  • I’m a lot late to this as I’ve been thinking about a word for the year & mercy of all things is popping up

    I know that I expect way too much out of a broken body & it needs mercy, permission to rest & recharge so that I can continue.

    I realized after Monday at the Y that I feel better physically, mentally & spiritually AFTER exercising.

    I nee…[Read more]

  • IT’S BLEEPING COLD!

    And for some reason, out of the blue, my incision started aching. Not sure what that’s about.

    I had my usual (sausage egg mcmuffin) for breakfast. I am planning on going to the gym later. Not sure about (super late) lunch.

    Btw, I’m going to be on a CNN show! I’ll post the link when I get it.

  • I know hubby is sick which has probably set you back. How’s this week going?

  • Oh no, Robin! I hope he gets better soon. You guys don’t have time to be sick!

    Nik

  • We had a completely sick household last month, too – feel your pain. Hope you both feel better soon!

  • I’M GOING BACK TO WOOOOOOOOORK!

    (In case you are wondering, this is a good thing. I was SO BORED!)

    So the rest of this week is likely to be busy but that’s ok. Here’s what I have of a plan for this week so far:

    • Food: I’m going to finish up some chicken soup my boyfriend made with half sandwiches for lunches. We need to grocery shop next…

  • I have been so absent in my life lately. I know that sounds weird, but it’s my truth. I got wrapped up in a stressful job that basically sucked the life out of me and consumed me. In October, I made the difficult decision to walk away from a pretty decent paycheck in order to get myself back. I’ve taken the last couple of months off but plan to…[Read more]

    First and foremost, wishing @nikki-massie a speedy recovery after her surgery yesterday!!! You are in my thoughts!!

    To put it bluntly, I have been a total bitch lately (please excuse my language). Telling people what’s on my mind and am at the point where I am sick of always doing for others and neglecting me and I am actually telling them…[Read more]

    Robin, no apologies since many of us have dropped the ball (so to speak) and haven’t been active in posting. Wishing you all the best during this transition period and stop yourself when you feel overwhelmed and take several deep breaths very slowly in and out to help release some of your tension.

  • My word is going to be  confident . I need to trust in what I’m doing is right.  Confidents that my choices are important.

  • Last few days before surgery and your girl Nikki is STRESSED OUT!

    Not by the surgery. That is in God’s hands and I trust His will shall be done. (Still, prayers and positive thoughts, please!)

    No…I’m more worried about the stuff I have to get done BEFORE surgery. Namely, all the rest of the email and social communication for my job through the…[Read more]

  • Hey there! I’m so late, but how did your plan go last week? I saw that your hubby was offered a job. Congrats!

    How are things going with Good Measures? And with packing/purging? And with taking care of YOU???

  • I would put myself at 90% over this cold. There’s some lingering congestion but the fatigue has gone away. In fact, I was up LATE last night because I have slept so much in the past few days that I wasn’t really tired. Also, I went to the gym last evening and evening workouts always cause me to get a burst of energy that makes sleep…[Read more]

    So from what I can see you seem to be eating out a lot, which is probably due to the fact that you are super busy and likely tired after all you are doing!

    Is there a way to eat at home more easily? I know my supermarket makes pre-prepped meals that you just throw in the oven. Or you could buy a rotisserie chicken and a few easy sides and eat off…[Read more]

  • Donna replied to the topic December 6 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 6 years, 4 months ago

    I’m here & trying.  Life has been so challenging since 11/3 ( hubby had RNY with issues & a week in rehab) between hubby, wee one relapsing with cutting & the eldest with her issues, THEN realizing my mother in law is at her mortal end but just won’t let go (I’m too bloody much like her I fear).  Personality issues in a hobby of mine left me feel…[Read more]

  • Maria A replied to the topic December 6 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 6 years, 4 months ago

    Hey @nikki-massie!!! I miss all of you too!! Today we arrived in NOLA. Was hoping the weather would be better than Upstate New York, but for the whole time we are here, it’s going to be in the 40’s and 30’s and for the most part rainy. Oh well, we’ll have a great time anyway!! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as much food planning since we’ll…[Read more]

  • I just love how when I am all like, “I’m gonna start posting every day again!” I get sick and don’t post for a few days. Sigh.

    Ok so today. First day back at work after two sick days. Blah.

    Food:

    1. Sausage Egg McMuffin (at this point maybe I just need to start planning the rest of my day around these instead of fighting so hard against it. It’s…

  • I was near death!

    No, not really. But the day did suck pretty badly.

    I didn’t eat much. I mostly slept. Didn’t do the gym. Blah!

  • Amen, sister!

    You seem to have a good rationale behind this word so think on it some more. I’ll check back with you before we move on to the next stage of this thing! (Which, yes, I’ve been intentionally ambiguous about.)

  • Ohhhh good word. And the best part about it is that the word can do a lot to inform how you view new experiences, ideas and challenges. Can you think of some things you haven’t been able to do over the years because of various restrictions (location, parental duties, etc.) that you could envision now that you are making some life changes?
