Daily Check In: Are You On Track Today?

I had a good day yesterday. I was able to do some shopping and found two summer T-Shirts and and some workout tops. This will be so good as my wardrobe was lacking in lighter summery tops. I didn't sleep will last night so I hope I will have a better sleep tonight. I don't feel tired, so that is good.
I love local honey!!! I think honey has a lot of health benefits being a natural sweet treat.

Yay for your shopping successes Shari. I truly appreciate nice clothing and finding some items to enhance my wardrobe, just like you did! I have always loved clothing (probably too much) and still do. I know I have too many clothes and really must do more seasonal cleans outs, but that doesn't stop me from buying a new item here and there (of course now all of my purchases are online).
I slept really late today and felt well rested but also felt like part of my day was missing. Our weather was very rainy and chilly which sort of encouraged extra sleep. I did well with food choices again as well as tracking everything. I cooked enough for tomorrow too so that increases my likelihood for an on-track Sunday too. John and I plan to watch Yankee baseball tomorrow afternoon, and then I hope to once again catch up on on reading.
A blessed Sunday to all!

Hello! I'm happy to read that you are both doing well! Interestingly, we've been enjoying local honey too. It is the one consistent thing that we've been purchasing at the local Farmer's Market.
It has been a week for me! Church went well and I was able to sneak a cough drop while the minister gave the sermon. On Monday I had dental work on the tooth that was bothering me and I'd taken antibiotics for it in preparation for a permanent fix. The appointment went well but I woke up Tuesday morning in extreme pain. They called in another antibiotic prescription, and I took lots of ibuprofen every 2-3 hours plus a gabapentin. On Thursday morning, the pain was subsiding but that side of my face was swollen so badly that I wore a mask to work. I called the dentist again and he was out of the office until Monday and could see me Tuesday. The swelling has gone down but not 100% and the pain is better but not 100%. I have a cleaning on 6/23 so plan to cancel the Tuesday appointment unless it gets worse.
The funeral on Tuesday was very sad but there were many many people who came to the calling hours to offer their support. We had no idea that he was so well known in the community.
My weight has continued to go up even when I expect it should go down- possibly due to the salt content of the soft foods that I've had to eat. I'm eating a bit more normally now so perhaps the weight will start to go down.
I hope you both have a blessed Sunday!

I am sure if we put all three of our wardrobes together we wouldn't have as many clothes as Tony has. He has so many items of the same things. I am not 100% sure, but I don't think he washes his clothes, he just buys new. I have been laundering things and organizing them so I hope that he will stop shopping now. I bought a laundry hamper so worn clothes can be dropped in there instead of on a chair.
So far I haven't had any seasonal allergies. I do think it's the honey, and if it happens to be a placebo effect, that is fine by me!
DW- I used to be a dental assistant and I feel awful for you that you you got worse, not better after the appt. I am guessing you had a root canal done. It might be worth going in on Tuesday so they can check on the infection. I wouldn't want you to loose the tooth after the investment that has been made in fixing it.
My weight has gone up too DW. I need to eat better! I have snuck in a few meals that were not diet friendly this week.

Shari, I literally laughed out loud reading your comment on Tony's clothes! I could just picture the situation. I haven't weighed myself in a long time because stepping on the scale and standing unassisted is so difficult for me. My legs and strength have slightly improved lately so maybe this will be the week I can stand on the scale and get an accurate weight. I snacked more than I should have today without tracking every bite, but I tried to keep my evening meal and points down a bit.
Tomorrow we take Buster to have his dental cleaning. Seems like dental work is touching all of us in one way or another. I have never had dental cleaning done on any of my other pets ever but am doing this for Buster based on the vet's recommendation. The cost is more expensive than for a human dental visit, I think partly because Buster has to go under anesthesia. He is 6 years old so I am hoping he will not need this done ever again. I will to drop him off at 9 am and will be called when it is time to pick him up, likely around 3 pm or so.

I have adjusted my meal plan slightly for this week to make sure I get enough protein throughout the day. I have added a banana smoothie to the morning. I really enjoy them too.
I trust Buster will do well at the appt. It must be so confusing to our pets to undergo these types of activities. No way to prepare them or determine how they tolerated the appt.
I hope you can get on the scale Paula. More for the non scale victory!

Buster did well with his dental cleaning. I was somewhat stressed when I expected an update call between 12 pm and 1 pm, and the call didn't come til 2 pm!! That one hour seemed like forever to me!. We brought him home around 4:30, still somewhat groggy from the anesthesia. He is slowly coming around to his old self but still is a bit groggy and out of sorts. I expect by tomorrow he'll be mostly back to himself. My food day was not as good as it could have been. I was snacking and didn't make the best choices. My points for today are high again so I have to be extra careful for the rest of the week. I like the idea of morning smoothies. I have them on occasion and really should have them more often too.
