I am happy - I had to fast again for my rescheduled bloodwork. Today I packed cereal to eat when I got into my office - no drive throughs! And, even though it was a stressful day (all of them seem to be lately :?:), I ate the lunch I packed. Good choices all around.

I am supposed to be at a meeting at church. However, I had a headache roll in that just won't quit, so they will have to do without me.

Hello everyone :wave: Quiet right now. Hope everyone is out enjoying summer sun, fresh produce, or whatever trips your trigger (air conditioning and recreational reading here :D).

Have a good one.

Hello :wave: Just logging in quick, so I meet that challenge for the day. Hopefully hitting the lake tonight, so . ..

Staying on plan so far today. Crazy day, so I have to admit that the food porn is calling. So far, so good. Met my exercise plan and abs/stretching for the day, so as long as I avoid bad beverages, I am all good.

Have a good one everyone.

Almost didn't meet my posting goal - ended up having to tack on a 7 hour coverage shift after my office day. But here I am. Enjoyed the time with the clients, and glad family could take care of my hounds.

Thanks Red. I got to buy myself flowers today, because I lost more than my 2 pound target. Woo hoo. Here's to 18 more days on target.

I have to laugh. When I first heard I had to work last night, I thougt it would be until midnight. My first thought was - crap, now I will have to take a pause on following exercise plan AND posting daily, because I won't get home in time!!

Have a good day all :wave:

Didn't make the best eating choices today. Was busy trying to keep from having to go back into work, so didn't plan things out well, then let emotions get the best of me. But, did get all my workouts in, and tomorrow is another day.

Good night all :wave:

Hello everyone. Anyone. I hope you all are doing ok. I am not - work. Lots of bad work stuff. but, hope you all are ok.

Thanks REd. I am on my challenges, but that still leaves a world of choices to make, and I am not necessarily choosing healthy. Self medicating my stress again. Not good.

Here's to a happy birthday for you! Good luck picking new challenges. Glad you aren't craving the big three.

Have a good day all :wave:

Happy Birthday, Red! I'm sending LOTS of wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous year - with lots of fun and success at achieving your goals!!! :hug:

Decided a decent night sleep might fend off the cold I feel coming on. Stress, I know. So while I got my mornign workout in, I skipped yoga tonight. Will go on Saturday, and will get back on track tomorrow.

When is the birthday Red? Hey Michelle - good to see you. Everyone else? Come out, come out wherever you are :D

1/3 done with my challenges. Woo hoo. Hey anyone :wave: I got my lab results back. Despite my obesity and family history, I have dodged diabetes yet again. My cholesterol isn't even that far out of wack - need to get triglicerides down a titch and the good cholesterol up a titch. My sodium was even a tad low. My doctor said that was typical for a fasting blood sugar, but with the amount of salt I eat?? I would have a salt block on my desk if I could. :?: I do have some high markers for RA, so have to go in for that. Fascinating.

Good night all.
