Checking In

I think I am feeling a little out of it at times.  I have been getting far too little sleep.  Too bad we're not doing the sleep challenge.  I've had a hectic week, and I haven't been on the blog for a while.  I agree with so many of your comments and appreciate how hard you all work to be healthy and accountable.  As for my health, I improve just a little bit every day.  I feel blessed that I have been able to continue exercising without aggravating the pain too much.  I have to admit that I took my sweets day on Wednesday because I had two meetings in the evening where I knew treats would be served.  But the junk I ate earlier in the day filled me up so much that I didn't even have an appetite for the desserts at my meetings.  Oh well.  Then yesterday, my dear neighbor Stacy brought over dinner for my family--chicken fajitas  with a bottle of orange soda pop.  My kids know I never drink soda, just from personal preference.  But I took a little swig after dinner to remember what I'm missing.  My five-year-old, in complete seriousness, asked, "Are you going to tell your team you had a sweet?  Because I know you're trying not to eat sweets and that pop has sugar in it."  I love having people look out for me to make healthy choices, even if it's my five-year-old!  Have a great weekend, everyone.
