You are so committed, Robin!
Yesterday was a great day for me. I went to church and we had a beautiful Reformation Sunday service. Afterward my church did Oktoberfest and I had a brat (no bun), sauerkraut and a little potato salad. From there, I basically hung out at home until it was time to take my daughter back to campus. The weather was super…[Read more]

Today has been a somewhat lazy day for me. I slept in just a touch and my husband and I have just sat and talked. We get so caught up with life that we don’t do this nearly often enough. Now, I’m about to go give him a haircut and later he’s talking about going out to dinner. He says we (me) need to get out and into the sunshine. He’s probably…[Read more]

Getting the front bedrooms cleaned out so we can get a window replaced.
Getting my eating back on track
Steps and liquids
Trying to get to bed earlier. Not that I’m going to bed late now, but maybe earlier will help. Then again, it may just give me more time to toss and turn.

I have to admit, it’s starting to feel a little lonesome in the forum!
Today we’ve settled on all the flooring and almost the carpet (there’s one carpet color my husband wants me to see before we finalize that) and all the paint colors. WOOHOO!! Progress!
We are both feeling very tired these days. Today, I feel like I’m slogging through thick…[Read more]

This has been a very long week and while I’d like to say it’s over, the weekend looks to be just as long!
Finishing up picking out the new floors for most of the house. Now, a decision on carpet and we’ll finally be able to move forward on the rest. Paying bills and picking up something to cook in the oven. We’ve gone from a high of 84 yesterday…[Read more]

Yes, and no matter how much I tell myself to relax, or that it doesn’t matter, my body says otherwise. I totally get it. I hope you find relief soon.

Slow day for me today. Errands are run, laundry is in process and dinner is already fixed. (confession time… When I was at the grocery store I bought a Mexican grilled chicken meal. It always make my husband happy and I don’t have to cook!) Fluids are half done and so are my steps.
Breakfast was an Unjury shake
Lunch was a shrimp cocktail with…[Read more]

Ok so your post was spooky because it’s EXACTLY what I’m experiencing. Things that would not have stressed me out before do now. Things that would have only been slightly stressful before are off the charts. Most days I want to hide in bed but unfortunately my job isn’t having that.
It’s a hard thing to explain to people and even though you…[Read more]

Good Morning!
My dog got me up before the alarm went off and I felt like there was really no point in going back to bed. It’s paid off for my husband though. He’s got really nice lunches made for the rest of the week. And I have a sink full of pots, pans and cooking utensils to wash. But I have to admit, 5:30 AM is a very peaceful time to…[Read more]

I’ve tried different meds for depression/anxiety, with various results. From talking to other people, I’ve heard what works for one person doesn’t work for another. I tried Zoloft 3 years ago, and i gained about 25 lbs, so I went off it. Earlier this year, I tried Celexa and felt ok as far as depression/anxiety, but had bad headaches every d…[Read more]

I’m home again (YAY!) but am very tired and hurting from the bed we slept in for two nights and riding in the car for most of two days. I only got my liquids in on one of the three days (riding in the car and drinking lots of liquids don’t really mix well). So today I’m really concentrating on drinking lots and lots. I have my steps done (planning…[Read more]

Today is an anxious day. No idea why. Just is. I hate this feeling! I see my doctor on Friday. I have a therapist. Between the two of them I’ll see if they think I should be on anti-anxiety meds. Does anyone have any experience with those? @susan I’m not sure if you said you’d taken them before. I’m just wondering what they make you feel like. I…[Read more]

Today is my daughter’s 16th birthday!
As such I have abandoned most attempts at scheduled eating (I usually live and die by my eating schedule).
We are going to PF Chang’s tonight. I am not terribly hungry so I may just have the lettuce wraps. They are mega high in sodium though so..I dunno.
Other than that I had a breakfast sandwich for…[Read more]

Late getting this posted, but better late than never!
So this week is all about my daughter’s Sweet 16. Now that it’s coming up, oddly, I feel better about everything. With each thing I check off my list (which means with everything I purchase lol) I feel more prepared. I’ll probably freak out a few more times throughout this process, but for now…[Read more]

We’re heading home from Baytown this morning (in about an hour) so a good part of my day will be spent in the car.
Getting steps and liquids in probably will not happen. My eating, however, has been spot on! Out to eat twice at unfamiliar restaurants and I was able to stick completely to my food plan and still enjoy myself thoroughly. Even on the…[Read more]

It seems like my weeks are all the same lately. Working on cleaning out the house, getting my steps in and trying to get all my 80 ounces of liquids in. It seems like I don’t do anything else!
Hopefully I’ll get some meal prep done.
That’s pretty much it.

Good Morning! It’s a very rainy day here in Baytown. There’s nothing like being away from home to make you realize just how comfortable your own bed is!
I have no idea what today will bring. We were up late last night watching Houston get to the World Series! GO ASTROS!!!!
We’re just now about to eat breakfast (at almost lunchtime) and I have no…[Read more]

I’m up and going early today. We’re getting ready to head out to Baytown to visit my husband’s oldest sister and his older brother. It will be an emotional day for us as we’ll be visiting the cemetery where my husband’s parents are buried and by their house. We sold the house back at the first of the year and it’s been totally redone. I really…[Read more]
