lobby, um NO. My time is important also.  I usually would have left & rescheduled but hubby would have been furious), patella tendonitis (um haven’t I been mentioning to the dr for 2 years that my knee hurts).…[Read more]
