Thanks for the Book info. I’m gonna check it out!

I love that so many are taking time on the self-evaluation. What kinds of things are you cooking at home? are you cooking for just you?

I’m so glad you double checked before starting the training!

Welp…I hereby nominate you as the CMO (chief motivating officer). Should you accept this duty, you’d be helping us all stay the course on this thing and acting ridiculously proud of every little thing that we do. (aka Channeling your “Inner Nik”)

Of course you are free to decline…[Read more]

I didn’t make it yesterday so today will be McD’s salad but I have the stuff to make it tonight. I think I’m gonna go with my Power Chicken Salad.

Woohoo for road trips! I Understand the work stress! do you have ideas for stress relief while at work? What kind of work do you do? are you at a desk all day? One big thing I have found that helps is on my breaks and my lunch I Walk AWAY! I go outside, I face the sun and I Breath. I have also found that hugging a tree helps. I know it sounds…[Read more]

Good Luck with everything @sueo. Sounds like you have a good solid plan!

@beffietheteach Good luck with Back to School! Forgive and Be Curious is the best way to attack screw-up! I saw something one day that said “Failure is proof of trying” I don’t like the word failure in there so I try to remember “Screw-ups are proof that I’m doing something” Please share your Crock Pot Recipe! My family is not big on chicken but I…[Read more]

@robin-miller I’m right there with you with the home office. Mine is terrifying some days. Good luck with your cleaning and organizing. Do you have a plan of attack or just gonna dive in head first?

What kind of Chicken Salad (I know you said yet to be determined but are you talking about chicken and greens or like Chicken Salad sandwich type stuff)? Figuring out how to make things that I will (a) want to eat more than once or twice. and (b) last longer than a day or two. I love your plan for the 5K. I’ve had a plan however that now much…[Read more]

Yay!

I see you there with the gluten-free toast. Good for you for kicking wheat out of your life again!

I’m glad you were able to do the bike, but take it at your own level, always. I’m glad we are doing this. I’m motivated!

I’m not doing a formal 5k. I’m just going to map out a route and walk it! The details about how to do the 5k are forthcoming but you don’t have to sign up for a formal 5k if you don’t want to. But if that’s fun for you, you definitely should!

I was thinking there’s a few of us close enough to meet up maybe? I dunno…whaddya think? 😉

I did!  Planning is done, just have to purchase some tickets this week

Did you get some vacay planning done this weekend? I think you must have as it’s not on your plan anymore!

I had a good day! I got my walking done. Everything I ate was sooo yummy too.

For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions.

For lunch I had a PB&J quesadilla on half a high fiber tortilla.

For snack I had a lunch meat roll up.

And for dinner I had Cajun sausage and peppers.

I also prepped some spicy breakfast burritos for…[Read more]

Yep! That definitely counts as your 5k walking! 🙂

Sorry they screwed up. Hopefully they’ll make it ridiculously easy for you to reschedule.

Happy Labor Day!

Today is laundry day for me. Plus “flip the mattress over” day since my husband is off and can help me out.

So, laundry and what I can get done in our home office to start cleaning it out.

Breakfast will be an omelet

Lunch the chicken salad I made yesterday

Dinner is still undecided

I’m adding extra time to my walking today…[Read more]
