Popping in quick for “Check In”. I’d say that I did pretty good this week with eating slower and making time for my meals. However, I also discovered that I sometimes take too big of a bite and not chewing it enough (especially when eating meats and poultry). So I have begun incorporating this into my meals.

I wish I was better at saying “no” to people who ask me to do things. I’m pretty good about saying no to food pushers!

I love breakfast, and also try to eat every 4 hours, so I start my morning with coffee then breakfast, then vitamins. But everyone is different!

I wish I were better at self care.

13526 steps so far … Food was mostly OK. I did eat 3 bites of my husbands dessert at  a late lunch and had 1/2 of a flatbread pizza for dinner … We start heading for home tomorrow so won’t be walking but will have more control over my food choices

I wish I was a better:

• Habit maker (follow through)
• Not worrying so much about what everyone else thinks of me
• Not always saying yes to everything –learning to say no

I know what you mean Kathy, but think it’s awesome that you are acknowledging your feelings!!! You go girl!!!

Endoscopy went well, he took a couple of biopsies since I had been tested positive in the past for Barrett’s Esophagus. He showed me the pics he took during the procedure of areas biopsied and also a pic that showed that I still had a staple from my WLS!!! I’ll know results in about a week. All of the dinners I had planned for the week didn’t…[Read more]

Off day for me since I had my endoscopy this morning which meant no eating or drinking until after the test (which was about 10:30 this morning). Made myself an egg sandwich around 1:00 (sprouted grain bread, an egg and a little butter) and ate it all over 15 minutes. Had broiled scallops, mac salad and coleslaw (take out) for dinner–ate most of…[Read more]

I wish I was better at follow thru & complying with rules re surgery

I wish I were a better post-op rule follower.

I wish I were a better good habit former

I wish I was better at planning meals, especially breakfast and lunch.

So to put it in the form of your sentence :

I wish I was a better meal planner.

I have such difficulty letting go of living/dying by having people like me. There’s a golf outing this month for a professional group I’m on the board of. I have to go because I’m on the board. I don’t golf. I don’t have the time to be away from the office.

But I’m jealous/concerned because two of my colleagues were invited to golf and be on…[Read more]

Agreed. A friend of mine says “What other people think of me is none of my business.”

What a day.  Work is insane this week with the hours and pressure, I intended to be sugar free but had something with sugar without even thinking about it, and it’s HOT.  Like, swampy boobs, towel your face as you sit at the computer hot. I’m over it.

I was unable to get to the Y again today.  Hubby left before 9 thid morning and hasn’t made it home yet.  Some days are just like that.  But I did exercise here at gone.

10570 steps, ate with no “treats” and made the best choices available, but am actually looking forward to resuming my ” normal ” eating habits on Monday when we get home. We are having lots of fun though 🙂
