Finishing at 86 ounces for the day. I will be having my snack much closer to bedtime tonight to see if this stops me from waking up in the middle of the night with a growling pouch. I’ll keep y’all posted on how it goes tonight.

I’m sorry you’re hurting. I hope tomorrow will be better!

I can relate! I could tell you what I’ve done in the past to shake myself out of that feeling, but that might scare the holy crap out of you. 😉

Admitting I have not yet read the article. But I will say I’d have a hard time not using Splenda. I don’t use it much in my day-to-day life but I have tried liking every single natural sweetener there is and I don’t like them!

You can report the next day. It’s fine, really! 🙂

I don’t have measurements, I do it to taste but it’s Heinz reduced sugar ketchup, lemon juice and Reese prepared horseradish all mixed together. I learned to make this for my dad by the time I was around 10 years old. That was A LONG time ago! I quit making it after he died almost 27 years ago but started up again using the reduced sugar ketchup…[Read more]

I love road trips. As long as I am not the one driving. 😉

Enjoy your ride with hubby today!

Yes, I know this pain. Hugs!

But you are so STRONG!

What’s your cocktail sauce recipe?

I mean it coulda been a fluke. But I didn’t go as much as I had been!

I’m glad you are recognizing what you need to do for yourself! No challenge is worth going through tummy drama!

So when you report back from now on, why don’t you just point out that that particular habit doesn’t work for you so you can still be accountable (and also that lets others know to be on the lookout for if it doesn’t work for them too.)

That’s a great start! Now go fill up your bottle again. 🙂

(Btw, I’m only at 20 so you have me beat. Heading to the water cooler right now…)

Just over halfway – 18 miles so far.  Strength training: 1 down, 1 to go.  And we started some new stuff, so I’m sore!

(hmmmph – I still don’t believe your doctor!)

I’m running behind on my water today, but I’ll catch up. My food free hour before bed isn’t working out so well. The last two nights I’ve woken up with a severely growling pouch in the middle of the night. Last night I ended up having to get up and eat a snack. Not good as my ability to make wise choices  goes out the window and I tend to grab…[Read more]

I did make my list! And today’s thing was to relax. It’s not going too well so far. But, I’m working on it! Actually , the best part of today will be the drive to and from Temple. Nothing to do but chat with my husband. Sometimes, I think that’s why we always drive somewhere on vacations. Just so we have time to talk with no interruptions!

Starting my day off with the lovely job of paying bills. YUCK!!

Getting these mailed and then off to get some shopping done for my grandson’s birthday party on Sunday. My husband has another appointment down in Temple today so that will take up a good part of the afternoon and evening.

Breakfast was a Premier protein shake mixed with coffee and…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep! How’s it going? Did you make your list? Have you been working from it?

Btw, I love listening to praise music when I walk around the lake. I know the other walkers think I’m crazy the way I smile like a goof but it makes me feel happy and at peace!
