I got my 15 minutes of walking in…just in five minute spurts! (I purposely walked to places I would have driven to on the way home…cuz the rain threw me off, man!)

Nightly check in.

LONG DAY! Launch season is gonna be crazy! Super fun but crazy!

Breakfast- shake
Lunch- Tacos
Dinner… oops…

If others are into it and someone else besides Nikki coordinates it (because, much as I love you all, it’s Pledge planning time and I don’t have time to coordinate) go for it!

Try posting this in the FB group as well to get feedback. 🙂

Ok so I will recognize first and foremost that I am stepping out of bounds of what is my business here to ask but…

Why does your MIL have so much control over what happens in your house?

That. Right there. Is how you can tell you are not making excuses. You are adjusting your plan to fit your reality.

Now make it so! 😉

@nikki-massie The cleaning lady stresses me out because my Mother-in-law stresses out when she comes. She is a “friend” that she pays under the table to come and vacuum and clean the toilet once a week. She is supposed to be doing a lot more but she doesn’t. There is a joke that goes around about how she doesn’t look up if she can’t see it at eye…[Read more]

Thank you @kspot42 and @nikki-massie for your input. I will post the recipe in the recipe swap forum with the typed recipe and the changes I made as well as the book’s title and author.

It’s a rainy, chilly day (mid-60’s) here in Upstate New York. My plan this morning was to get everything cut up for dinner and hit Planet Fitness to do the treadmill (when I got there I was going to ask a staff member how to use it). Well, I ended up standing way too long on my feet cutting up the veggies and chicken and maybe because of the…[Read more]

today I have 2 goals

1.not freak out at people.
2. find some organization.

I am in a “people are dumb” mood mostly thanks to work. When you have to sift through 10,000 tweets and 9,900 of them are wrong wrong wrong and bigoted and hateful it takes a toll on my spirit. also, I am in a “why can’t people just be nice? is it really that hard?”…[Read more]

I’m so stoked you posted early! And your day sounds way funner(er) than mine. 😉

Robin how do you do with fruits and veggies? Whenever I find I’m too snacky (for whatever reason), baby carrots and veggie crudites become my best friends. I know you are supposed to deal with the reason you want to eat and yadda…but sometimes quite frankly I have to engage in what I call “defensive eating,” or, eating very filling foods that…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’re taking a proactive stance on the “scale surprise.” It’s easy and understandable to get down about that sort of stuff. But I love that you are instead taking action!

So you’re going to a conference, eh? Question: How many conference meals do you think you’ll be having? (Conference meals = meals provided directly by the…[Read more]

Today is haircut and color day!!! YAY!!! I go with my former next-door neighbor and then we go to lunch!!!  We always have a great time and it is so much fun to catch up!!  I also have to take my dachshund to the vet for a laser treatment on her back this afternoon.  I plan to do my 15 minutes of walking this evening —  weather is perfect her…[Read more]

Aww, thanks.  Met my goals, and even washed dishes.  Today was a good day!

True fact: recipes cannot be copyrighted. So it’s not illegal to share a recipe you got from a book with someone else. Good form would be to share the recipe along with book information (title, author, and probably a link to the book). The one caveat is that you should never post a photocopy of a recipe book. If you share a recipe, you’d need to…[Read more]
