This morning, I was thrilled to learn that my iron count was high enough so I could donate blood at my company's blood drive. Since I'm O negative (the universal donor), I like to donate as often as they'll let me...but often my iron is too low. So all the spinach I've been eating regularly seems to be helping! Yay!
Weight Watchers weigh in is at noon...hopefully it will go well but as I've been too busy to do a proper workout at the gym...I'm not sure. I can't go to the gym after work today...not supposed to exercise after you donate blood, so I'll meet with a website client instead. That being said, I should be able to do some basic crunches and planks.
1/2 hour of cardio - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 7 completed (briskly walking around my large office building)
Journal and stay within WW points - 3 pauses - Day 2 completed
Drink 64 ounces of water - 3 pauses - Day 2 completed
50 crunches - 3 pauses - Day 1 completed
2 minutes of planks - 3 pauses - Day 1 completed
5 servings of fruits and veg - 3 pauses - Day 2 completed

Shad - You're doing so great on the challenges!
Red - Congratulations on completing the alcohol challenge!
You rock!
That's awesome that you've gotten to the point where if you go out you don't necessarily need to drink!
As for fun silly times....I'm frequently sillier when I'm sober!
I know I have a sharper wit sober. Good for you on listening to your body. I have a tendency to push myself too hard with either leads to illness, injury, exhaustion or burnout. I'm trying to find a good healthy balance. Good idea about the datebook. I used to use a daytimer, but haven't in years. I add things to my Lotus Notes calendar at work and set reminders to trigger right before I go home. But having something in the car and at home would help. You are just a fast-paced chick aren't ya? You like quick weight loss. Of course, wouldn't we all?
And quick exercise. That's why I like strength training classes...the instructor helps you pace the reps so you get the maximum benefit. I've got to get my butt back to the gym for "proper" workouts. Ugh, I hate cleaning. It is a good workout, but I hate doing it.
Hopefully this weekend I'll get to the gym.
Here's to a successful OP day for all of us!!
Hugs,
