Hey all,

Started my day watching the sunrise while I was on my beach walk, great way to start the day.

I have gotten to know quite a few folks who also do beach training for a variety of things over the last few months, it takes a while to earn their respect, but once you’ve got it they are really great about being encouraging.

There is one fellow who is out there 3-4 times a week training small groups of athletes 3-6 at a time. I just know him as coach Kenny and he has been really nice about noticing changes in me and giving a shout out whenever I go by. Sometimes, like with the other people we’ll stop and chat for a bit, it’s interesting to get to know folks over time that way.

Imagine my surprise today when I found out he is actually an Olympic gold medalist (triple jump) with a record that still stands after 16 years! He has a private training facility across the bay for pro football and basketball players.

I know it’s a bit of a derail, but it seems I’m in pretty good company out there.

Getting back on track, this Nordic walking I’m doing is really something else. I’ve added 600 cal per day to my eating plan and the weight keeps coming off at the same rate, so I guess I’m doing it right.

Everybody keep up the great work!

Looks like I made my goal for the 1st of Oct. after all. I was stuck for a couple of weeks. Hopped on the scales this moring and Viola'!

Good morning!

The in-laws were in town over the weekend, and I just couldn't manage them AND my 30-day challenge.

I'm bummed about that.

I did resume my cardio yesterday and am back at it. We're going on a working vacation next week, so I'll start up my challenge again when we return.

I've still managed 24 out of 27 days though, and that's not too shabby!

I'm anxious to see how all of this impacts all my bloodwork. Since I've been on T, my cholesterol has been on the high end of normal/low end of high; I have a good feeling it will be much better now!

My doc also ordered tests on all thyroid functions. Curious about that...

That's about it for now. Wishing everyone a wonderful day and continued successes...

Soooo... I had

for lunch... which I love!! However, I don't know how many points they are. Does anyone? I am sure I could find it on line, but I really like the wonderful resource we have here.

I did track all weekend. I lost one night. I drank a glass of wine, realized my date was not going to get any better...so just kept drinking. Three glasses and a cab later, I was home, tipsy, but hell the world was much brighter!!! I will take those 16 points (rounded up for honesty) and just work them off at the gym this week. I avoided all the high fat speed foods where I was storytelling this weekend. Was not all that hard, being a vegetarian comes in handy sometimes

.

Did Zumba last night, have interval training tonite so I will nice and tired when I go to bed.

Interesting the talk on sleep. I don't sleep much. Never have. However, I am also not unaware of the troubles that can cause in weight maintenance and sanity. I have tried. But with the onset of menopause I sleep even less. And what is worse, I cannot fall asleep. That was never my problem. I could always fall asleep when I wanted to and be just fine. Now I lay there and wonder when it will finally take me. I have tried melatonin, but I can't wake up on it.

Ahhhh well. I have written a book - again. So.... if anyone has ideas about

I would be happy to hear them.

I LOVE sushi, too! Like you, it's hard to find any way to figure out WW points, because all restaurants are different. Here is a website that might help give you a lil' help trying to figure it out (or at least give you a rough guesstimate) of some of the rolls you might like.
