Woot! Sounds like a good plan.
Let us know when you figure out what your exercise will be and if you need help staying accountable. 🙂

Hi, Lissa and welcome to the family! This is a great place to be! I’m Robin and am 2.5 years post-op RNY and am also trying to lose that last 25 pounds!
40 is just a fond memory for me (I’m 61),but I do have a 36 year old daughter who is a social worker in Boston. I live in Hewitt, TX just a hair south of Waco where we’re already having temps in…

I feel pretty confident about how we are all going into these last few days of the challenge. You all have prepped well. You’ve identified times when it’s not possible to follow this week’s habit (which is an awesome thing), and you’ve made strategies on what you will do instead (which is double awesome).
YOU GOT THIS! I’m so stinking proud of…[Read more]

I feel good today! I think it’s the weather.
Today is a fairly normal Monday. I brought all my food for the day, per the challenge. I’m going to try to get out for a walk at lunchtime because the weather is just GORGEOUS! (Did I mention there’s beautiful weather? LOL)
Not to sound like a broken record but tonight I’m hosting a “Vitamin Show &…[Read more]

I can’t believe July is almost here! Yikes.
Here’s my plan for this week. I’m doing it a little more detailed this week just to make sure I have my bases covered.
Self-Care
For my sanity, I NEED to finish switching out my seasonal clothes. I’ve had time to do it, I just haven’t. That will get done over the course of the weeknights of this…[Read more]

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s necessity. I feed myself + four other grown people so food goes quickly! When cooking for myself I usually make two things. My kids are in charge of Taco Tuesday. And then we always have at least one “wing it” night (which this week will be when we make “zushi”).
I think it’s probably pretty…[Read more]

Just wanted to report in before I head to bed early. 80+ ounces in, unplugged most of the day, about to have my snack before bed.
Some of the meals I have planned for the week are :
Breakfast – shakes, cottage cheese with fruit or peanut butter in it, eggs (most likely omelets)
Lunch – leftover roast and veggies, sandwiches made with my grocery…[Read more]

One thing I’m finding is that the more I do healthy things, the more my body craves healthy things. Now if I go too long without drinking, I crave water. (And because I forced myself to drink plain water as opposed to Crystal Light, etc. now only plain water really quenches that craving.) The unplugging as well. I had a love, unplugged day…[Read more]

Clear!
As for the other challenges, I have 60/80 ounces of liquids in so far today. I’m still eating my snack at bedtime and am actually getting a bit of more sleep. After yesterday’s extremely STRESSFUL day with my dog, I’ve been unplugged most of the day just relaxing and reading.
For the next challenge, I have made 3 double batches of Unjury…[Read more]

I purposely did not start our last habit on Thursday, mostly because if you’re not used to prepping at home, a weekday is NOT an ideal time to start!
But this weekend should be about prep! A few notes:
Again, eat things prepped at home as much as is realistic/possible. There may be times it’s not realistic/possible. That’s ok!
Again, this…[Read more] -

Water – I don’t wanna talk about it (like 25 oz. oy…)
Unplugging – did that!
No eating before bedtime will happen.

I’ve hit my 80 ounces for today. I was unplugged a good part of the day as I was taking care of my dog who unexpectedly had to have some surgery on her ear today. Meals ended up not being what I had planned, but everything we did eat had been cooked at home.

No infection just extremely bad allergies. She’s in surgery now to drain the hematoma. The vet will give her an allergy shot that should relieve things for up to 2 months. She’s be able to come home in a couple of hours with antibiotics and pain meds. Plus a cone. THAT will be a new experience for all of us!

Can we say STRESS! My poor dog has a huge fluid filled pocket on her ear and I called the vet for an appointment. They said to bring her in asap and drop her off. Seems that the fluid pocket is a very large hematoma and is an indication of a bacterial ear infection. So, they doing slides for the microscope to find out how to treat her and may have…[Read more]

Fair enough! The recommendations for water are just that. Recommendations! But I think my personal goal in this challenge was not so much about the goal itself but to always be mindful of water intake. I certainly was not very mindful about it so I think doing this challenge just helps me remember water intake is a part of a healthy lifestyle and…[Read more]

86 ounces in, currently having my snack before bed and I was unplugged most of the day. I actually ran errands and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I had left my phone at home! All food was made, portioned and eaten at home.
