@sarahlareina where are youuuu? I miss seeing your lovely face!

I think you’re making great progress. I see a lot of thinking about your decisions and how they impact you, and making decisions accordingly. Yeah, a burger happens here and there (to me as well) but the big thing is recognizing it was a treat and not an everyday occurrence, and moving on from there.

Post-vacay is the pits! But look, I will make…[Read more]

I personally think you’ve been doing an awesome job. KUDOS! (And keep making weekly plans and daily check-ins…it isn’t always the most thrilling process…but it works! Plus it’s just always so great when you have a big accomplishment to report back on.)

I still don’t think it has hit me that she is gone-gone. Our basset hound seems very attune to it, though.

My youngest daughter is also adjusting. She says yesterday, “I need to get used to being the only child in the house.” They fought like the dickens when they were both here, but I think she misses her sister already.

Don’t get me wrong. I…[Read more]

I like your approach. Yesterday is gone and done with. Resolving to press reset and do better from this point onward is the best thing you could have done! Enjoy yourself, my friend.

Hey Nikki!! Yes, made it to Florida yesterday and so far we’re having a great time!! Had problems connecting to the Wi-Fi yesterday, but all is good today.

I have to confess, I haven’t been doing that great meeting my goals this week, but as I noted in the Daily Check-in I am doing much better today.

I wanted to blame not meeting my goals on…[Read more]

Yes, I made it to Florida yesterday, but had problems trying to hook-up to the Wi-Fi. Finally was able to accomplish today. Didn’t make very good choices yesterday food wise. Of course I’m blaming lack of sleep and jet lag as the culprits, but know I made the choices so there is nothing or no one to blame but myself.

Anyway, so far today I’ve…[Read more]

Yeah, I started typing out a check-in post and got pulled away (that seems to be my theme today).

So I’ve learned this week when they give you a promotion all that really means is they load you up with so much work you can’t see straight! Oy.

I’m enjoying it, though, and it’s challenging me to step up my time organization skills because I refuse…[Read more]

hitting the water. check.

walked from the airport to the car. sweaty check.

gym? unless I go this weekend, nope. Post-vacation is so unfair.

My GMI was ok, and then I went off the rails last night. I fixed it today. Fixed meaning I ate better and made better choices. I wasn’t logging before this exercise and didn’t realize how bad some of my…[Read more]

Today has been from Hades…

2 hour appoint with joint implant dr only to be told keep doing pt for the knee implant (45 mins sitting in lobby, um NO. My time is important also.  I usually would have left & rescheduled but hubby would have been furious), patella tendonitis (um haven’t I been mentioning to the dr for 2 years that my knee hurts).…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

Robin, I just hate that you are under this level of stress and uncertainty, but I applaud you for facing it head on. I think mindfulness is a great goal and I’m interested to hear how it’s going. I am getting some sense of it in your daily check-ins but do you have any “aha” moments you’d like to share?

Mid-week sweep! You have some ambitious goals here, but do-able.

From my understanding, the GMI is comprised of a lot of factors and not just your carb intake. It seems to reward you for having nutritionally balanced meals (so even if there are carbs in there, if it’s all starches and, say, no fruits or veggies over the course of a day you’ll get…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep! I like the fact that you aligned having to do lesson plans with scheduling out your healthy stuff. That’s working smarter, not harder!

How’s that coming along? Are you doing ok?

Hey Maria! Are you on vacay? If so, I hope you’re having an AWESOME time!

How are your goals going so far?

Mid-week sweep! How’s your goal going? Did you bring those healthy snacks into the job? Are you choosing them over the unhealthy ones?

Inquiring Nikkis need to know!

Mid-week sweep! (aka Nik checks up on you)

How’s it going? Have you been hitting your protein targets? Your exercise? Kudos for getting it done Sunday and Monday!

Mid-week sweep! How’s it going? Have you sorted the stressors in your life into those buckets? (I’m very impressed by this by the way…)

How’s that process going for you?

It’s supposed to rain here in central Texas but so far the sun’s still shining. I hope it will get here soon!

I also remember my children starting college. My oldest started Baylor the same week my husband started a new job. In Albuquerque. I was trying to get our house up for sale and get the two younger kids back to school. Not my favorite…[Read more]

First off, forgive any typos because I am doing this on voice text!

Regarding your question about cereal, am I remembering correctly that you did join good measures? If so, shoot an email to your dietitian through the platform. Tell her you are having a serial craving and you want to know what your best options are. She’ll probably respond with a…[Read more]
