I have had a good week.  I did finish watching the videos and I will be finishing up the Self Evaluation tomorrow!!! On track and very happy that I did this — it has been good and helped me realize how I need to set goals and make them attainable.  I also like how I am addressing challenges that I face daily and actually making them a goal to w…[Read more]

Today I had a doctor’s appointment — just check-up and everything is great!!! 🙂  I then went bra shopping!!! I hate bra shopping and today just added to that!!!  I have changed sizes and need one that is wireless and that is a major challenge.  Oh well — the task is done and I came home with 2 bras so I won’t need to go again for a very long ti…[Read more]

I was planning on going to Starbucks yesterday, but was too dizzy to drive.  So I didn’t get out at all.  Unfortunately I went to bed at 6:20 am this morning, and the cats woke me up after 5 hours, chasing a fly.  So, I’m kinda tired today.

Still dizzy and dopey, so Scott picked me up and took me shopping today.  Had to walk a bit slowly, but at…[Read more]

1. groceries, done
2. book club – later today if I don’t die
3. financial planning – excellent. have a plan for a new car.
4. GM receipt – need to be in my office for more than 5 minutes. I’m still hanging in the lab. Argh.
5. Assessment is on the schedule, too. For tonight
6. I’m about to kill myself here at work, so I will do something for me.

Work is exciting. Thankfully the tired and negative attitudes that some of my Coworkers get have not set in yet. This year I am devising a plan to combat the grumpiness. I am the Meme Master and will be sending out Fun and positive reminders and such as the time goes on. The bulk of OT (Over Time) starts next week when people actually start…[Read more]

Thankfully it looks as if the bulk of overtime doesn’t start until next week so this week I can focus on prepping my home and fam and spending some extra time resting. We got the phone call last night that my Husbands bariatric Surgery has been approved. WOOHOO! hopefully, in the next couple of days, we will get a surgery date. I’m a little…[Read more]

Thinking of you Nik.

Took my hip out for a walk last night and it went great-I was able to move easily for an hour. Phhheeewww.

Breakfast: shake

Lunch: big salad w/chicken and feta

Snack: blueberries, celery and hummus

Dinner: either roasted pork loin or grilled salmon

One thing: I was supposed to cook the pork loin last night but ended up…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

So far, so good. I have been keeping up with the 5k plan, even though I was feeling a little sick this week. My immune system went into stealth mode though so I’m feeling a lot better today. Still, I am going to cancel the live show tonight as I want to get one more night of rest before trying to resume full throttle…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

You’ve been reporting back so faithfully I feel like I personally have a good idea of what’s going on with you, but would you mind recapping for our fellow FNC citizens. You’ve been doing great. 🙂

Mid-week sweep!

But what I really wanna know is this. How did “breakfast cookie, take two” go? Was it better this time around?

Mid-week sweep!

I feel like I have a good sense of what’s going on with you from your daily check-ins but for the benefit of our fellow FNC citizens, could you give us a recap?

I think together we can come up with a good plan for you to adjust to this new schedule of yours. Many heads are better than one!

Mid-week sweep!

I know how book club planning is going (and THANK YOU again for taking that on!), but what else is going on? Have the other things on your plan happened yet?

Mid-week sweep! I feel like I know how your first goal (about bedtime) is going. I know getting out of the house has been challenging. How are you feeling about that?

I hope everything is going well. Looking forward to reading all about it!

This is a “sorta” mid-week sweep because some of your items aren’t due yet. I see you’ve been posting, which is great!

How are you feeling as your work life ramps up?

Mid-week sweep! How is everything going? Have you been avoiding grazing? How’s the walking going? And the planks? I hope you’re doing ok!

So for me:

• Finances: I don’t wanna talk about it. But I have an accounting software program called Xero for BF that I need to incorporate + I heard that Mint is a good app.
• Schedule: my old school planner book has been working fabulously.
• Ideas: Evernote! Seriously I need to do an Evernote training one of these days. It’s changed my life.

Kudos on the “early” bed time! I’m just so glad you’re back to posting. I really missed you.

I think you’ve made an important observation.

Since this is a change that’s not going away anytime soon, look at your routine and see what you can do to still be as organized as you want to be without being so stressed every day. I’d encourage you to think about “batching” things if you can. Batching is the process of taking one chunk of time to…[Read more]
