The unplug challenge shouldn’t be too difficult for me. I normally take some time, usually after breakfast, where I relax on the couch with my feet up and eyes closed (not sleeping), kinda like a meditation. I normally will stay there for 1/2 – 3/4 of an hour and then I feel refreshed. The time after that I usually get involved in something around…[Read more]

Woke up today feeling less sore (thank heavens). So my spirits today were much more upbeat. I told myself to try and keep this up for today so when doing PT exercises, etc. I made sure to do very slowly and if any hint of pain immediately stopped and rested a little before continuing on. This actually seemed to work today. I was however…[Read more]

Awwww……thanks Nikki!!!! I guess everyone needs a cheerleader from time to time. My doctors are very pleased with my progress. Sometimes I expect too much from myself and need to stop dead in my tracks and reevaluate. That’s human nature!!

Fell asleep before checking in last night, but I didn’t eat anything 1 hour before bed and got 66 oz. of water in.

Day started with nagging aches in my knee, thigh and lower back that never went away. So I have been miserable most of the day. So, I started out moving very slowly this morning. Pushed myself to get through my PT exercises today. It helped me get a little relief for very short times. Food, haven’t done any planning today and have been grabbing…[Read more]

I haven’t added weights yet. Today my knee, thigh and lower back had a nagging ache that never went away (thus making me miserable all day). So I didn’t think it wise to add weights yet. I may have to put off til next week, as long as I’m feeling better. I am getting my exercises done, keep increasing time on recumbent bike each day (by 1 minute).…[Read more]

I think I overdid PT exercises yesterday. A little sore and tired today. So far I have managed to do 4 loads of laundry, 15 minutes on recumbent bike, most of my PT exercises for my knee, plus I added a few for my back and of course lots of walking around the house. I will aim to do some more before bed. Had a Yoplait Greek 100 protein yogurt for…[Read more]

Had the best amount of water today since the challenge began. 60 oz. as of now and another 4 oz. when I take my bedtime meds (which will be now). Anymore water and I won’t be able to sleep since I’ll have to keep getting up to use the bathroom. Haven’t eaten anything since 8:30, so that challenge has been met. Goodnight everyone!

Maria A started the topic Marinades – Do you count fat grams? in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 5 months ago
Ok, I never really understood whether fat grams needed to be counted when marinating meats, poultry, etc. Reason being, you normally throw out the marinades (especially oil based) and the rest gets cooked off the meat, poultry, etc. What do some of you do?

Happy Birthday to your baby brother @nikki-massie!! Doing better on my water so far today (24 oz. so far) and it’s going to be a scorcher outside today, so I anticipate much more in the forecast (as long as I get out of my air conditioned house several times). Made my appointment for the chiropractor and got in at 10:15 this morning and scheduled…[Read more]

Probably got in only 30 oz. of water today. Exhausted from yesterday’s party, so today was a little off for me. I may have a little fruit in a couple of minutes and off to bed around 11:00 p.m.

Huge birthday party for my 2 year old grandson at my house yesterday so I never had a chance to check in. Not exactly sure how much water I got in, but between water and diet cranberry mango juice, I may have gotten in about 60 oz. I was so tired when I went to bed last night, that I think I may have grabbed 3-4 cheese doodles that were sitting in…[Read more]

Whew, after an extremely busy weekend as well as recuperating and keeping up with my PT exercises, I think this week I will definitely concentrate more on me! I will schedule an appointment with my chiropractor tomorrow because my back is in agony (yeah I know it should be my knee, but that actually is feeling pretty good). My back is most likely…[Read more]
