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

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

It looks like a busy day today. Working about 4 hours and then cooking and tidying the house for a Labor Day family birthday cookout this afternoon.

Breakfast was yogurt and it looks like lunch is going to be cheese and grapes. Were doing steak in the grill for dinner with a brown rice casserole and watermelon.  That should met my goal of…[Read more]

Lol, I love it when you’re nosey!!!

Dinners – posted today’s dinner in daily check in (smoked beef ribs and marinated mushroom and tomato salad)

Turkey sausage and cannellini bean casserole

Ole chicken and bean stew

Whole roasted chicken with potatoes and brussel sprouts

Breakfasts – Savory Broccoli and Cheese Bread Pudding and scrambled…[Read more]

Ok, totally bummed since today didn’t start as planned. I was eager to get started with designing a workout plan today and had scheduled an appointment for 10:30 a.m. this morning at Planet Fitness. Got there and was told that the trainer was off today AND the person listed on the website didn’t work there. The staff person totally apologized and…[Read more]

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]

I did great this week.  I did an hour each day at the Y and got all my protein in.

Thank you.  That link is just what I was needing.

Well, yes, for the mini-pledge…but I hope that isn’t the end of you using the Weekly Plan forum!

I’ll be tallying up stuff on Tuesday. I THINK there were maybe 6 of you who did the mini-pledge all the way through (don’t quote me on that as I’m only going by memory) so I think the odds are ever in your favor! 😉

Best wishes for an uneventful procedure, Sue!

I found this article that has a good breakdown of carbs, and at the bottom is a big old list of complex carbohydrates for you to try: http://www.livestrong.com/article/27398-list-complex-carbohydrates-foods/

I hope that at least gives you a starting point. I’ll look forward to hearing how things are…[Read more]

That last paragraph…that’s the crux of everything. There is no such thing as a perfectly executed plan. Something always happens that we don’t anticipate. It’s how we respond to those situations that makes or breaks our end-goal.

I think you’ve got a pretty good attitude about it all.

Good luck with your first week of school!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Still cleaning out the house. More yard work today. Lots of listening to my husband talk about what’s going on at work.</p>
Breakfast never happened

Lunch – I made some chicken salad and had a protein pudding for dessert

Dinner will be my husband’s seafood gumbo. He has it simmering on the stove and the smell is…[Read more]

Happy Sunday, Maria!

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear about your triumphant return to Planet Fitness. 😉

Woot! I think with as many steps as you get each day, the 5k training will be a breeze. Just to let you know how I’m approaching it, I am just adding whatever they say to do for a day atop the walking I was already doing. I figure if I do that, then I am truly challenging myself. I hope that helps!

Good luck with everything. You’ve been handling…[Read more]

Your enthusiasm makes me smile 🙂

Look at you! So efficient!

Ok just because I’m nosey…what are the meals you’ve planned?

Pretty much a laid back day after watching our grandsons overnight. Boys are very active plus today is rainy with the high only getting to 58°!!! Hubby and I will step out later for dinner.

Meals are planned for the week and I will grocery shop tomorrow.

Also I have been working on my plan to train for the 5k, which I noted in my weekly plan.
