I’m still here I promise. Yesterday was crazy and so is today but I am making time for you all.

Today we have to run to Boise. It’s a 4+ hour trip. My oldest has an appointment which his Pediatric Gastroenterologist. That is a whole bunch of my stress. And it’s a long story. But hopefully we are making headway. Plus we are meeting up with a…[Read more]

I’m going to go with getting 90 grams of protein daily again this week.

And I’m adding that I will get 30 minutes of exercise a day for at least 6 days.

I have met these goals for Sunday  and today.

I have been struggling with snacking on the pretzels and potato chips left in the communal area at work.  I will bring healthy snacks so when I am feeling hungry I will have something to eat.  I will up my fluid consumption as there are times when I think I am thirsty and not hungry.

Breakfast: scrambled egg whites with baked bacon
Lunch: Low carb pizza bites
Dinner: crockpot pork tenderloin and salad
Snacks: protein bars, blueberries, lemon-sour cream pudding

Exercise: Walk ~30 miles, strength training 2-3x

I’m also trying to focus on managing my work stress by categorizing what I control v. influence, and I have a massage…[Read more]

I finally made it to a zoom meeting last night. I didn’t dismiss my reminder on Insta of snooze on accident. I did have to stay up way late to make sure I watched game of Thrones before the spoilers stated, but so with it. Thank you for letting me share my story Nikki. Even thigh I’m not active here i get so much out of watching you guys, which as…[Read more]

My goal for this week is to read and understand what the  Weekly Plan is and start using it!! I’m not sure if I will be able to post my plan at the beginning of the week but hopefully by mid week.  Truly not sure what all the weekly plan entails so I want to totally understand it before I start posting.  I plan to read Nikki’s information and th…[Read more]

My plan for this week will be to continue my menu planning and try 2 of the recipes I found this week.  I also want to get a plan together for my return to work (sept 1) and figure out when I can work out/gym etc vs after school meetings etc.  I will put this all on my calendar for Sept.  (I also have to start my lesson plans for school so that I…[Read more]

I’m with my parents. They eat screwy. Like, big breakfast on sunday after church and then no lunch… so I adapted (nuts for snack!). I’m working to keep my plan and food logging is going to save me!

this week.

Get 70 oz in daily.

watch carb intake to keep Good Measures index above 60 (if I understand it?) – try to keep balance with vacation,…[Read more]

My husband and I are working on a plan to get done all that we need to do. About to head out to look for a couple of good sized bushes to replace our small rose bushes on the front of the house. (can you say “curb appeal”?). Hubby’s going to work on his resume tonight.

Breakfast was very late (more like lunch time) and was sausage and lentil…[Read more]

My pledge this week is to concentrate on mindful eating. To stop and think about whether I’m really hungry or if it’s stress getting the best of me.

I’m definitely headed into a crazy season of my life! My focus has had to under go a radical change. Steps will have to very possibly take a distant second place to doing everything I can to finish…[Read more]

On Thursday (8/24), we will be leaving for Florida until 8/29. So, as far as meal planning this week it’s going to be difficult. Leftovers are planned for today, tomorrow and Tuesday.

I guess my pledge for this week will be to continue eliminating dairy and wheat from my diet, and make the best choices as I possibly can when eating out while on vacation.
