Missing in Action
Hey gang, Sorry to be missing in action for the past week. Lots of stuff going on. I still haven't replaced my smart phone but will finally do it this week. Jim managed to get my old phone sort of running--so hopefully I can get all my contacts and other stuff off the SIM card and loaded into a new phone. Last week I spent…

July 28, Day 4
Hoo-Rah! Happy Tuesday! I haven't gotten much accomplished yet today, but I'm about to make a LIST, and that, of course, will make all the difference. LOL! How are the rest of you doing? xxoo K.

July 27, Day 3
Hey gang, Wow... Two days of rest turned into four for me and a huge reminder that I need to stay vigilant to stay in the game. Partially when I started eating disorder treatment three years ago, and fully when I had the sleeve surgery in December, Jim lost his "eating buddy" and we lost a major source of our…

July 23, Day of REST
Hey gang, Enjoy your days of rest! I'm going to take some time today to come up with my seven day bootcamp plan. I have to admit that dating and counting the days of July have really "extended" summer for me. Here in Maine, summer is really short--July and the first half of August are about the only days we can count on…

July 21, Day 9
Here's the start for the next to last day of the challenge that really wasn't, LOL. My goals for this day: swim at least an hour, stay sugar free, work on Bigfoot at least an hour, and do one maintenance activity. What are you doing today to improve your health and well-being? K.

July 20, Day 8
Good morning, gang! I'm on a mission today, determined to finish STRONG. 3 days of this challenge left, and I'm going to make the most of them. Right after I sleep for another hour. hahaha. K.

7/18/15, Day 6
Halfway through the day and no thread... I'm slacking! I wound up rescheduling my PT appointment yesterday as I was in too much pain to get dressed and travel to the place. Aarrgghh! Today I've done Nothing! Yup, nothing!!! Nothing to eat except a yoghurt. After this post I believe I will rise and accomplish something.…

July 15, Day 3
Woohooo, Day 3! I'm not actually starting my day. Just rolling over, going back to sleep. Good luck with reaching your goals today! K.

July 17, Day 5
Here's the new thread start. How about a Friday topic? Write a quick post about your best "healthy me" moment this week. What did you experience that needs to be celebrated? What good choice did you make? I'm going to think on this too before I just babble out my first thought. Good luck on your day five/halfway goals!…

What??? Day 4????

July 14, Day 2
Yes, Nancy, you're so right! The ten day challenges fly by! Here we are on day two already. I did well yesterday on everything but exercise, crazily enough. Crazy because the weather was hot and sunny, and I was in a bathing suit all day, but I never landed in the water. Today (tomorrow) I'm going to bite the proverbial…

July 13, Day 1
Happy Birthday, Carly! And welcome to mini-challenge day 1. Here we go again! K.

7/12/15
Good morning/evening! It's still very early here and I'll probably go back to sleep, but the Cat Princess wanted to be snuggled and demanded I wake up to do it. Here's a conversation topic for today: How dull is your palate? How overwhelmed are your taste buds? I'm thinking about this because I was "diary surfing" (reading…

7/10/15
Hey gang, Enjoy your free days because the Queen of Treadmill will be cracking her whip before we know it! If anyone cares to join me, I'm on a 3-day detox from carbs this weekend. Lots of broccoli, salad, chicken, and fish. My sister goes back to Kentucky tomorrow, which breaks my heart to pieces. I hate having her so far…

July 4, Day 5
Happy Hump Day! Halfway through this 10-day challenge. I'm finding that my 3 goals aren't challenging me enough. I mean, it's good that I'm logging food and swimming every day, so yes, good habit building, but like Zac, I think I need a stronger incentive. I might try a dietbet next time. Or limit carb grams or calories,…
-
July 3, Day 4
Just about midnight here, so I thought I'd get us started on Day 4. I just did my "maintenance" activity--treated myself to a facial using my new face stuff from Dermalogica. Even after only a few days, I can see an improvement! I look so young now, I thought I was my own daughter for a minute. Nancy, you sound like a huge…
-
July 1, Day 2
I'll get us started here, although Nancy will be getting up any minute now. Hopefully she has some more Grimm to watch. Here's a question of the day: Have you ever been "in the zone" with your eating habits? I mean, a series of consecutive weeks when you ate well, didn't binge, didn't overeat, didn't obsess about food,…

6/27/15, Day 8
Good morning, lovelies! Happy Saturday... what are you doing today to forward your health goals? I plan to spend a few hours in the lake, make a big salad to munch on, and do some cleaning. Just as soon as I get out of this very comfy bed. Yesterday Skippy came back over in the afternoon with two of his friends who helped…

6/26/15, Day 7
Here you are, Ms. Grimm. Post away! What's the name of the second book you're reading, Nancy? Lise, I have all ingredients for fudgesicles to make tomorrow--will let you know how they come out. Zac, LOVED your goals list. I started working on mine too. Cari, good job getting your keto plan organized. I think lchfmp will…
-
6/25/15, Day 6
Since Nancy will be up any minute now on her Grimm treadmill, I'll get things rolling before I sleep (I'm on my smartphone under the blankets so I don't wake Jim). Nancy, what's the name of that book you're reading? I'd love to look it up. Also, did your toilet finally get fixed? If they were Bulgarian men, they would have…
-
6/24/15, Day 5
Good morning, and welcome to mini-challenge day 5! Halfway home! I am getting very good at logging my food--so easy with my smartphone app! Exercise has been a bit "creative" as our weather has not cooperated for swimming, but today is supposed to be warm and sunny, and I will be in that lake, probably with Skippy McGrape,…

New challenge, June 20-29
Hey gang, in the spirit of keeping the momentum going, I've posted an announcement for the next ten day challenge and will message all the group members. As I wrote in an earlier post, I'm setting some lofty goals: 1. follow a meal plan 2. log all food in MFP 3. exercise every day I believe if I do all this, I should have…

6.24.15
Good morning, lovelies! Sunlight is streaming through my house this morning and rumor is we will reach 80 degrees today. After 3 weeks of endless clouds, rain, and cold temps here in Maine, this is wonderful news. I'm in good spirits today and ready to take on a multitude of tasks, all while drinking many glasses of water…
