Today is already an emotional day for me and I imagine it will continue to be so. It would have been my dad's 74th birthday. I will conquer this day in my normal manner - by being so ridiculously busy that I don't have much time to think. I'll be going out for my first run since my race in a few minutes, then I'm meeting up with my bereavement group mates for a "walking group" (our bereavement group has finished, but some people wanted to keep getting together and one woman promoted the idea of a walking group and I like to walk so hey), then I've got a bit of a break before heading back out for physical therapy and a voice lesson to work on a duet I'm performing at the May recital. Hopefully I won't spend too much time crying.

1: protein shake
2: fish!
3: salad at Panera between PT and voice

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: all the things - running, yoga stretching, walking group (in theory we're planning to walk for an hour at a sloooooow pace), physical therapy

How about you? Happy Spring!

Thinking of you today, and I hope it's not too hard!

I am home from GA and glad to be getting back into my routine. But I lost 5.4lbs while on vacation and that is a huge win for me (because previously I would NOT have lost on vacation). Today is a good day for me, a bit of a milestone. I am officially "overweight" and below the weight I was when I got pregnant with my first child (who will be 11 next month). In all of my previous weight loss attempts I was unable to break into the 180's for more than a day or two.

B: Ricotta Pancake, 1oz sausage patty & laughing cow cheese

L: 2oz chicken breast & cabot cheese square

D: Yet undetermined, but maybe eggs & bacon (french toast for the kiddos)

S: Premier Protein, I'm thinking I might try the shamrock shake recipe!

It was pretty for sure, but I think every day of heat takes it's toll! We found driving back into Orange County on the toll road was almost prettier! But so glad we did it... I got 9000 steps, which is a lot for me especially in the desert heat.

Hi everyone! Last weekend just marked the 10th anniversary of my Mom's passing, Gwen, so I totally understand the need to keep yourself busy and try not to get too overwhelmed with emotion. It gets a little less "sting-y" as time goes by, but some days can still feel like Day 1. Thinking of you...

B: Fage 0% greek yogurt, 1/2 c blueberries, 1/4 serving Syntrax Strawberry Kiwi protein

L: 2 oz taco meat, 1/3 c shredded cheddar, 1 T sour cream, 2 T. picante, 2 oz lettuce

D: 3 oz corned beef, 1/3 c baby carrots, 1/4 small wedge cabbage

S: 2 T. PB Fit and Celery stalk
