I heart long posts. Especially ones as good as yours! Love everything you said.

The last few days have been hectic, so every time I went to go online to do my updates something interrupted me.

Anyway, Saturday my husband and I went to the outlets and walked around for almost 2 hours. So, I did get some 5k training done by walking, not cross training. Yesterday did grocery shop in the morning and we had dinner at some friends…[Read more]

Yikes! Food poisoning is no fun at all. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.

And great news about your injury! Now you can ease back into it without pain. That’s great news indeed.

I was just thinking about 9/11 myself this morning.

Today’s a repeat of last week’s days. I’m still working on cleaning out the home office. I was obviously being extremely optimistic to think I was going to finish it in a week.

Walking, push-ups and planks are on the schedule.

Heading to my local library to renew my card. Being in the process…[Read more]

End of week report back:

• Monday. 5k training happened.
• Tuesday: 5k cross training did not happen!
• Wednesday: 5k walking happened but not all at once like I planned. Still, I walked.
• Thursday: Ugh. That was a trying day. BF live didn’t go well. So I’m glad that it was a rest day so I could just go home and go to bed.
• Friday: Cross…

Awesome! The plan isn’t required. But nobody in the FNC is officially doing the 5k until everyone who needs to do the training does it cuz #NoFoodieLeftBehind.

So if the training plan isn’t doing it for you, that’s fine! Just make sure you’re prepped in your own way and ready to go when it’s time.

Great report-back! Onward!

It’s a gorgeous day in central Texas, also! Sunny and actually not too hot!

Today’s been a lazy one. Church, lunch out and a nap!

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake (running late for church)

Lunch was a beef tostada without the crunchy tortilla (think mini taco salad)

Dinner will be leftovers

Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet

My nutritionist wants me to eat between 1300-1500 calories and have my carbs at around 100 grams. 50% of every meal is supposed to be protein. That’s all the guidance I have received. I have problems with getting above 1,000 calories most days which I know isn’t enough for how much I walk.

I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Nikki!

I’m having one of those mornings. In the wee hours, the lady that lives behind us let her dog(s) out. She turned on her backyard flood lights. Which woke up our dog who decided going out was a GREAT idea. Usually she wakes up my husband (he of the middle of the night Milkbones) but apparently this time it…[Read more]

The cramps finally hit and they were BAD. Had to take prescription pain meds to get a handle on it. Did not do my cross training but today is my long gym day so I will do it today.

Prayers for all in the potential hurricane area.

I’m thankful for  a hospital menu that has loads of healthy options.

I’ve had PT twice today. And the pain is manageable.

I am continuing to work in my self assessment.

Busy day. Started this morning cleaning out my pantry, which took me most of the morning. Then did some vacuuming of our hardwood floors. Tonight we took my mother-in-law to Lowe’s as she needed a new dishwasher. So walked around Lowe’s for at least 20 minutes. Then we went to dinner which I had baked haddock, a couple bites of mashed potatoes and…[Read more]

Same ol’ stuff.

Rumors are as flying all around my husband’s work. The one that’s really picking up steam is about the layoffs on the 19th. Targeting the longer term employees who still have the pension plan. Of which my husband is one. Cut the employees that will cost the company down the road (and happen to have the bigger paychecks) and then…[Read more]
