Although I've happily grown out of much of my healthy eating rebellion, I still enjoy NOT having veg on my S Days. Haha

Oolala, I am so glad you went to see your niece and got to experience seeing those lists! I really don't have words; I'm amazed and grateful for this small gift for you in this difficult time.

And Yay for your coworkers that thought to get you flowers! Yes!

Thanks Cedar and Linda! Linda, your question prompted me to reflect a bit on where I am at and how weight loss affects/doesn't affect mental health. I DO feel better about myself. I feel more confident and prettier. I feel LOTS healthier and proud of myself for feeding my body with good nutrients - ...

And - yes, I definitely know better when I'm full when I'm not eating sugar. Glad you had a better day.

Yeah, great to hear about your standing desk. I still don't have one but think the time is approaching.

Good for you to go see your parents. I was thinking I should do that for Thanksgiving. I hope you find something yummy on the road.

The first thing I would say is that you are experiencing a big schedule change, and that takes a long time (dare I say at least a couple months) to adjust to. Second, I just want to encourage you that your family (and your husband, and your mil) will be fine. They'll adjust too! Third, start spendin...

I'm very glad you are taking the time off work. I hope your niece is able to accept your help. Since you are not broken up you can be a very good source of strength for your sister and your niece.
Take care.

My "default" lunches have made me feel a bit thrifty too. It was great to work through all the frozen stuff for smoothies (kids' breakfasts) and my lunches (nuts, frozen berries).

Always good to catch it early. I was realizing that when I eat the same things everyday (which I don't exactly, but theoretically speaking, haha), then I can easily adjust up or down on amounts if weight goes up or hunger goes up too much. If only we were machines with straight up formulas (just kid...

I definitely keep my exercise commitments for weekdays and don't require anything of myself on S Days. Sometimes I am very active anyway on the weekends, but try not to feel guilty on my super slothful weekends. :-) I usually figure I truly needed the rest.
