I’m sorry you’re feeling so lousy!😢

Today, so far, has started well for me. We’ve had a cold front come through that dropped our temperature from 98 on Tuesday to 78 yesterday. We woke up to 53 degrees this morning!

I could really just cut and paste my days in here. Cleaning out the house, steps and liquids.

I am working on the self assessment…[Read more]

I got my 15 minutes of walking in…just in five minute spurts! (I purposely walked to places I would have driven to on the way home…cuz the rain threw me off, man!)

If others are into it and someone else besides Nikki coordinates it (because, much as I love you all, it’s Pledge planning time and I don’t have time to coordinate) go for it!

Try posting this in the FB group as well to get feedback. 🙂

Ok so I will recognize first and foremost that I am stepping out of bounds of what is my business here to ask but…

Why does your MIL have so much control over what happens in your house?

That. Right there. Is how you can tell you are not making excuses. You are adjusting your plan to fit your reality.

Now make it so! 😉

Thank you @kspot42 and @nikki-massie for your input. I will post the recipe in the recipe swap forum with the typed recipe and the changes I made as well as the book’s title and author.

It’s a rainy, chilly day (mid-60’s) here in Upstate New York. My plan this morning was to get everything cut up for dinner and hit Planet Fitness to do the treadmill (when I got there I was going to ask a staff member how to use it). Well, I ended up standing way too long on my feet cutting up the veggies and chicken and maybe because of the…[Read more]

Actually, that’s a great idea! As I forgot to get milk when I went grocery shopping yesterday, I’m going to pick up some baby carrots and the such when I go get milk. I’d love to eat fruit but find it’s best if I have it at the end of a meal to avoid that special drop in blood sugar.

I’m so stoked you posted early! And your day sounds way funner(er) than mine. 😉

Robin how do you do with fruits and veggies? Whenever I find I’m too snacky (for whatever reason), baby carrots and veggie crudites become my best friends. I know you are supposed to deal with the reason you want to eat and yadda…but sometimes quite frankly I have to engage in what I call “defensive eating,” or, eating very filling foods that…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’re taking a proactive stance on the “scale surprise.” It’s easy and understandable to get down about that sort of stuff. But I love that you are instead taking action!

So you’re going to a conference, eh? Question: How many conference meals do you think you’ll be having? (Conference meals = meals provided directly by the…[Read more]

Basically a repeat of yesterday. Walking, liquids, cleaning out the house.

Update on my husband’s job situation – on Monday, he sent an application to another company that’s within the same company (if that makes sense). Basically does the same thing at a different location, but makes money instead of losing it. Then, yesterday morning, they…[Read more]

True fact: recipes cannot be copyrighted. So it’s not illegal to share a recipe you got from a book with someone else. Good form would be to share the recipe along with book information (title, author, and probably a link to the book). The one caveat is that you should never post a photocopy of a recipe book. If you share a recipe, you’d need to…[Read more]

UPDATE, UPDATE!!

I just wanted to pass along that I did make the turkey and cannellini bean casserole tonight and I think I’m in LOVE!!! It reminded me of having a bowl of pasta with sausage, without the pasta!!! I’m not sure if I would be violating any copyright laws if I were to share the recipe with everyone (the recipe is from a book I…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!!!

It sure does and thank you @susan!!! Have missed you lately. Hope you’re feeling better!!!
