update

Hey blue team, congrats on being first again last week! Time is going by so quickly for me; I hardly feel like it's been five and half weeks since we started. I'm glad to have you as teammates - you've been so positive and encouraging. 

This week I've really been enjoying the bonus challenge. I've taken time to journal, read, take a nice bath, and laugh - all things I really need to feel well. I've also been hungrier than usual, so I've been eating more calories. And I've lost more weight. I'm always impressed with how my body knows what it needs and I how can find better health by listening to its cues. 

I'm officially back to my pre-mission weight. I don't know what I weighed at other points in my life, but I have my paperwork from my pre-mission physical. I was in great health at the time, so that has been a measure I've been able to use. I'm excited that I only have a little more to go to reach my goal.

I avoided the buffet of various forms of sugar available at work and at my internship. It helps when I realize that most of the treats are just different incarnations of high-fructose corn syrup, each with its own mix of chemicals and preservatives to make for a longer shelf life. If you make it sound like poison - and it often is poison - then it's not very tempting at all.

What successes have you had this week?
