Ok I can be accused of letting self-doubt get the better of me and I started avoiding this site like the plague because the lack of activity, frankly, makes me feel like a failure. Well…enough of that. I started this site because I wanted a place dedicated to accountability, which includes holding MYSELF accountable. So here I am. And I am…[Read more]

I’m very proud of you for joining Good Measures! I hope it’s helpful to you.
My commitment this week is to get back to using this site. I think I got bummed that there wasn’t much activity and started to practice avoidance but I think I’m over that. I’m ok with whoever chooses to use or not use it. If it is just you and I in here, I couldn’t ask…[Read more]

@robin-miller I feel like I have failed you! So sorry I haven’t logged in. My job has been NUTS lately. I think it will start to calm down and if it doesn’t…well…I’ll be out after December 13 for my surgery anyway!

Monday! Let’s get this party started.
So firstly, I did not get everything done that I wanted to this weekend. Sigh. And in reality it was laziness. I just didn’t feel like it. So I’m going to break stuff up into smaller pieces. I need to start prepping the house for the holidays. I’ve got yard stuff. Dog stuff. It’s a lot!
For today, I’m going…[Read more]

Preparation and organization. Those will be my theme words for the remainder of the year!
Food prep this week: as I type this, I am sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store. I’m going to go get fixings to make crockpot mushroom chicken and I’ll serve it over cauliflower rice and that will be my lunches for this week. Later today I’ll…[Read more]

Today was a pretty chill day. Went to Trader Joe’s to get riced cauliflower stuffing (see video on BF Facebook page), came home, putzed around the house and now am waiting on dinner to cook while watching a movie with the kid.
B: a slice of toast + 2 fried eggs
L: Uhhhh…I guess it was riced cauliflower stuffing with sausage

Yesterday was AWESOME! I took the train to DC, spent all day wandering around the museum. It was just so wonderful. A lot of things that were hard to look at/hear but still a good trip.
Food was sketchy.
I had a breakfast sandwich for breakfast
A slice of pizza for lunch
And I had the insides of a gyro for dinner.
I walked a lot but I haven’t…[Read more]

Today is FIELD TRIP DAY!
Im going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC. And all by myself too. That’s a big deal because I’m an extrovert. I never do stuff by myself lol.
I’m taking the commuter train down there and public transport to get to the museum. I’ll treat myself to a light breakfast at Union Station…[Read more]

Here’s how food shook out for me:
-breakfast sandwich
-green salad w/seafood
-a few bites of mashed cauliflower w/added protein
-a handful of pretzels
I thought I ate a lot today but typing it out, maybe not so much…

I’m here!
Today is a pretty chill day. I have tomorrow off because I finally got tickets to the new Smithsonian African-American museum. I’m very excited to go. I’m going with my boyfriend though. I hope he doesn’t try to rush me through it. I plan to spend the whole day.
But today is rainy. I have the live show tonight so I have some running…[Read more]

I know how this feels. That’s what happened with my alopecia. Wasn’t caught in time and is now irreversible.
I do think you need some time and space to focus on your health stuff. Is there anybody at all who can help with your MIL so that you have some room to do that?

Mid-week sweep!
Did you get to that meeting? And how’s the meal planning going?
Sorry I’ve been so absent. I got slammed at work. But I’m BACK!

Did I mention that today I was DYIIIIIING? OMG.
Long story short (and TMI) cramps since my mastectomy have been horrible. I never had them before. Now I get migraines, random weepy days, super-cramps and, just for fun, occasionally a hot flash.
Lovely.
So today was a super-cramp day. And I mean it was bad. I was up most of the night because I…[Read more]

Wow. That’s a lot, Maria!
Well first, I agree with your therapist. Good for you for letting yourself have a good, old-fashioned cry!
And also I’m so glad you’re having a relaxation day. Those can be lifelines in the middle of a sea of stress.
I’m so happy to see your post. <3

Ok! It’s November. Just a short slide until the holidays. Time to pick out my holiday goal. Usually my holiday goal is to do the Y “12 Days of Fitness.” This year that will be PART of my goal, but I feel like I need something more.
So brainstorming a few ideas (not all these are eating/exercise related):
- I’d like to make most of my Christmas…

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Halloween!! ? in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 1 month ago
Oh that was CUTE!
My Halloween was pretty uneventful. I worked. Came home. The kid and I watched The Addams Family and Gremlins. Last year we got zero trick-or-treaters so I didn’t buy candy this year and guess what? Kids came to our door! I felt bad but oh well. I guess maybe next year I’ll get a small stash of Tootsie Rolls (which I personally…[Read more]

I think my body is starting to turn on me. (Starting???)
I woke up with a stiff neck and shooting pains in my jaw and forehead. I’m just really sick of feeling crappy!
I am going to take this as a sign that I need to do better with taking care of myself. So far all I’ve had today is a slice of wheat bread w/ peanut butter. I do need to go get…[Read more]

So. Party’s over. (Literally)
I have a few priorities this week. I think I’m going to start following that format in the self-assessment for things I want to be held accountable to, so:
- Eating/drinking: I need to go grocery shopping! My lack of groceries has led to me eating out way too much. I don’t like it. Not only because it’s not healthy…
