Oh, I would have killed for hair like that growing up...I used to get those spiral perms (unsuccessfully) to try to get hair like that.

Your hair is my goals.

Happy Friday menu folks! We made it to Friday...yeah!

It will be a full weekend for me. We are leaving in the morning to go to Longwood Gardens near Philly. It is a lovely place and this is a nice time of year with all the spring flowers. There will be hours of walking which is good exercise too. On Sunday we will drive to my Mom's and have a belated Easter lunch and birthday celebration. Not much rest this weekend unfortunately.

I made it through my stressful day at work yesterday and came home and went for a long walk. It was nice to get out in the warm sunshine and work off some of the nervous energy from the day! Today I'd like to go for a swim but we'll see whether I can get away from my computer long enough to get there.

I went for my 6-month followup Dexa scan and had several bits of good news and one bit that I will post about separately. My total body fat content went from 16.7 to 17.3. Not up alot but a bit better. I have been eating nuts regularly and more full fat cheese. Still lower than my doctor would like though. I have increased my lean muscle mass in my legs, so all the walking and swimming has worked there. My arms have the highest fat percentage so that is another reminder that I need to do more upper body work. Overall I am pleased with the results.

I have shared this picture before, but it is the only one that I currently have scanned. I think it's cute though!

Menu:

Breakfast: DD turkey sausage wake up wrap

Snack: Cappuccino protein shake, blueberries, cashews

Lunch: TJ's chicken sausage, baby carrots

Snack: 2 oz turkey breast, apple, almonds

Dinner: Not sure, I'd like a crab cake if we go out for dinner

Exercise: long walk or some lap swimming

Yay for Friday! I have a busy weekend ahead - my bariatric nurse 2 month follow up this afternoon, then fly up to Denver tonight; Im doing a photo shoot with a friend tomorrow morning for big project she's working on then meeting another friend for coffee and then fly home, and on Sunday I'm taking a photography course -- should be a very fun weekend!

Accountability: on track everywhere!

QOTD: My family & friends, travel, books, the morning before the rest of the world is up, my job.
