cardio

gym at lunch (treadmill and weights)

either the gym or a run tonight when I get home from work.

Carbs in the morning are  EVIL! Donuts are especially hazzardous to my well being. That was yesterday today is a new deal. Enjoy the preparations for having your family all together.

It's a great day here in Northeastern NC. They're forecasting the first hurricane of the season for Friday. Yippee!! Nothing says "Happy First Anniversary" quite like a good storm.

This morning was PT on my knees and boy are they killing me right this minute. Had my labs drawn for my annual physical - it was a new (to me) lab tech. SHe asked me where was the best place to get blood from me. I told her since it was fasting bloodwork it would need to come out of my hand with a butterfly. She still tried poking me in the crook of my arm...I swear I think she tried about 37 times. I explained that when I fast ...I fast not even water since after midnight and that my veins would roll on her everytime. Finally she did it in the hand and PRESTO...hit it first time. Just like I knew she would. I hate needles and this is yet another reason why. Plus I hate being asked a question to have the answer ignored.

Eats for today:

Breakfast: 1/2 Panera Cinnamon bagel & small coffee (I earned it!!!!!)

Lunch: Frozen Entree

snack: Animal crackers & cheese

Dinner: Fish Tacos

Lots and lots of water and decaf tea since leaving the doctor's office this morning. PT was certainly a workout this morning. She put me through my paces and then added some new stuff. I was sweating before I could get out of there. Yikes.

Not sure how much I'll be on-line for the next few days....lots going on in our household (as always). Family & friends coming in for the holiday (praying that Arthur steers out to sea) and then a quick trip to the Mountains to see my boy and look at a piece of real estate that the family is interested in. No grass will have a chance to grow under my feet this weekend.

Yall remember to drink tha****er and take those vitamins.

- Iris

Have fun with the family.  Good tyo know you would be busy so we wont worry about you.  

Iris - you are a supper patient person - 37 times ???? I allow one person to poke me 2 times - the third time - they better call someone else.  (Except my acupuncture treatment) 

 

 

Judging by the size of the bruise in the crook of my arm this morning, it could have been more like 200 times (just a wee exaggeration). lol

 

B-Hamburger meat (thin) with cheese

L-protein bar

D-grilled chicken and vegetables.
