Ok, ok!  I’m here!  My days are basically all the same…  lol. But!!  I did get my nails done!  Food is doing pretty good… and i’m Staying away from wine so there’s that.  Exercise is on hold till I get some weight off due to the horrible pain in my knees!  Other than that…one Day is much like another. 😜

Wow. Daily Check-ins is getting lean.

I may have to start tagging folks again.

@hrdlckwmn, where you at?

As for me…WHEW! Today was insane. In. Sane! At work I was in charge of launching a fundraising campaign and I launched it. And…[Read more]

Thanks Robin!!! 🙂

Thank you Susan!!!

Ok — thanks so much!!! 🙂

I’ve missed posting.  I am glad to be back from vacation and I am getting back in my normal routine.  I did have a great time and yesterday and today have been amazing weather wise.  Low 70’s in North Texas — unfortunately we will be back in the low 90’s by the weekend.  Ugh!!!

Will walk this evening with my hubby.

Breakfast: protein sha…[Read more]

I did my lunchtime walk. And I went to Zumba!

The walk made me realize something important. There is something about physical exertion that helps me control anxiety. I think that part of the reason why I’ve been feeling more anxious lately is because I haven’t been moving as much as I normally would.

So I think I need to focus hard on that in…[Read more]

Thank you so much for sharing.

I don’t think intuitive eating has to be at odds with logging/tracking.

It does take some mindset shifting though.

I eat pretty intuitively. By that I mean, I eat when I am hungry. And I eat as much as it takes for me to not be hungry anymore. Some days I get hungry a lot. Some days I don’t get hungry at all. I just sort of go with what my body…[Read more]

Just want to offer encouragement to you Nik-yay for seeking out more support for yourself!! Meds can be short-term and based on circumstances.

Im struggling with competing ideas about logging/counting all my food and investigating more about Intuitive Eating. I feel like I need a new way to get connected to my body so I’ll take care of it better.

Ok so here’s how things shook out:

1. I called my general breast surgeon and my reconstructive surgeon. General surgeon, I have an appointment with him on the 27th. Reconstructive…sigh…that’s another post but long story short, I have a feeling I’m about to have to jump through more hoops.
2. I did get some of the laundry folded so…yay!
3. I…

Today I took a “me” day. My grandson was off school today but he went to his other grandparents house. I went to the chiropractor this morning and then went and got my hair cut and colored. The rest of the day did some laundry, some food prep for the rest of the week and cooked dinner.

Breakfast –  a couple of slices of turkey breast

Lunch -…[Read more]

You’re doing such a great job with purging/organizing!!!

Today it is raining cats, dogs and chickens here in Baltimore (yes, chickens too lol). I think this may be the remnants of Nate but I could be wrong. Whatever it is, it’s fast moving. The clouds are just whizzing by and they bring rain on top of rain on top of rain.

At work today, I…[Read more]

Robin you were the lone Foodie yesterday! I’m sorry about that.

I needed a day off of being me. So I took one.

Today has been better, probably because I stayed in bed until I actually slept. Sleep deprivation (especially long-term) does whacky things to your body and your SOUL. But I’m better now.

Today I went and got my veggie haul from Gather…[Read more]

That is so inspirational. It’s very easy to wallow in grief and self pity.  Good for her.  And thanks for sharing her story!
