Thankfully it looks as if the bulk of overtime doesn’t start until next week so this week I can focus on prepping my home and fam and spending some extra time resting. We got the phone call last night that my Husbands bariatric Surgery has been approved. WOOHOO! hopefully, in the next couple of days, we will get a surgery date. I’m a little…[Read more]

Better than I really expected. Still stressed over my husband’s job situation but I think it will be at least next week before we hear about any more new developments.

I am having a little trouble adjusting to my new daily routine (picking up my grandson from Pre-K everyday at 1:00 p.m.). I seem be trying to get as much as possible done before I leave to get him unless I have a scheduled appointment in the morning (about 12:15 p.m.), and getting myself stressed and overwhelmed, especially making sure I have…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m a bit late posting today. I think that I’m just running behind on everything.</p>
Steps and liquids (I really need to work on my liquids), cleaning out the home office (sometimes I feel like I will never finish) and a couple of quick errands.

Breakfast was a power crunch protein bar

Lunch with be deli…[Read more]

Today I am trying to keep things a little open until I see what work is gonna be like.

Breakfast was Eggs and toast
Lunch protein drink
Dinner Twice baked potatoes and leftover Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto

I want to get to bed a little earlier than usual because tomorrow is my “Meeting day” I spend the entire day in meetings and I need to be…[Read more]

Stress is definitely starting to take a toll on my husband and I. He’s eating too much and everything I eat or drink makes me feel sick to my stomach. Where I used to get about five hours of sleep a night, in the last two weeks it’s dropped to three. If his work would just tell us what’s going on, I could handle whatever it is. It’s the not…[Read more]

The last few days have been hectic, so every time I went to go online to do my updates something interrupted me.

Anyway, Saturday my husband and I went to the outlets and walked around for almost 2 hours. So, I did get some 5k training done by walking, not cross training. Yesterday did grocery shop in the morning and we had dinner at some friends…[Read more]

I was just thinking about 9/11 myself this morning.

Today’s a repeat of last week’s days. I’m still working on cleaning out the home office. I was obviously being extremely optimistic to think I was going to finish it in a week.

Walking, push-ups and planks are on the schedule.

Heading to my local library to renew my card. Being in the process…[Read more]

It’s a gorgeous day in central Texas, also! Sunny and actually not too hot!

Today’s been a lazy one. Church, lunch out and a nap!

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake (running late for church)

Lunch was a beef tostada without the crunchy tortilla (think mini taco salad)

Dinner will be leftovers

Bedtime snack – I don’t know yet

My nutritionist wants me to eat between 1300-1500 calories and have my carbs at around 100 grams. 50% of every meal is supposed to be protein. That’s all the guidance I have received. I have problems with getting above 1,000 calories most days which I know isn’t enough for how much I walk.

I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Nikki!

I’m having one of those mornings. In the wee hours, the lady that lives behind us let her dog(s) out. She turned on her backyard flood lights. Which woke up our dog who decided going out was a GREAT idea. Usually she wakes up my husband (he of the middle of the night Milkbones) but apparently this time it…[Read more]

Busy day. Started this morning cleaning out my pantry, which took me most of the morning. Then did some vacuuming of our hardwood floors. Tonight we took my mother-in-law to Lowe’s as she needed a new dishwasher. So walked around Lowe’s for at least 20 minutes. Then we went to dinner which I had baked haddock, a couple bites of mashed potatoes and…[Read more]

Same ol’ stuff.

Rumors are as flying all around my husband’s work. The one that’s really picking up steam is about the layoffs on the 19th. Targeting the longer term employees who still have the pension plan. Of which my husband is one. Cut the employees that will cost the company down the road (and happen to have the bigger paychecks) and then…[Read more]

OK, so today was today. I got my migraine under control super fast (Woohoo Score one for the Daith Piercing) I got kids off to school ready for picture day with money and cold lunches in hand… other than I did have to run one kid out his lunch in my bare feet. I napped. then I went to work.

You all are gonna be SICK of hearing about Launch…[Read more]

@susan so glad you’re having a better day. So glad you’re back checking in on the FNC!!! Wishing you luck on your health issues!!
