Ok, ok!  I’m here!  My days are basically all the same…  lol. But!!  I did get my nails done!  Food is doing pretty good… and i’m Staying away from wine so there’s that.  Exercise is on hold till I get some weight off due to the horrible pain in my knees!  Other than that…one Day is much like another. 😜

Wow. Daily Check-ins is getting lean.

I may have to start tagging folks again.

@hrdlckwmn, where you at?

@blanche-j-2, where you at?

@beffietheteach, where you at?

@baylorbev, where you at?

@kspot42, where you at?

As for me…WHEW! Today was insane. In. Sane! At work I was in charge of launching a fundraising campaign and I launched it. And…[Read more]

I did my lunchtime walk. And I went to Zumba!

The walk made me realize something important. There is something about physical exertion that helps me control anxiety. I think that part of the reason why I’ve been feeling more anxious lately is because I haven’t been moving as much as I normally would.

So I think I need to focus hard on that in…[Read more]

I don’t think intuitive eating has to be at odds with logging/tracking.

It does take some mindset shifting though.

I eat pretty intuitively. By that I mean, I eat when I am hungry. And I eat as much as it takes for me to not be hungry anymore. Some days I get hungry a lot. Some days I don’t get hungry at all. I just sort of go with what my body…[Read more]

Ok so here’s how things shook out:

1. I called my general breast surgeon and my reconstructive surgeon. General surgeon, I have an appointment with him on the 27th. Reconstructive…sigh…that’s another post but long story short, I have a feeling I’m about to have to jump through more hoops.
2. I did get some of the laundry folded so…yay!
3. I…

You’re doing such a great job with purging/organizing!!!

Today it is raining cats, dogs and chickens here in Baltimore (yes, chickens too lol). I think this may be the remnants of Nate but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it’s fast moving. The clouds are just whizzing by and they bring rain on top of rain on top of rain.

At work today, I…[Read more]

Robin you were the lone Foodie yesterday! I’m sorry about that.

I needed a day off of being me. So I took one.

Today has been better, probably because I stayed in bed until I actually slept. Sleep deprivation (especially long-term) does whacky things to your body and your SOUL. But I’m better now.

Today I went and got my veggie haul from Gather…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

I see today you meet with the nutritionist. I want to hear how that goes, please.

Have you been making more time for yourself this week? I know you made time for ME by looking at that e-book. I’m very thankful.

Mid-week sweep! How are things going?

I hope the stress is manageable my friend. 🙂

Ok here’s how the day shook out. Not great but it is what it is!

• Sausage Egg McMuffin for breakfast
• Indian butter chicken w/ salad for lunch
• Power Crunch Bar for snack
• A chalupa from Taco Bell for dinner

Mostly because I just really was in an “I don’t care” kind of mood. I thought this morning about why that was and have determined it’s…[Read more]

This is relatively minor. Three years ago when OAC Convention was in Orlando the hotel ATM machine apparently had a card skimming device affixed to it and someone made off with $5,000 of my money! After fighting with the bank (who thought I spent it and was trying to recoup…because, like, I would do that, #1. And #2 by the money was withdrawn…[Read more]

Did my Zumba! Felt good.

Ok so your mother-in-law is going in my prayers ASAP.

My boyfriend has both Type II diabetes and stage 4 kidney disease (he has both kidneys but is on peritoneal dialysis) so I know how those things can complicate other stuff.

While I think your husband is right, I think you are right too. You’re a worrier. That’s part of who you are! So I think…[Read more]
