I will be done with all of the books today! I’m doing a quick sweep through all of the boxes and pulling out the children’s books for my grandsons and another sweep of the house to make sure that no books are left behind. I will be so glad to have this done. My back has been aching enough to keep me awake at night. The books will be loaded into my…[Read more]

I agree with @robin-miller!! Although I like to have control over any situation where planning and executing is involved (the old thought that I am the only one to do it right or the guilt of bothering people when they have their own busy life to take care of) I have had to let go of this thinking and let others help out. I still have those times,…[Read more]

Actually my nutritionist appointment is tomorrow afternoon, but will keep you posted. I’ve been able to make some time for me, but not nearly enough. As far as my meals, well I planned BUT didn’t totally follow everything. It got warm this week and the warm oatmeal and soup didn’t seem quite as appetizing, unfortunately giving into not so good…[Read more]

Working on it. I got up early today and was showered and dressed before hubby was up. Left the house right after he did. Now I’m trying to finish up sorting all those books. And laundry. I wish the temperatures would at least get out of the mid to upper 90’s. The amount of laundry I’d have to do would drop significantly. Supposedly mid week next…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan!

Yup, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and ask for help. Not a thing wrong with that and something I should do more.

Still working on the house. Sometimes I think that I will be working on cleaning out the house forever!

Breakfast was a Quest bar

Lunch will be turkey and veggie tots

Dinner will be leftovers.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I woke up very tired this morning. I’m on day 4 of a major headache (we had to front come thru) that I just can’t seem to shake. However, I am getting some things done. I bought a 4 pound tub of peanut butter and on Monday and by mid afternoon (I’m taking a lunch break) the entire tub will have been made into protein…[Read more]

I woke up this morning, as my husband said, totally frazzled. I can’t seem to maintain a thought in my head. However, I did get my “monthly maintenance” things done. (ran dishwasher cleaner through the dishwasher, disposal cleaner through the disposal, washing machine cleaner thru the washer and cleaned the filters on the washer and dryer…[Read more]

Life seems to have gotten really hectic since I have a set afternoon schedule everyday. Yesterday was such a sad day between the Las Vegas incident and the death of a wonderful musician. Also, a personal situation has been laying heavy on me which only exacerbates my stress level. My mother-in-law has had an abdominal aneurysm for many years now…[Read more]

Ok, just went through the protein guide and here are a few of my suggested edits:

• Page 11 section “Complete vs. Incomplete Proteins” 1st sentence – delete space before the word “Remember”.
• Page 18 under “Advantages” 3rd bullet down after “hungry” word should be “OR” not “OF”
• Page 20 1st bullet a period is needed at the end of the sentence

As proofreading was a major part of my job, I may be able to help. Any edits I will post here (read messages above).

I’d be happy to proof read for ya!

Today is the beginning of a very long and hard two months. After a very long discussion last night, my husband and I came to the conclusion that there is no future (or security) at his work now. He’s applying for a transfer to the location 2+ hours away. Which means we’re moving. He would like us out of our house by Thanksgiving. So, lot’s to keep…[Read more]

This is so inspiring and beautiful!!! Thanks Nikki!!
