I’m so glad that everything went well! I’ll be praying that your recovery continues to go well.

That’s beautiful!

I love that!

My foundational affirmation is one my mother gave to me and each of my children at birth:

“You are the descendant of kings and queens and noble tribesman. Only God is greater than you.”

She whispered that to each of us when we were born and I think about that every day as I go into the world. She taught me that kings and queens are…[Read more]

Done. The list of one simple thing to do each day has turned things around for me. Instead of feeling defeated, I’m encouraged and actually made a bit of progress on my short term goal after months of not.

Always Remember… You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined!

Sure!

Today, I actually got all the errands that I planned to do all week done! Started early and got home just after lunch. Now I’m waiting for my husband to get home so I can cut  his hair. That way I won’t be dreading it all weekend!

Shake for breakfast.

A mishmash for lunch. Nothing was really sitting so I ended up having a few bites of several…[Read more]

I’m done. Is it OK to post our affirmation here? I thought it was a good one.

Eh. I mean life sorta planned me today lol.

Breakfast was willy-nilly. Lunch was pre-determined (my office goes out for burgers every Friday) and I was supposed to go to sushi with the kid yesterday but ended up in the ER with the boyfriend so…yeah.

I think if you aren’t a planner, that’s fine. It may be that you just have to be educated about…[Read more]

Here’s the menu for our cooking demo! I’ll post a shopping list over the weekend if you want to cook-along (or just make sure you have the stuff on hand to make soon).

As a reminder, we are doing summer recipes! I especially want to focus on things you can make that are good for you AND that you can share with others at a summer BBQ, so I’ll be…[Read more]

I call that “feast and famine” and I deal with it exactly the way you described. In “feast” mode (more appetite) I try to up my veggie/fiber intake and I also switch to eating ALL my protein before I eat anything else. That helps, along with upping my water intake.

During “famine” mode (little to no appetite) I generally go with smaller portions…[Read more]

I just have one thing to say about mowing the yard….. I HATE FIRE ANTS!!!!!!!!!😡

That’s all.

I’m still proud of you for being accountable, though. (I know you’ll get ‘er done soon though!)

Sue, let us know how it goes!

I have a theory though. The chicken in frozen meals is marinated (pre-treated) to be more tender than chicken you cook yourself at home (if you think about it that makes sense since it can be in several different temperature ranges, all of which could affect the texture of the protein in the chicken).

Have you ever…[Read more]

Back yard is DONE!!!!

However, the back is the easy part! Having a Powerade 0 while watching the dog enjoy the short grass. Now it doesn’t tickle her tummy!

Next up, the joy of the front yard. I definitely haven’t been appreciative enough of the job my husband has been doing!
