Good Morning! JB, I can't believe you had to deal with that. Crazy!

Have a great one!

I love working from home! I know different things work for different people but for me, this had made ALL the difference.

1. Set my alarm for the same time everyday and get up and shower (if not working out that day) or get dressed in workout clothes (if working out that day). If I loll around in pajamas for an hour or so, I feel less motivated.
2. Make my coffee and then switch right to having my 32 oz water in my office with me. Otherwise it's like 10 am and I haven't had a sip because I'm not in an office walking to someone's desk...I am just heads down at my home desk.
3. A GOOD CHAIR. I have the typical chair with black mesh type material that so many offices have. Don't sit in a kitchen chair - get a good desk chair that supports your back.

I am shocked at how productive I am working from home. Sure, my colleagues and I chat and IM and have calls but you don't have all the distractions of being in an office! And, you don't have to waste time on commuting. And you can do things like go to the grocery store at noon on Thursday which makes the weekend immeasurably more fun!

This was kind of a spur of the moment decision so I don't have a proper desk set up (I am used to standing since in the office we have sit/stand desks) and the room I using is a converted patio that doesn't have a vent so it's a little cold (space heater ordered at Walmart for pick up later today!). I am still getting up at my normal time and going to the gym but instead of lugging clothes and changing there I am going to do it at home. So, we will see how it goes.

I love working at home!

I hope that working from home works out well for you.

More than half of my employees are in another city/state so they don't even notice a difference.

Good morning everyone!

I am going to try to post quickly today as I already have a busy morning and need to get started on some urgent requests here in a minute...

QOTD: I can't think of anything crazy that has happened at work really...We've had some patients get belligerent in the waiting room several times, but they don't escalate past having to call the police to escort them out. there was a patient once at my old job who had a huge crush on the doctor, she stripped completely naked in the exam room, waiting for him to come in to do her physical. that was pretty funny.

B: coffee w/half vanilla PP, greek L&F yogurt, 1 Danjou Pear
L: leftover turkey taco salad w/light ranch dressing & Sprinkling of cheddar
S: 2.3oz turkey lunch meat (what was left in the package)
D: leftover turkey italian sausage/spaghetti squash bake --my menu is very turkey-centric today lol

I am officially 10 months post-op today, and 22Lbs from my goal! I was hoping to make it to goal by 1 year but my weight loss has slowed a bit this past month...I may take another 3-4 months to get there, but I will do it!

Wow! Naked patient must have been a surprise...hopefully the nurse walked in with the doctor, lol.

You're doing so beautifully, Amber!
