FOCUS is ExerciseSlow start, but it is a start. I accomplished ONE very important thing regarding challenge...I went for my first run since having a baby. I ran 2 min/walk 4 min x 4 sets plus a 5 min warm up and cool down walk. I did not think it was going to happen because my husband came home sick and went to bed. My little one is teething and I still had to take care of my 6 yo. Well, after I got the baby fed, Jaina in bed, I went f...

So last week was a little rough, but I started. Plus, even though two days went to the wayside nutritionally, it was the best week as a whole in a loooooong time. I also finished my Bachelor's degree with an A AND I am getting my house back in order. It feels good! This week my focus is on checking in!MealsM1 - Multigrain hot cereal with strawberries, agave nectar and clivered almonds.M2 - Yogurt with fruit and grape nut sprinkl...

Ok - So yesterday was great and today was ok. I didn't get any sleep last night which I know did not help any. My daughter was coughing all night, my husband was having troubles sleeping, and then when I couldn't sleep through it all, my high levels of enxiety kicked in. Grrrr! So I finally got up at 4 (yeah, I know some of you actually plan to get up this early, but not I!!lol!!) Made some chamomile tea, and finally went to sle...
Back on track...Feels good.I had a great day today. I got up earlier than I have, took a nice long shower, did some gentle exercises for stability, ate great meals, did school with my daughter, helped my mother-in-law, when Jaina was feeling ill in the afternoon I was able to focus on her and have some snuggle-read stories time, completed two hours of studying, and did my first meditation on the Depak 21 Day Meditation!! WOO HOO!Meals:M1 - ...
Alright gang!Two weeks in and I have not done really anything. That's ok though. Getting sick on top of bed rest will do that to a person. Had lots of thinking time, and lots of prioritizing time. So now what?Get going again. I actually feel great. Not officially off bed rest, but hemmorrhage in uterus gone, so I am beginning to be more active slowly and listening to my body. It tells me when I need to re...
So it is Day 5. Day 3 and 4 were a complete wash. I didn't eat good, I didn't feel good, and I am really struggling with this partial bed rest thing. I think I am border line depressed again, but every time I mention it to the docs, they sort of just ignore me. It is weird. Have I mentioned that I am incredibly stressed. I feel like I am in medical hell, and I am very worried about giving birth here where I live.&nbs...
I GET TO enjoy the company of a family friend for dinner! He made our whole family dinner, and invited us over!So today did not go great again. I guess I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around doing this Transformation in my current state. However, I will just keep posting, keep working at it, and keep connected. I know I can do this, and I know my body needs this.M1 - 2 Free Range Organic Eggs, 2 small slice of toast, 1/...
I did not post this on Monday because our family was taking a "SCREEN" break from computers, smart phones, and TV. It was wildly successful. My daughter and I spent the day enjoying books together, my husband and played a board game together in the evening, and I started knitting again. We are definitly repeating this practice!!So here is my report in for Monday ~ Did not have the greatest food day as we have not gone ...
I am happy to report that i have been eating well all week. The only extra I had was a 3/4C of Egg Nog. I do feel good about the eggnog because it was a nice treat, I took the time to enjoy every sip, and it was organic quality product. The best part, I did not overindulge. I had my serving size, enjoyed it, and moved on. Interestingly I have lost 6 pounds just since Sunday. I know must of it was the initial weight o...
WOW! I have never in my whole life had to many Birthday wishes. I had phone calls, texts and messages from people all over the world. I am so thankful and so blessed, because I know the relationships I have now are because of the Trasnformation work I did last year! Thank you Bill and thank you Transformation!That being said, I am still super busy trying to get our home set up before my hubby gets here this weekend. I have...
As I talk to myself -"OK Kateri. The goal wasn't to eat good. The goal was to post it no matter what. So just do that. It doesn't matter what you ate...not yet. Next week we will add a step. Baby steps...Baby steps. Just get connected again. That will help you remember why you are here and what you need to be doing! Go!"So here I am!M1- 2 Eggs, 2 pieces Whole Wheat toast Lite, coffee with ff milk and equalM2 - co...

One habit at a time.M1 - Banana nut bread, toast with all-natural paenut butterM2 - Smoothie - high protein, low fat, low sugerM3 - Steak house - Ordered a grilled steak salad, dressing on side using fork dipped in dressing instead of pouring on salad, ate 1 biscuit, drank water....

So, it is a little weird that my Day 1 is a Thursday. I guess I really couldn't wait to take my baby step of posting daily. This is it. For those of you who didn't read my last blog, this is me taking a tiny step back into the t.com community. I have been away too long, I miss my friends, I miss the opportunity to learn, to share, to inspire, to be inspired, to be in community. I am back. Committing to somethin...
So, a not so great day, but better than yesterday. After my little pity party yesterday, I decided I was just going to let go of today. Just a little mental break. So, in all its not so greatness, here is my day:M1 - Oatmeal with blueberries and a protein shake with PB2.M2 - RL shakeM3 - Dry roasted peanuts from $dollar store and Coke ZeroM4 - Steak fajitas (frozen meal - not great but better than the pizza my daughter wanted us...
I don't want to share today. It was not a good day for me regarding actions to meet my goals. I made poor food decisions, I got sad, and I feel pretty crappy about myself right now. I have hesitated and probably censored my feelings in the past here in T.com because I don't want to sound whiny...even in admitting my slip ups, I think I have tempered my gut retching misery to keep it out of view. Who wants to see that?? Wel...
