Not really sure how to plan for this week since there are so many variables and too much uncertainty. The last couple of days have been rough. Yesterday we came home from our trip to North Carolina, soo a 3:30 a.m. wake up to get to the airport for a 7 a.m. flight, 2 1/2 hour ride after that to actually be home, pick up our 112 lb “baby” from my…[Read more]

Late getting this posted, but better late than never!

So this week is all about my daughter’s Sweet 16. Now that it’s coming up, oddly, I feel better about everything. With each thing I check off my list (which means with everything I purchase lol) I feel more prepared. I’ll probably freak out a few more times throughout this process, but for now…[Read more]

We’re heading home from Baytown this morning (in about an hour) so a good part of my day will be spent in the car.

Getting steps and liquids in probably will not happen. My eating, however, has been spot on! Out to eat twice at unfamiliar restaurants and I was able to stick completely to my food plan and still enjoy myself thoroughly. Even on the…[Read more]

It seems like my weeks are all the same lately. Working on cleaning out the house, getting my steps in and trying to get all my 80 ounces of liquids in. It seems like I don’t do anything else!

Hopefully I’ll get some meal prep done.

That’s pretty much it.

Good Morning! It’s a very rainy day here in Baytown. There’s nothing like being away from home to make you realize just how comfortable your own bed is!

I have no idea what today will bring. We were up late last night watching Houston get to the World Series! GO ASTROS!!!!

We’re just now about to eat breakfast (at almost lunchtime) and I have no…[Read more]

I’m up and going early today. We’re getting ready to head out to Baytown to visit my husband’s oldest sister and his older brother. It will be an emotional day for us as we’ll be visiting the cemetery where my husband’s parents are buried and by their house. We sold the house back at the first of the year and it’s been totally redone. I really…[Read more]

It’s kinda lonely in here. Robin! Where are you? 🙂

I’m late posting my check-in mostly because today has been a super challenging day. I got awakened by my boyfriend at 4 a.m. that he needed to go to the ER. He came in late last night (after I was asleep) and apparently started violently vomiting afterward. This went on for several hours before…[Read more]

Please tell me I will survive this Sweet 16!

It’s not that anybody is pressuring me. My daughter is being great about everything. I have help.

It’s. This. Damn. ANXIETY! It’s making me avoid things. I really don’t need to be avoiding the party stuff. I need to get stuff done. But I seem to get overwhelmed so easily. I wish I were coping better…[Read more]

Today has been a good day so far! Up early and got most of my steps in and have a great start on my liquids.

I’ve been to the flooring company and it looks like we’ll hopefully have a decision on our floors by the end of the weekend.

Breakfast was a Scotch egg

Lunch with most likely be a protein shake

Dinner will be roasted turkey and a…[Read more]

Today…I took the bus. For the first time in years!

My car is in the shop until THURSDAY. Yes, folks. That’s how much stuff was wrong with it. Sigh.

It’s going to cost a lot but guess what? That’s one less thing to worry about heading into winter so I will deal with it!

I actually didn’t mind taking the bus. I didn’t have to pay attention to…[Read more]
