@jugar jealous of your location for the eclipse!! My coworkers and I stepped outside to see our partial piece here in Boston. It was still pretty cool, the shadows and light felt so weird for 3:30 in the afternoon.

I had a pretty productive Sunday, but not perfect eating. Today is going better. About to cook the parts of my dinner I didn't meal prep yesterday. Planning a lower body bodyweight only workout this evening. My calves are VERY tight from snowboarding but I will do some more foam rolling before the workout. I am challenging myself with my monthly habit tracker this month - among the daily habits, I added "lights out by 11pm" and "min. 2 servings of fruit/veg". May sound simple and I am sure some of you get like 12 servings of veg in each day but I have never been super consistent with my greens (and reds and oranges etc) so starting with a low number. I want to check off more things than I did last month!!

I just signed up for a 4 week workout program with one of my favorite trainers on instagram (same woman I did my 10 week fall challenge with for those who recall) - it's shorter than usual this season since she is gearing up to launch her own app. It starts 4/22 which is great timing for me. I have to make getting an appointment with an orthopedist a priority this month. I am starting to suspect my foot issue is not just tendonitis but something more nerve-related. TBD.

@girlhitchhiker Rest assured, my friend. I've had several breast cysts in my life (starting in high school), and having the specialist there with a possible ultrasound and assessment is so much better than you can imagine. Seriously! Having someone there who can answer your concerns and questions without having to wait several days or weeks, is such a relief. When I had an odd lump that they weren't sure about several years ago, they decided all was fine but they decided to put a marker at the spot in question. This makes it so it can be easily viewed every time I have a mammogram. They've come a long way since then (circa 2007) so, breathe deeply, and know that you're in good hands. Sleep well tonight.

@jugar that is awesome you got to see the eclipse, stars, and some planets! We had a partial eclipse here and I was able to view it from a co-workers glasses. Very cool!

@girlhitchhiker prayers for your mammogram tomorrow. Like @EvMakesChanges said, they have come a long way and can usually get results very quickly. In NC, you find out the same day if you need to have a biopsy or not and I would say most of the time you don't. Feel free to vent/post here if you need some support!

@ashleycarole86 great job on the peleton today! Hopefully Brad can get some answers soon about his knee.

I didn't have another perfect day today, but that only means to try again for tomorrow. I did get to the gym and did my body pump class. The next few days are going to rain, so that means I have to do my 5k training inside at the gym. I feel like running the indoor track is almost worse than running on the treadmill.

@Kali225 The work out sounds like a good plan for helping your legs loosen up. The veggie goal is on my list of habits to add also. I think I'm hit or miss on the one. I know you're a foodie, have you ever heard of Half Baked Harvest? She has some of the most amazing recipes and most of them have a creative use of veggies.

@jugar sounds like the eclipse was magical! It was cloudy here so I missed it. We had a really good one where I live in 2017. Hope you get some peace and quiet at home soon.

@girlhitchhiker I hope you get some answers soon. Waiting is the hardest part. I know several women who have been through breast cancer and it is amazing what resources are available to fight it. You are doing the right thing. Hang in there.

@ashleycarole86 Great job getting your peleton session in! Hope Brad gets some information on his knee soon.

@lauren_989 I love your attitude and great work getting to the gym!

Yesterday was terrible, so I got to work everything went fine then I left at 10.00 am for my 11am appt, it's only about 30 minutes away, anyway I took 695. I don't often take that road unless it's this time of day, like on a weekend, nope won't happen, it's too much like a race track. Anyway after 5 minutes of being on the beltway, I had a panic attack, I mean one like I've never had before, My legs and arms went all tingly, and it just terrifying, so I was able to safely get off 695 and pull into a parking lot to calm down, made it on to drs, and back then home later in the day fine, so that's good. But it left me with so much tension and a terrible headache, I was just miserable the rest of the day.

Talked to my dr about it, and we decided I should go back onto HRT, but a different kind this time. I am on an anxiety drug, but it's obviously not working because this is happening more often, so she believes it is my hormones being out of whack. I did fine on the hrt before, but I had a suspicion that it was inhibiting my weight loss, it has done that throughout my whole life, which is why I never liked being on it. So, I went off it, last fall and low and behold the weight has been coming off much easier since then. Anyway, apparently, it's the synthetic progesterone in birth control pills that alot of women have an issue with, so I am going to try an estrogen patch with a bioidentical progesterone, and it should have a much better affect, and not affect my weight.

Anyway, when I got home last night, I was just exhausted, so I did not get on the treadmill.

Here is to a better day, No need to go outside my 5 mile safety radius so it should be a good day !

I had a good a good day today! Eating was on point. I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and didn't get a chance to exercise.

@cleaneater80 my race is on May 4. It's called may the course be with you, so I expect I will see lots of great costumes!

@Gidgitgoescrzy I hope you get your anxiety and panic attacks controlled. Those are not fun!

I had a great day today! I didn't eat the oreo or reeses peanut butter cup ice cream cake at work today!! I went to body pump and am in my calories for today! 🤸🏼‍♀️

@girlhitchhiker that is great news!

The rest of this week is supposed to be rainy and windy. Not good for doing my C25k training outside...so I guess it's back to the indoor track at the gym.

@jugar and all, I'm going to sit on the sidelines this month. It doesn't mean I won't be working on myself but I just feel I can't, and haven't been, contributing here as I should. 177.1 last Thurs and 177.0 today. I haven't been logging food at all ...and that's the only thing that has results. Will try to get back in the swing of things for May.
