I had a good day! I got my walking done. Everything I ate was sooo yummy too.

For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions.

For lunch I had a PB&J quesadilla on half a high fiber tortilla.

For snack I had a lunch meat roll up.

And for dinner I had Cajun sausage and peppers.

I also prepped some spicy breakfast burritos for…[Read more]

Yep! That definitely counts as your 5k walking! 🙂

Sorry they screwed up. Hopefully they’ll make it ridiculously easy for you to reschedule.

It looks like a busy day today. Working about 4 hours and then cooking and tidying the house for a Labor Day family birthday cookout this afternoon.

Breakfast was yogurt and it looks like lunch is going to be cheese and grapes. Were doing steak in the grill for dinner with a brown rice casserole and watermelon.  That should met my goal of…[Read more]

Ok, totally bummed since today didn’t start as planned. I was eager to get started with designing a workout plan today and had scheduled an appointment for 10:30 a.m. this morning at Planet Fitness. Got there and was told that the trainer was off today AND the person listed on the website didn’t work there. The staff person totally apologized and…[Read more]

Morning!

Seeing my doc abt my hip tomorrow and hoping to have some info abt whether I can train for the 5k or not. My…[Read more]

I did great this week.  I did an hour each day at the Y and got all my protein in.

Today has been a great day!!!  Cleaned up after son, DIL and granddaughter left and organized toys I have the grandkids when they are here!!! My husband and I went antique shopping and just messed around — had a great day.

Breakfast – breakfast tacos

Lunch – slider and onion rings at a little burger shop in a small town near our house

The whole locker room/no ladies room thing is a long story. I know I’m behind on fluids today but finding a potty in NYC is tricky. So it was a balance. I may have gotten close.

i did ok emotionally this week. M&m’s were had, my GMI dropped but it recovered. I made conscious choices vs mindless ones.

Todays food options were less than optimal,…[Read more]

Thank you.  That link is just what I was needing.

Well, yes, for the mini-pledge…but I hope that isn’t the end of you using the Weekly Plan forum!

I’ll be tallying up stuff on Tuesday. I THINK there were maybe 6 of you who did the mini-pledge all the way through (don’t quote me on that as I’m only going by memory) so I think the odds are ever in your favor! 😉

Best wishes for an uneventful procedure, Sue!

I found this article that has a good breakdown of carbs, and at the bottom is a big old list of complex carbohydrates for you to try: http://www.livestrong.com/article/27398-list-complex-carbohydrates-foods/

I hope that at least gives you a starting point. I’ll look forward to hearing how things are…[Read more]

That last paragraph…that’s the crux of everything. There is no such thing as a perfectly executed plan. Something always happens that we don’t anticipate. It’s how we respond to those situations that makes or breaks our end-goal.

I think you’ve got a pretty good attitude about it all.

Good luck with your first week of school!

Happy Sunday, Maria!

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear about your triumphant return to Planet Fitness. 😉

Woot! I think with as many steps as you get each day, the 5k training will be a breeze. Just to let you know how I’m approaching it, I am just adding whatever they say to do for a day atop the walking I was already doing. I figure if I do that, then I am truly challenging myself. I hope that helps!

Good luck with everything. You’ve been handling…[Read more]
