    Had a crazy week (again!) Computer crash was just the start of it. Next week is also looking screwy. Not much in the way of exercise the last few days.

    Food's been okay. Guy at work started a September Salad contest - salads only for lunch this month. Meat's allowed, so I'm in.

    Having sushi for dinner. :)

    Happy Weekend!

    Oh. My. Goodness. For all my being in shape, 2 full games of semi-contact flag football have wiped me out. I figured we'd be short-handed at the games, but, sheesh, no breaks for any the games. Gotta figure out how not to be too sore for softball tomorrow.:noway:

    But, yeah, had fun. Football is back!:happy:

    Food: under total, but I've been over too many days lately. I'll take it.
