Just read for an hour and will be heading to bed soon. It’s been a really long time since I’ve taken the time to read a book for pleasure. Thank you Nikki! I will need to start scheduling more time for me to do this on a regular basis.

Maria A replied to the topic QOTD: (7/19) How do you feel about yourself? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
I have to say, I am learning to be proud of myself, but this has taken years and years of psychotherapy and practice to do so. I am proud of myself for going through WLS and losing over 130 lbs. With the loss of weight I feel I have become more confident in myself and not as hesitant to speak up. I feel most times what I have to say is just as…[Read more]

Since I never left the house yesterday, I wasn’t able to complete this yesterday. However, I did complete today. After my allergy shots I usually stop in the little cafe downstairs from the office for a cup of coffee. I left $5 with the cashier to pay for the person after me. Unfortunately I should have told her that I wished to remain anonymous,…[Read more]

Was out the door early today to get a blood test done and get my allergy shots. I am very sore today because yesterday I had it in my head to accomplish a major cleaning project. I took down curtains in 2 rooms (they were absolutely disgusting dusty and dirty since they hadn’t been washed at all since moving into our house 10 years ago!!), washed…[Read more]

Well I guess this could be considered decluttering. I went to Wal-Mart today and bought some new throw pillows for the couch. When I got home, I thoroughly vacuumed (took cushions off too) our sectional couch, threw the old throw pillows out and put the new throw pillows on it. Between the grandsons and dogs (mine and my son’s) the couch and…[Read more]

I had the most restful sleep for the 1st time in a long time last night. I actually got 8 hours sleep!! So my energy and spirits are higher today. Plus, the sun was finally shining when I woke up!!! I had a chiropractor appointment this morning and did a few errands afterward. At one of my stops (which was the drugstore) I had the most pleasant…[Read more]

Meals are all planned for the week and did my grocery shopping this morning. I chose mostly bariatric friendly recipes this week.
Dinners – meatball parmesan burgers (no roll) and a salad, crab cake salad, chicken bbq sliders and tomato salad, bbq pineapple chicken foil pack.
Breakfast – I still have 2 days worth left of the low carb mushroom…[Read more]

I am really tired today. Hubby and I took a little drive yesterday and when we got home we stayed up way too late outside by our fire pit talking. It was definitely fun, but I’m getting too old to stay up all night!!
Anyway had a low carb mushroom and feta cheese casserole for breakfast. No energy right now to get my butt up off the couch to have…[Read more]

Day started out overcast and grey, but every once in a while the sun poked through (only for a few seconds at a time). So, I ran (well actually walked) out on my deck each time just to watch the clouds go by, but they weren’t moving much. Oh well!!

I didn’t actually go out to buy something today, but I do have an essential oil diffuser and am using it right now. The scent is called mental focus blend and has various mint oils in it. Very relaxing!!!

For some reason I am pretty sore all over. Forced myself to do some PT exercises, which seemed to help a little.
No concrete plans are set for today. I had a Yoplait Greek 100 protein yogurt for breakfast. Lunch and dinner I have no clue at this point. The sky is grey and overcast, so not much ambition today. I wish the sun would come out since…[Read more]

Maria A replied to the topic QOTD (7/13): What are you afraid of? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
I always had the fear of making phone calls. Go figure, I was a secretary for 20 years and that was a big part of the job. It would take a bit of time to psych myself up to actually make the calls. I am getting a little better, but still prefer to communicate via email, online forums, etc.

Made it a point to go out early this morning with flowers being the main goal. I did have other small errands to do too. Anyway, got my flowers 1st thing and they are sitting on my kitchen table since I walk by it maybe a zillion times a day. Here’s a pic, but the color of the flowers are way brighter in person, especially the orange ones.

Checking in is on my mental list every day, but somehow I have been getting way too distracted, plus my allergies have been really bothering me lately as well as the humidity. Needless to say, it also involves sinus pain and coughing. I feel like I have been dragging this past week, not really being able to focus. Anyway, great appointment with my…[Read more]
