Thanks so much @nikki-massie!!! I received my packages yesterday and love everything. PB2 is one of my favorites (especially the one with chocolate) because I love peanut butter. The power crunch bars are delicious and mint chocolate flavor is another one of my favorites!!!

Grocery shopping done. Meals planned, some prep done (breakfast and lunch). Worked on my daily schedule for the week with the hope that it goes much smoother than last week.

Forgot to eat breakfast today, leftover veal and peppers (and a little linguini) for lunch, steak and baked potato for dinner.

Week was NUTS!  Not only did I have all of the things to do, but I hurt my arm/shoulder (not sure how) and found myself unable to raise my arm past my waist (or sleep either) for a few days.  It is doing much better now (although not completely better) but that effected my workouts (I got to the gym twice) but I made sure that I got my steps in. I…[Read more]

My day consisted of a trip to the grocery store with my daughter and lunch downtown at my daughter in law’s favorite Mexican restaurant. It was an early birthday celebration (her birthday is Monday) I had a great time with the grand babies and had some good food. Now we’re watching TV and I think that I’m about to head to bed because I have a…[Read more]

I drove yesterday!  Woo hoo!  My spinning head and shakiness are improving slightly every day, so I was able to drive to the nursery in the country, and buy some mums.  Still not comfortable driving in heavy traffic, but it feels so good to get in a car and go.

Scott came over again today to help me move some furniture and cat stands to better pl…[Read more]

Holy Cow! We just got back from my husband’s back injection to the news about his work.

At the location that we’ve been consolidated with, over 100 managers have been fired. At our location, two entire departments have been fired. We’ve been told that for today, my husband’s department is okay. He cautiously thinks that some, if not all, will be…[Read more]

Today is cross training day and so off to the gym to work with my trainer.   I then have a few errands to run and back home.  Plans are to work in my craft room and maybe a little time at the pool.  We have had temps 98-99 the past week and mid 90’s for the next few days before a cool front finally dips south next week with temps in the low 80…[Read more]

Okay — I got back on this evening and realized the post I never posted the message I typed out this morning.  Obviously I didn’t have my act together!!! Haha!!  Oh well — I had said I was going to work in my craft room unless my husband had other plans and yes — he had other plans so my craft room has been moved to tomorrow.  Oh — I hope th…[Read more]

Thanks @nikki-massie!!! I figured that out yesterday and have ordered them.

The week is going great so far.  I’ve gotten at least 85 grams of protein every day and usually more.

I scheduled my gym appointment a d I’ve been working on my resume.

PT is going well. I’ve made measurable progress.

Woo hop

Today I am feeling a little less guilty, stressed, anxious and negative. In fact I started feeling a little better yesterday after I picked up my grandson and seeing his smiling face and the I love you’s and kisses from him. My son played hockey all through college and yeah, you’d think I’d be used to injuries (and still plays occasionally) and he…[Read more]

Yay @nikki-massie!!!!

Thanks @lissam124!!!

Thanks for checking in on me!! This week has really taken a toll on me. Needless to say, most of my plans weren’t accomplished. I did manage to make all of my dinners except the one on Tuesday (turkey meatball stroganoff). It’s ironic that I mentioned the curve ball above and it actually did happen in a big way. I’m still not quite over the guilt…[Read more]

My middle child (aka younger daughter) is coming to visit today through Sunday. She’ll keep me company tomorrow in the waiting room while my husband gets his back injection. Saturday, she and I are going to get up early and go to the zoo while it’s still relatively cool. As I was putting clean sheets on the bed and a freshly washed blanket and…[Read more]

That is a good question!!!  The main thing is she holds me accountable but I guess because I pay for it I make sure I am there.  We have also become friends and I enjoy talking with her while I’m working out.  As I sit here and think about it and try to answer the question — the main thing that keeps coming back is accountability.  Nothing tha…[Read more]

Today has been a good day!!!  I have been to do the gym for my cross training and I also walked 20 minutes.  I always feel so much better after I have worked out — just need to motivate myself to do it every day not just days I’m with my trainer!!!  Got my nails done on the way home from the gym and now I’m heading upstairs to work on my craft ro…[Read more]

Today has started somewhat slowly, but I’m starting to pick up speed a little bit. I ate something yesterday that didn’t sit well at all. (I have know idea what as I didn’t have anything new to eat) I didn’t sleep well at all. I’m cautiously thinking things are better today.

I’m making progress on cleaning out the house. As soon as I get the rest…[Read more]
