Don't forget cat news and advice, and monthly laugh column about what klutzy move we busted out at the gym in front of 50 people.
I didn't mean to drop my upset-about-cholesterol post and disappear. I've been out in the field for the last three days straight, complete with a 14.5 hour day Wednesday when... well anyway, it was a very long day. I'm going to try to take a day off next week to make up for it, if I can manage. Luckily BF could hang out with Emma or I would have had to tell my boss I couldn't do it all! It's always busier for us in the summer but I swear this year it's worse - training two new staff, less personnel due to cuts, and more work to do. Yes Saef, no stress in my life! Most of my stress is work related, though even my theatre group has been very stressful the first half of this year!
My dad & his family have high cholesterol, so this certainly could be genetic. This doc was one I was going to for a diving physical for work. Three of us went and got a generic letter on top of our results that said "discuss any abnormalities with your primary physician" (which I don't have), and he wrote "ok" by any test results that were flagged, including my high cholesterol. At least all the individual #s are within range. My HDL (good) is high (90ish?) and my LDL (bad) is 93, triglycerides are smack in the middle. I really don't think I can change much about the types of foods I eat to be better, I just eat a little too much
I've lost 5 lbs since January and just need to continue on that track and see if losing weight helps. Slow but in the right direction. And maybe throw in some yoga for my stress?
BF has the weekend free, so we're going fishing! That will reduce our stress! I've got some friends visiting next weekend so I also need to clean my house top to bottom.
Michele, how was lunch? Sounds like a neat program for the kids.
My parents are both English teachers, my mom has also taught grammar. Don't get me started! I was always the person my friends asked to proof for them. I'm not as good as I once was, though (just like the song...).
In casual writing I use too many ellipses... and dashes - "the lazy man's comma" as one of my lit profs called them.
Jessica, enjoy the conference! Is it in a fun location?
Allison, the gala sounds great!
I'm off to wake BF up. The fish are getting away! What kind of fisherman is he? Have a great weekend all!
I've had crazy long days all week long with lots of driving and stress and crazy willy nilly, have eaten out every day this week and not made the best food choices, have only exercised three out of the last ten days (counting today, and one of the days was cutting the grass), haven't gotten in any yoga since Monday. So, like I said - just glad I finished! Next week has to be better.
Food is hit and miss since I'm basically limited to things being sold within a few blocks of the convention center. I have been walking a lot and on my feet a lot though, which, while good for burning calories, is not so good for my plantar fasciitis. My feet hurt, but they're holding up and don't seem to be getting any worse despite the extra work.
