First of all, if you have posted a message on my blog - THANK-YOU so much! I haven’t had a chance to visit everyone’s blog who has commented on mine, but I will, and I so appreciate the suggestions, kind words and encouragement.

I am exhausted today. I have an online class for which I have to do a 2-day Face-To-Face meeting this weekend. I had to travel to a university 1 hr 1/2 away, spend 9 hours, then drive back. Lucky me, I get to have a repeat tomorrow. I did pretty well, food-wise, until I got home and decided I had “earned” a treat - 2 mini Chocolate chip cookies for which I dipped into flex. I can feel myself getting lax with my menus and not planning enough.

I need to get more serious about my workouts, too. I did some arm stuff with 5lb weights and my crunches, but nothing aerobic. My work schedule has been flexible this summer, not having to be anywhere until after 9am most days, which has made getting my activity in much easier. However, this week I had to be somewhere at 8am every day which meant that I missed my workout time and then didn’t make it up later in the day. When school starts up in the fall, I know I have at least 2 mornings when I have to work by 7:30am so I need to figure out a routine that will work with my schedule.

I still haven’t figured out how to get a table for my menus with the new blog. I copy and pasted code with the old one, but I’ve since lost it and my copy/paste efforts haven’t been successful. Here’s what i ate today:

8 / Subway sandwich + cheese & mayo
1.5 / 1/2 banana, few grapes & strawberries
