Might as well post now.
I stopped on by my ex-workout partners house to bring him some gumbo and his wife said that he hasn't been to the gym since I quit going late. I have been working out with my friend that bought my mustang for the past couple weeks. We likes to go around 5ish so it works out great for me. I've been kicking his ass for 2 weeks, he's been telling me about how sore he's been. I've also been pushing it harder and have been feeling the soreness.

Mike: I'm used to you forgetting about me by now The Breast Cancer Donation, my triumphant return... it's all nothing to you!!! (I'm kidding, of course!). Sorry about your work computers - I understand ALL about that, we always get POS computers in Universities too. You'd think we'd have the latest and greatest, but it's always hand-me-downs. The one I'm typing at now is about 6 years old. The only fancy computers are the ones hooked up to the fancy microscopes.
Monday Report Card
1) Log calories every day. Everything. M: Yes, even the handful of M&Ms I had for dessert
2) Try to keep calorie average for the week between 1200 and 1500 (giving myself a little more wiggle room than usual here, because my illness is making my appetite unpredictable. Some days I'm ravenous, other days I only eat one meal.) M: 1,116. Was not a hungry day.
3) Keep track of daily expenditures M: no, but I will go backlog it right now!
4) In bed by 11:30 every night, no excuses M: No
5) Keep positive and level-headed for BF M: yes
6) 80 oz. or more of water daily M: No (64)
7) Weigh in daily; report here. M: 163.2
8) Name something wonderful that happens every day. M: I had a moment of panic when I thought I lost the instructor's materials for the class I'm teaching. But then I found them, and that was wonderful!

Meant to catch up earlier, but working on reports ever since I got home and now I'm totally dead dog tired. Will get with y'all tomorrow evening.
But have to set the record straight...Mike and Beth, sorry for false advertising. I pulled my form and I was at 18.8%, not 18. My bf scale was saying 18. But I'm sure I'm not there now, so got my work cut out for me. Back on the scale this weekend if I think I can face it!
1. Calorie limit 1300. 1207, 1327, 1203
2. Balance pie chart. Yes, Yes, Yes
3. 25g fiber. 31, 23.5 but was way over yesterday, so I'm counting it good, 27.5
4. 4-5 fruits and veggies. 4, 4, 5
5. 2 sports bottles of water. Yes, Yes, Close, really close
6. Exercise 6 times. One, Two
7. Take vitamins and supplements. Yes, Yes, Yes
8. Shoulder exercises every day. Yes, Yes, Nope
9. Sleep at least 7 hours. Yes, Mmm, no, No

A quick check in:
1. 2 pieces of fruit a day S=N(1), M=Y, T=Y, W=Y
2. 1 liter of just plain water S=Y M=Y, T=Y, W=Y
3. No white food S=N (baked potato) M=Y, T=Y, W=Y
4. 1 tempo run and 1 long run T=oops, not sure when I’ll get both in??
5. Measure blood pressure daily (it was waaaay high this afternoon) S=Y, M=Y (still not where it should be), T=Y, W=N
6. Carbs less than 40% S=Y, M=Y(just barely), T=Y (32%), W=N (42%)
7. Total calories less than 1600 S=N (last of the holiday splurge), M=N (150 over), T=Y, W=Y (1357)
Great day today even though it was chopped up.
