    Splurged a little today went to panda express and had orange chicken ànd fried rice thought I was doing good until I documented the fried rice and saw how much sodium was in it ugh!!:( start back to work tomorrow after my surgery so got me some fruit and green tea to take with as I usually don't have time for lunch as I am usually putting out some little drama (middle schoolers). My three goals for tomorrow are:
    1. Keep up with my documenting of my food exercise and bp.
    2. Take time to go out and walk the track at least 2 times that will be half a mile.
    3. Talk to principal about starting a health/weight group at our school. (Talked today to several friends today at church about starting a group there - all seemed very receptive to the idea).

    Starting a health/weight group at school or church sounds like such a great idea!

    I pretty much broke all of the Just for todays, yesterday. But moving forward and not looking back. "Failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts." -unknown. Just for today I will bring my lunch to work, log in all that I eat, walk on my treadmill for 30 or more mins, treat myself to a long evening shower and early bedtime.
