Thanks Nikki!! It’s just that sometimes life throws us a curve ball no matter how well planned/organized your day is scheduled. I’m just trying to prepare myself in case this happens. I do have quite a few scheduled dr appointments this week therefore I want my daily plan/schedule to play through without any hiccups, but also need to face reality…[Read more]

This should be a quick report for today.  I’m a little short on my protein goal. I have 85 grams instead of 90. That is an improvement on last  week however.

I have started doing some research on writing a resume after you have been out of the job market for many years. I think doing the research will give me some confidence.

Were you around last year when I did the study of the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat book? (I think you were.)

If you were, you’ll know why it makes me HAPPY that you have the workbook and are doing this. That book single-handedly changed my life! My outlook on how I eat is so much more realistic now than it was before and I owe that to Dr. May! 🙂

Very nice plan!

I’m very encouraged by your recovery from your surgery. I hope PT isn’t too taxing.

Also, good idea to work on your resume during this time. You’ll definitely be ready when the time comes to start searching.

I’ll be back by on Thursday for the mid-week sweep!

You know what I love about this plan? You defined what you think definitely might happen vs. stuff that is dependent on situations outside your control. THAT is success, lady!

Sorry you have such long days. I hope that next week’s plan involves something relaxing (a mani/pedi maybe?) as a way to reward yourself for getting through all…[Read more]

Your meals sound yummy!

My only comment on your plan is that #’s 1 and 3 seem a bit at odds with each other. You’re saying you will follow the plan…but then you’re saying you won’t go nuts if you don’t follow your plan.

So long as that doesn’t result in stress for you, I’m ok with that. But I want to make sure Maria is being kind to Maria.…[Read more]

I’m telling ya…the actual physical planner has changed the game for me!

Don’t even ask me why but it has. Plus it’s a coloring book planner. I am itching to get some colored pencils to get started on that. I feel like it’ll help me relax more.

Woot! Thanks for starting the thread!

Today has started off rough for me. I forgot my work laptop at home and had to wait a LONG time for IT to get me set up with a loaner (not their fault), during which time a backlog of requests seemed to pile up. (Who knew the social media manager would become so popular???) I am almost caught up.

Eats so far…[Read more]

I’m still working on cleaning out the house. Getting my steps done, push-ups and planks. I have 20 of my 80 ounces of liquids in.. I opted for tea instead of coffee this morning and fixed myself a giant mug to drink.

Breakfast was a homemade breakfast taco with egg and turkey sausage crumbles.

I have some ground chicken thawing that will become…[Read more]

Grocery shopped this morning (meals listed in weekly plan). Did some meal prepping and worked a detailed schedule for this week.

Dinner today were hamburgers and buffalo chickpea salad.

I actually got to sleep in the morning, however, since I was up until the wee hours of the morning, that’s not really saying a whole lot!

Still shredding papers (how can we have this much?), giving my husband a haircut, taking a set of bed room furniture that my husband has been repairing over to my son’s. (it’s the furniture that my husband and…[Read more]

Thanks @baylorbev for starting the thread!

Yesterday was a mixed bag for me. I didn’t get my walking in (doing it today) and generally loafed but I’m pretty sure that’s what I needed to do.
