Good morning. I’m hoping today will be less stress, but it’s already pretty messy. My poor new guy, and then the other boss who’s undermining my authority. I need to be assertive without being a witch. Not my strong suit.

My parents are evacuating from outside Charleston. It’s their first hurricane they can plan for, and my Mom is flipping out.…[Read more]

OK, so today was today. I got my migraine under control super fast (Woohoo Score one for the Daith Piercing) I got kids off to school ready for picture day with money and cold lunches in hand… other than I did have to run one kid out his lunch in my bare feet. I napped. then I went to work.

You all are gonna be SICK of hearing about Launch…[Read more]

yep. So these are new and a bit of an experiment. They had good flavor but we’re too fluffy so I’m going to try again with less baking powder

Savory Breakfast Cookies (low carb, 4 pts)

Sounds Good!

LOL. I’m glad you were riveted. I did my weekly update over there in that post. And I logged my food. I’m actually under for today. Amazing what breakneck busy does for me. I may have a protein ice cream bar for a snack. I think I’ve earned it.

I even thought about the assessment but I have to go find it – it’s over on my other laptop, which I…[Read more]

Ok – sweep response –

Escaped my comfort zone. Overall not a bad thing. I’m learning to live in the moment with the pain of why I cried last night about the party.

I shopped Monday for food.

I’m surviving the stress. Today was victory because we accomplished new tasks. We were successful, even if in small doses. There are still stressors, but…[Read more]

That?

Was the most RIVETING daily check-in I have read yet.

Kudos!

Seriously, though. You have a lot going on. One part I can personally relate to is not having much of a life. Folks think I do because I’m always on the internet. But that’s because…I’m always on the internet.

Granted, I do have to work a lot to make ends meet. (One income…[Read more]

Nik, how did we sync our periods from several states away? I’m commenting in the daily check in. I have a lot to say, and I’m still figuring out where to say it. I should do my mid-week check in, and I hope to do it later. But I need to be accountable to more than just ONE person that SOMEONE TELL ME TO LOG MY DAMN FOOD.

I haven’t logged since…[Read more]

@susan so glad you’re having a better day. So glad you’re back checking in on the FNC!!! Wishing you luck on your health issues!!

Ooops! I forgot you @kspot42!!!! Sorry, but I also know Nik sent you one too!!! Hope your migraine is better!!

Slowly, very slowly! However I discovered all the boxes that I was dreading going through are full of my mom’s cookbooks. I’m going to hold off on going through them and let my kids go through and pick out what they want.

Meals have definitely been on the quick and easy side, but I have also managed to keep them healthy.

I’m getting in too many…[Read more]

1. I was going to say not well at all, but that’s not exactly true. So far, 5 of the boxes I’ve gotten to are packed with my Mom’s cookbooks. I’m going to let my kids go through them (all but my oldest who’s in Boston. I’ll go through them and pick out any vegetarian ones for her).  Afterwards, I’ll donate the rest to the local charity store. I…

Mid-week sweep!

Ok not to sound funny but since you and I both already know you are executing your plan, after you confirm that…

Please speak more on these savory breakfast cookies…

Mid-week sweep!

You’ve been quieter this week, which I assume means you are back in full grind mode. I’m rooting for you from over here? Can you see me with my cheerleader outfit on? (No…don’t be scared…it’s ok…)

Anyway…how are things going so far? Are you finding you have enough time to get in your meals as you wanted to?  Have the…[Read more]

No mid-week sweep for you. Just hugs and waiting to hear that everything went as planned!

Take care of yourself. You are important to us!

Mid-week sweep!

• 5k training has been coming along. This week tried to throw me some loops. I (gasp!) did cross training at home. I don’t like it.
• Chicken salad did not happen #TheSad but magically lunch happened without any effort on my part so…that’s not nothing.
• I’ve been super tired this week, I think because school has started and I…

Judging by the number of exclamation points that have been in your check-ins this week (I use them too!!!) I think this has been a good week for you, yes?

Still…mid-week sweep! How’s it all going?
