So this week my goal was to make a plan of attack for September … my most stressful and crazy month.  I was able to work on my lesson plans and worked on scheduling the things I know about now but unfortunately my work STILL has not provided all of the dates for faculty and dept meetings, so I will most likely have to rearrange things once…[Read more]

Today has been a very quiet day for me. My husband is working on his resume. I’m pretty much taking advantage of the quiet as my week will be a stressful one.

Breakfast was Greek yogurt and a power crunch protein bar.

Lunch was some turkey (I was going to have the rest of the kale salad but my husband beat me to it)

Dinner is still up in the…[Read more]

Unfortunately, no “aha” moments. Mainly trying to stop and see if I’m really hungry, thirsty or wanting to eat out of stress. I’m definitely still doing too much stress eating.

It’s just now hit me that today ends this challenge. I was sitting here trying to decide what my next pledge was going to be. 😕

It’s been a busy day for me, also. We’ve been looking at flooring for the house all day. I’m battling a vicious headache.

Breakfast was sausage and lentil soup and some Greek yogurt

Lunch was a Quest bar in the car

Dinner will be turkey breast and some kale salad

Snacks will probably be shakes or bars

Happy, happy birthday! 🎂🎈🎁

OMG 😳

Today has been so busy!

But I got my entire errands list done so I’m pretty proud of myself.

Food wise:

• Starbucks breakfast sandwich
• 1/2 soup and sandwich from Panera

At some point I’m going to make high protein veggie chili today. But for right now I’m gonna binge watch “The Great British Baking Show.”

Happy Birthday!!!

So today is my birthday. I  am 30 years old again (ok, you might want to add a few years, like maybe 25???, cause it may be a little impossible for a 30 year old to have a 31 year old son 😆). So far today not doing too bad food wise. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, lunch was salad with blackened grouper and a complimentary piece of key lime pie,…[Read more]

Ok, guess this is last day for check-in on the mini-pledge. This week I did not do that well at meeting my goals, but realize that I was the one responsible for my actions. No one or nothing is to blame but myself. Therefore I am taking ownership for not meeting my goals .

@sarahlareina where are youuuu? I miss seeing your lovely face!

I think you’re making great progress. I see a lot of thinking about your decisions and how they impact you, and making decisions accordingly. Yeah, a burger happens here and there (to me as well) but the big thing is recognizing it was a treat and not an everyday occurrence, and moving on from there.

Post-vacay is the pits! But look, I will make…[Read more]

I personally think you’ve been doing an awesome job. KUDOS! (And keep making weekly plans and daily check-ins…it isn’t always the most thrilling process…but it works! Plus it’s just always so great when you have a big accomplishment to report back on.)

I still don’t think it has hit me that she is gone-gone. Our basset hound seems very attune to it, though.

My youngest daughter is also adjusting. She says yesterday, “I need to get used to being the only child in the house.” They fought like the dickens when they were both here, but I think she misses her sister already.

Don’t get me wrong. I…[Read more]

I like your approach. Yesterday is gone and done with. Resolving to press reset and do better from this point onward is the best thing you could have done! Enjoy yourself, my friend.

Hey Nikki!! Yes, made it to Florida yesterday and so far we’re having a great time!! Had problems connecting to the Wi-Fi yesterday, but all is good today.

I have to confess, I haven’t been doing that great meeting my goals this week, but as I noted in the Daily Check-in I am doing much better today.

I wanted to blame not meeting my goals on…[Read more]

Yes, I made it to Florida yesterday, but had problems trying to hook-up to the Wi-Fi. Finally was able to accomplish today. Didn’t make very good choices yesterday food wise. Of course I’m blaming lack of sleep and jet lag as the culprits, but know I made the choices so there is nothing or no one to blame but myself.

Anyway, so far today I’ve…[Read more]

Yeah, I started typing out a check-in post and got pulled away (that seems to be my theme today).

So I’ve learned this week when they give you a promotion all that really means is they load you up with so much work you can’t see straight! Oy.

I’m enjoying it, though, and it’s challenging me to step up my time organization skills because I refuse…[Read more]
