Happy Halloween! It’s a cold, dreary day here in central Texas. We’re forecasted for rain this afternoon and a downpour tonight. My son and his family were supposed to go to “Boo at the Zoo” tonight but I figure they’ll be staying home. Either way, my husband and I are going to their house for a while this evening. I have to go visit the two baby…[Read more]

Not a lot happening today. I need to return some flooring samples back to the design center. I’m prepping lunches for my husband for the week. Things are starting to happen at his work. One on one interviews are starting. We hear that things are moving slowly and we probably won’t hear anything about what’s going on with a new position until…[Read more]

Today has been a somewhat lazy day for me. I slept in just a touch and my husband and I have just sat and talked. We get so caught up with life that we don’t do this nearly often enough. Now, I’m about to go give him a haircut and later he’s talking about going out to dinner. He says we (me) need to get out and into the sunshine. He’s probably…[Read more]

Getting the front bedrooms cleaned out so we can get a window replaced.

Getting my eating back on track

Steps and liquids

Trying to get to bed earlier. Not that I’m going to bed late now, but maybe earlier will help. Then again, it may just give me more time to toss and turn.

I have to admit, it’s starting to feel a little lonesome in the forum!

Today we’ve settled on all the flooring and almost the carpet (there’s one carpet color my husband wants me to see before we finalize that) and all the paint colors. WOOHOO!! Progress!

We are both feeling very tired these days. Today, I feel like I’m slogging through thick…[Read more]

This has been a very long week and while I’d like to say it’s over, the weekend looks to be just as long!

Finishing up picking out the new floors for most of the house. Now, a decision on carpet and we’ll finally be able to move forward on the rest. Paying bills and picking up something to cook in the oven. We’ve gone from a high of 84 yesterday…[Read more]

Slow day for me today. Errands are run, laundry is in process and dinner is already fixed. (confession time… When I was at the grocery store I bought a Mexican grilled chicken meal. It always make my husband happy and I don’t have to cook!) Fluids are half done and so are my steps.

Breakfast was an Unjury shake

Lunch was a shrimp cocktail with…[Read more]

Good Morning!

My dog got me up before the alarm went off and I felt like there was really no point in going back to bed. It’s paid off for my husband though. He’s got really nice lunches made for the rest of the week. And I have a sink full of pots, pans and cooking utensils to wash. But I have to admit, 5:30 AM is a very peaceful time to…[Read more]

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]

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]
