I didn’t make it yesterday so today will be McD’s salad but I have the stuff to make it tonight. I think I’m gonna go with my Power Chicken Salad.

Woohoo for road trips! I Understand the work stress! do you have ideas for stress relief while at work? What kind of work do you do? are you at a desk all day? One big thing I have found that helps is on my breaks and my lunch I Walk AWAY! I go outside, I face the sun and I Breath. I have also found that hugging a tree helps. I know it sounds…[Read more]

Good Luck with everything @sueo. Sounds like you have a good solid plan!

@beffietheteach Good luck with Back to School! Forgive and Be Curious is the best way to attack screw-up! I saw something one day that said “Failure is proof of trying” I don’t like the word failure in there so I try to remember “Screw-ups are proof that I’m doing something” Please share your Crock Pot Recipe! My family is not big on chicken but I…[Read more]

YES TO A DMV LOCAL MEET-UP!! Not staying connected to my surgeon after my surgery left me without access to in person support group stuff.

I’m happy to come to Baltimore on a Sat or Sun!!

Also, doc said NOPE to exercise for me. Going to get an ortho consult for a likely dx of bursitis in my hip. Crap.

Thanks for listening 🙂

@robin-miller I’m right there with you with the home office. Mine is terrifying some days. Good luck with your cleaning and organizing. Do you have a plan of attack or just gonna dive in head first?

What kind of Chicken Salad (I know you said yet to be determined but are you talking about chicken and greens or like Chicken Salad sandwich type stuff)? Figuring out how to make things that I will (a) want to eat more than once or twice. and (b) last longer than a day or two. I love your plan for the 5K. I’ve had a plan however that now much…[Read more]

Yay!

I see you there with the gluten-free toast. Good for you for kicking wheat out of your life again!

I’m glad you were able to do the bike, but take it at your own level, always. I’m glad we are doing this. I’m motivated!

Today will be a “catch up day” for me. Laundry, picking up house, working on my self-assessment. Although the 5k training plan states that if “you are new to training today could be a rest day for x-training”, I did ride 20 minutes on my recumbent bike (yay me!!).

Breakfast – scrambled eggs and piece of gluten free toast

Lunch – most likely…[Read more]

I am done training for yesterday and today so I’m all caught up.

I’m not doing a formal 5k. I’m just going to map out a route and walk it! The details about how to do the 5k are forthcoming but you don’t have to sign up for a formal 5k if you don’t want to. But if that’s fun for you, you definitely should!

I was thinking there’s a few of us close enough to meet up maybe? I dunno…whaddya think? 😉

Here goes!

-Doc at 11:15am re: hip. Will know more about 5k training! Nik, which actual 5k are you doing in October?

Food:

Breakfast: shake

snack: babybel

lunch: arugula salad w/chix

snack: raspberries and 1/2 protein bar

dinner: 1/4 peruvian chix w/side salad

I did!  Planning is done, just have to purchase some tickets this week

I did not get my walking in today but will definitely be doing it tomorrow.  I was out most of the day looking for items for my new craft project — Garden Flowers!!!  So I did walk through several craft malls but not vigorous walking so will be doing that tomorrow.  🙂

Breakfast: protein shake

Lunch: chili

Dinner:  fajita meat, refried beans and cheese

I just signed up and did not do my 15 minutes walking today.  I will double up tomorrow and do Monday and Tuesday stuff.

Did you get some vacay planning done this weekend? I think you must have as it’s not on your plan anymore!
