I'm getting used to the Fitbit app

Yes, I'm getting used to the updated FitBit app, lol. I'm just stubborn and hate change - haha.

For the first time I'm struggling with getting my water in. I think I've just been busy and it slips my mind. I need to make sure I take my water with me when I'm doing errands!

I've been under a lot of stress this week so the gym has not been in the stars for me. Why can't stress burn calories too? I'd be in great shape this week!!
Next week I'll get back on track.

I have started to fill the house with fruits, veggies, and salad. It helps when you can grab a bag of cut up red peppers to snack on instead of searching for something to eat. Even the teen is grabbing the fruits and veggies!! WINNING!!

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

Out of the Darkness Walk 2019 - American Foundation for Suicide Awareness

On Saturday, we walked in the Out of the Darkness walk in Pittsburgh. We had a team of 10 people, and we walked in memory of our close family friend, Ricky Banas. Ricky was always laughing and joking (even as inappropriate as some of his jokes were, LOL!) None of us saw this coming... He was one amazing guy. He was like an older brother to all of us kids on the street. And Saturday, two of those "kids", who are now grown with families, walked in memory of him. My son was lucky enough to get to know Ricky. He got to have him in his life for 14 years. We even met up with a few of Ricky's family and friends at the walk. And I'll be there every year. The walk was along the riverfront, so along with beautiful views, it was about a 5k. I wish I could say that I did the whole 5k, but I only did half. It was hot, and most of our group wanted to stop after the first half. Next year I will do the whole 5k. Bring it on 2020!! Our team, Team Ricky, rais...

I'm trying...but this week, I'm weak.

Last weekend we had my son's birthday party. I wasn't even going to buy chips, so I wouldn't have an opportunity to eat them. I made a veggie tray and dip, a veggie pizza, and spinach dip. So many veggies! My list said pretzels, and maybe chips. In my mind, that meant ONE bag of each. I even started a Walmart order (which I then cancelled due to my husband going to the store instead). I had ONE bag of generic pretzels on it (they were on sale). I did order a bag of Veggie Straws, and my husband wanted one from Sam's Club. So the Veggie Straws would be for the party, instead of chips. I was set! It was all going to help me not eat like I know that I shouldn't. (BTW, I love chips. If I had to pick chips or a donut, I'd pick chips everytime - which is why I don't keep them in my house) My husband comes home with: bag of pretzels, cheetos, bbq chips, chips, two bags of tortilla chips, Sam's Club Veggie Straws (like this bag could feed a football team), an...
