@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!

I agree with @robin-miller!! Although I like to have control over any situation where planning and executing is involved (the old thought that I am the only one to do it right or the guilt of bothering people when they have their own busy life to take care of) I have had to let go of this thinking and let others help out. I still have those times,…[Read more]

Must be something in the air today @robin-miller I feel sort of like you do today.

Just got back from church which was amazing, as always. I’m a bit out of sorts on a few things emotionally but it’s nothing a good walk, some time with my journal, and support call won’t fix!

Today I’m going to be a home body. It’s cool out so I’m itching to…[Read more]

@robin-miller, I could only find these books on Amazon. Are either one the correct one? If not, would you let me know where you got yours. Thanks.

@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?

Well @robin-miller, we have similar temps today! I think the high is only supposed to be 68 or something like that. Very strange for August! Also strange is the fact that my tomato plants seem to have gotten a second wind in this crazy weather! It’s been rainy and cooler than normal all month and I have crazy tomatoes fruiting. I don’t think…[Read more]

I was thinking last night how I wish I had a magic wand to take some of this stress away from you! @robin-miller you are genuinely one of the kindest, most good natured people I know and it really bugs me that you are going through this. But you are strong (you know that already) and it seems like you are planning around the challenges. That’s…[Read more]

Hey there. This somehow got posted in the Daily Check-Ins forum instead of the challenge forum. Would you mind reposting in the challenge forum – just so that I don’t forget to count your entry? (Maria started a thread for today) Thanks!

Now I’m responding. 🙂

I’m so glad to see you posting, Mary! Believe me, you’ll find understanding ears here and since this is a totally closed community, you can post your thoughts freely as you work through them. We are here for you!

I heard several items that probably could use an accountability plan, so can you please tell me:

@robin-miller, I have had a similar discussion with my bariatric doc, and where we landed was that I actually do eat in the middle of the night. (I always wake up around 12:30 – I go to the bathroom and eat a protein bar that I have sitting by the bed).  This keeps me from waking up with low blood sugar.  For me, this works much better than e…[Read more]

@robin-miller I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your dedication to checking in each day!! I hope I will be able to be as dedicated in the near future. Keep up the great work!!

@robin-miller this is your mid(ish) week sweep!

(That just means I’m coming through to check on you.)

How’s your week going? How is hubby doing? How’d the MRI turn out? (Forgive me if you went over this already somewhere else on the site.)

Mmmmmm more great ideas @robin-miller!!  Thanks!!!

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Mmmmmm more great ideas @robin-miller!!  Thanks!!!</p>

Thanks @robin-miller!! They are great suggestions. I guess I need more breakfast ideas besides oatmeal and eggs/egg substitute. But I love new idea’s for dinners!!
