Healthy Living Challenge

Today started the beginning of an eight week healthy living challenge at work. The challenge is being run by one of my co-workers who is a personal trainer.  It is along the lines of a biggest loser challenge, but we had to make the change so that the focus was on healthy living instead of weight loss.

I started with a big bang by getting out of bed on the wrong side, started of fwith the wrong foot, ate some gf cookies and blew my diet out of the water.  I have settled back down and had a good dinner of bbq pork and spinach.

My focus is to start exercising in earnest and get back on my triangle of health, eating 3 meals of protein/vegetable carb/good fat and 3 snacks of nuts/seeds/good fruit carb and good fat. 

Good news:  At my Doctor's visit, there was no blood in my urine at all which has not happened for years and years.  I still need to see my nephrologist, but my kidneys appear to be doing better than they have for a long time.

Funny things from work: 

"Please call other responders as her son is on a month long square dancing vacation."

"What is Doug's relation to you?"   "Oh Honey, we don't have relations!  He is just my neighbor!"
