Good luck to those starting the 5DPT today. Love the positive self talk that Gaby was putting out there - YOU CAN DO THIS!! Tess - Sorry about the Migraines - they suck. My oldest had hossible migraines when he was younger --- no meds would touch them. He would have to finally get to the point that he'd throw up and then they went away. He struggled for years but seems to have outgrown them during his late teens.

We've got rain coming in later today bringing us a cool front. It has been HOT here. I'm looking forward to the cooler fall temps. Time to get my walk on. I posted seperately about my iron levels. YEAH ME!!!! I've gone from an 11 to a 200. No wonder I feel better.

Today's eats are looking like:

Commute:  Coffee

Breakfast:  1/2 bagel with Cream cheese from Panera Bread

Lunch:  1/2 Chicken Salad from Panera Bread

snack:  coffee

Dinner:  Steak fajita

If anyone is looking for a GREAT coffee - Trader Joe's has a Pumpkin Spice coffee. I've found that I really, really like the taste of it with some splenda in it (no creamer). It's fabulous.   

Yall have a great day.

Thanks Iris.  My head feels much better this afternoon.  Good job on the iron!  Awesome report!
