    Ah I didn't think about the running affecting the draw. It's a full panel to check everything lol

    Appts at 8 and approximately an hour drive after so itd be 9 am and well Monday's low is 88 and 110 for the high so by 9 am it will be maybe 95 or 100? Guess its a rest day!

    No run today, decided to watch a movie with the wife. Ready Player One actually. The book was better, as always, but I had high hopes for the movie. The book had a lot of material that needed cutting, so thought it would be ripe for a movie to really knock it out of the park.

    Ah well, once again #MovieLetMeDown #ReadingIsBetter

    I make it a point not to watch the movie until I have read the book. *shrugs* I just rather have the spoilers impact the movie and not the book, if there are any.

    I try to read the book first but it's not always easy to do. And I try to leave time between. Like I finished Silence of the Lambs recently (I KNOW but I had to read red dragon first) and recorded the movie. I waited 2 weeks before watching.

    I am disappointed in HBO's Sharp Objects. I really thought they'd do a better job and the boom was amazing.

    @AprilRN10, Happy Birthday. Mine is tomorrow, the 4th! :)@RunnerGrl1982 I think you are amazing for getting out early to run. I am NOT an early morning person, so just can't make myself get up early to go for a walk/run. I wish I could.

    I have trouble holding myself accountable, so I downloaded the c25k app. My goal this month is to participate in this app and related strength training apps daily. I hate focusing on weight because j always get discouraged at the plateau. I really just need to build a habit and learn how to adjust as necessary. I'm also a new vegetarian and have a lot to learn about how to get enough protein outside of dinner.

    Welcome aboard! I know a lot of people who have had great success with that app, and this board is a great place for great motivation as well.

    And welcome also to the veggie world! I suggest you do your research as far as what you truly need as far as your daily needs for macros. But there are a ton of protein sources: tofu, beans, lentils, tempeh, pretty much everything has some kind of protein in it. Good ole tofu scramble for breakfast, salad with steamed lentils for lunch, black beans over sweet potatoes for dinner....yum!
