Reporting in on week 1.
Yes, Nikki, grains are gone again. In my enthusiasm to add carbs back in, I forgot about that nasty little reason of huge weight gains when I eat them. But I’m not giving up! See this week’s pledge!

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 stepped on the scale this morning and suddenly remembered why I had taken starchy carbs out of my food plan. Because they make the scale take extremely large leaps in the wrong direction. At least I know that if I get a uncontrollable craving for carbs I can eat oatmeal and not have to suffer from gastric upset for days afterwards.
So, today’s…[Read more]

Nikki! Thank you for sending the rain my way! It looks like we’re going to get a LOT of it today!
Today I will definitely be doing my walking inside. I’m behind at the moment as I wasn’t able to get to sleep until about an hour before I had to get up. So, I took a nap.
Now I’m up and going. Catching up on steps and liquids.
Breakfast will be a…[Read more]

So far so good on adding oatmeal to my food plan. I’ve decided not to add more than one new thing a week. Steps and liquids. My husband and I had hoped to get away for a long weekend, but once again, there’s no room at the dog kennel for our Ginger.
Breakfast was an egg and a piece of baked protein oatmeal.
Lunch – I really don’t have a clue at…[Read more]

I just went through and checked. I posted every day.
This was an extremely fun challenge. I really enjoyed it and would love to do another one like this.

I’m working on adding complex carbs to my food plan. So far, I know that rice and wheat are not going to work. My gut actually woke up my husband during the night with all the noises it was making and, well, let’s just say that my system is not happy this morning. So, today is oatmeal day! I have a pan of Nikki’s Fall Harvest Protein Baked Oatmeal…[Read more]

I’m thinking (at this moment anyway) about trying some butternut squash. I tend to only eat summer squashes. I do know that I have to stay away from rice and breads. Both of these cause strange and terrible noises in my system (not to mention pain). I’m tempted by oatmeal. I made some of the baked oatmeal from your breakfast cookbook and couldn’t…[Read more]

Busy day today. Babysitting our two year old grandson for several hours while his parents take care of some moving stuff.
I’m working on adding complex carbs to my food plan. I’m extremely stressed about it because carbs, quite honestly, scare me. But, I seem to stay in a state of exhaustion all the time and am hoping that a lack of carbs may be…[Read more]

First off my pledge this week is to work on adding complex carbs to my food plan. I’m very carb phobic as I have PCOS and carbs were the main instigator of my 180+pound weight gain that led to my RNY. Thank you all you doctors that put me on high carb, low fat diets!
So, in addition to that, I’ll be working on getting my steps and liquids in.…[Read more]

What a fantastic idea! I’m going to find my jar and start adding blessings!….. Four blessings already added. However one of them just arrived to spend the afternoon while his parents head down to Killeen to pack up more things. So I’m going to see if I can get this particular blessing to take his nap!

Today definitely didn’t go as planned. Laundry didn’t get done and the conversation with my husband about how we were going to finish kitchen remodeling came to an abrupt end with a call from our daughter in law. She was on her way to the emergency clinic with my sister and my two grandsons. My sister was in excruciating pain from her back. I met…[Read more]

Clipped, filed and painted. Not a great or even really a good one 😕, but done. I didn’t think I would get this one done as I spent most of the afternoon at the emergency clinic with my sister who was in very severe back pain. (64 years old and no insurance). She got some relief and I managed to slap some polish on my nails.

I will try to get my nails clipped and painted tonight, however I can’t say for sure that it will happen. I’ve spent the afternoon at an emergency clinic with my sister. She’s been having severe pain in her back and hip and reached crisis levels this afternoon. I’ll report back later if I can get them done.

I combined today with something off my fun list (originally scheduled for yesterday) Even though I’m not thrilled about my sister moving here, I called her up and took her out to one of the frozen yogurt shops. We actually had a relatively good time. Now I think that I will go take a hour long nap!
However, my husband surprised me two nights ago…[Read more]

I am working hard to get my liquids in. It’s supposed to hit 103 today with a heat index of 109, so I’m guzzling as much as I can! I almost have all my steps in.
Breakfast was a vanilla Unjury shake turned into a Latte.
Lunch was two chocolate peanut butter balls and a trip to the frozen yogurt shop with my sister to welcome her to town.
Dinner…[Read more]
