Susan Sheipe replied to the topic Pick a 2018 Word of the Year in the forum Countdown to 2018! 6 years, 5 months ago
The word that comes to mind for me is persevere. I have several projects started here that I haven’t been working on. Mainly because I wasn’t feeling great, but I really need to persevere and complete them. If I’m being honest with myself, I can push through and do more.
I also need to persevere with my weight loss, so I can get my knee rep…[Read more]

I’m still brainstorming my word but I’m leaning heavily toward “Strong.”
This isn’t just physical, but that’s a big part of it. Before the cancer I was big on strength. My weight almost didn’t matter to me as much as my strength did. I lifted weights, worked out a lot. I loved how strong I was getting! Then I got my mastectomy and have since lost…[Read more]

A friend of mine got me to doing this a few years back and it’s become a tradition I love, which also helps me.
I invite you to join me in picking a word for the year.
So…what does that even mean?
Well your word for the year should symbolize what you want from your life for the year. For example, if your past year was tumultuous, maybe your…[Read more]

Because it’s never too late to make a plan.
Here’s when I plan to go to the Y the next few days:
- Today: Immediately after work before going grocery shopping.
- Saturday: In the morning, before my wig appointment (This may be vain but I refuse to mess up a fresh wig job at the gym!)
- Sunday: Right after church before I get lazy and…

Ok, Y Challenge Day 1. I’m ready!
I plan to go to the Y after work for a 30 minute treadmill workout. I still have the crud so I’m not going to push it too hard at the gym, but I will get there!
Eats so far:
- Peppermint Mocha protein shake
- I’ll have half a chicken shawarma wrap I have leftover from yesterday
- Power Crunch Bar and a…

Wow!!!! December already!!! Lists, lists and more lists have been my morning so far. It’s kinda freaking me out how organized I’ve been lately. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop though. My lists give me a sense of control and helps to feel a little less stressed.
Anyway, my food list for the day is not planned, which I know isn’t a good…[Read more]

I ate too fast. Ate too much. Now I want to die!!!
(Not really, but it feels awful.)
Otherwise, I’m ok today. Fighting a cold. I have eaten crappily today. Egg McMuffin for breakfast. A wrap w/ fries for lunch. Now I feel miserable. That’s exactly what I get!
Dinner will be nothing. With a side of nothing. With nothing on top!
I did go for a…[Read more]

Ok, ok I’m still alive @nikki-massie!!! Life for me for at least the last month has been more than crazy and stressful. My mother-in-law’s 2 surgeries, finding out the problem with the atrophy in my right hand and that it cannot be reversed but surgery will stop the progression, surgery scheduled for December 20 (yeah, right before Christmas),…[Read more]

Ok I can be accused of letting self-doubt get the better of me and I started avoiding this site like the plague because the lack of activity, frankly, makes me feel like a failure. Well…enough of that. I started this site because I wanted a place dedicated to accountability, which includes holding MYSELF accountable. So here I am. And I am…[Read more]

I’m very proud of you for joining Good Measures! I hope it’s helpful to you.
My commitment this week is to get back to using this site. I think I got bummed that there wasn’t much activity and started to practice avoidance but I think I’m over that. I’m ok with whoever chooses to use or not use it. If it is just you and I in here, I couldn’t ask…[Read more]

@robin-miller I feel like I have failed you! So sorry I haven’t logged in. My job has been NUTS lately. I think it will start to calm down and if it doesn’t…well…I’ll be out after December 13 for my surgery anyway!

Monday! Let’s get this party started.
So firstly, I did not get everything done that I wanted to this weekend. Sigh. And in reality it was laziness. I just didn’t feel like it. So I’m going to break stuff up into smaller pieces. I need to start prepping the house for the holidays. I’ve got yard stuff. Dog stuff. It’s a lot!
For today, I’m going…[Read more]

Preparation and organization. Those will be my theme words for the remainder of the year!
Food prep this week: as I type this, I am sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store. I’m going to go get fixings to make crockpot mushroom chicken and I’ll serve it over cauliflower rice and that will be my lunches for this week. Later today I’ll…[Read more]

Today was a pretty chill day. Went to Trader Joe’s to get riced cauliflower stuffing (see video on BF Facebook page), came home, putzed around the house and now am waiting on dinner to cook while watching a movie with the kid.

Yesterday was AWESOME! I took the train to DC, spent all day wandering around the museum. It was just so wonderful. A lot of things that were hard to look at/hear but still a good trip.
Food was sketchy.
I had a breakfast sandwich for breakfast
A slice of pizza for lunch
And I had the insides of a gyro for dinner.
I walked a lot but I haven’t…[Read more]

Today is FIELD TRIP DAY!
Im going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC. And all by myself too. That’s a big deal because I’m an extrovert. I never do stuff by myself lol.
I’m taking the commuter train down there and public transport to get to the museum. I’ll treat myself to a light breakfast at Union Station…[Read more]
