another week and what have we learned?

I did really well on 2 fronts - how cool is it that Deepak Chopra came out with a 3 week meditation challenge just when I needed a push - so I have been doing his meditation challenge twice daily for 5 days

Also walks - at lunch I now take off into new territories and for a longer time than before - the weather definately helps. Bonus - South Tampa is a really pretty place to walk and it helps me to get out of my office and off the butt.

Food - have done pretty darn good at healthy eating - beets are good food (or at least healthy food) - although last night likely the entire bag of tostito chips that I consumed may count as a setback (but they tasted really good and I could probably eat a whole box of kleenex coated with salt and some lime seasoning at this point) and I did have enough self control to not follow with the mint chocolate chip ice cream found residing in my freezer  - so I won't beat myself up over them - just another wild Friday nite :).

Ben went to Dr B's for acupuncture - he is looking a bit scraggly.  He went into a major shed (not unusual for corgis) but this time he lost his top coat which is the black colored hair and what is left is very little of the top coat and a lot of the undercoat (which is white) - it made him look older almost immediately.  Dr B did bloodwork and it looks ok  - so maybe we will go to CVS and look at Grecian Formula.

Work is work - have been able to stay focused and get a lot done, so athough I feel I'm working in a vacuum, I feel confident that my ability to think creatively and problem solve have not been affected by all the various things my body was subjected to - very good feeling.
