Something that makes me happy: getting to deliver a live calf.

The day ended with a calving. The lady called me about 3 times before I got there. I got there about 20minutes after they called. They’re difficult clients anyways. I was trying to joke around and let them know I wasn’t worried. Got the calf out in about 20 minutes. The lady finally lightened up after the calf was out, but she’s just one that has an attitude no matter what.

I decided on my way home that I wanted to Mexican for dinner, so that’s what I did. That’s why the calories are so high. I didn’t eat it all and didn’t even eat any of the chips. I decided to treat myself and I felt ok with that decision. I counted the calories as best as I could. That’s the biggest thing. Then I got on my bike and got an hour ride in.

Something that makes me happy: when the work day is over and I’m not on call

So my PT said I could try running again. So I did my first mile. It felt good to run again finally. I was so worried I was gonna feel so horribly out of shape and it felt good. Violet really enjoyed the run.

Something that makes me happy: doing the hard things today by running to and from the pool

Felt so good to run to the pool, swim and have a great swim and then run home. Felt really good to do a hard thing.

Trainer ride last night 30min

Everything I ate today except some tortillas to go with my cauliflower taco bowl. Also not pictured is my gallon water jug.

So there is a 75medium challenge.

This is 30min exercise a day (2 in the week need to be outdoors)

Progress picture everyday

Take any vitamins everyday

Read 10 pages of anything a day

1 gallon of water a day (or amount of your choosing)

A diet to follow (I am just doing calorie counting with my ultimate goal to stay under 2000 a day)

Write down something that makes you happy during the day

So today was day 1 and I did all those things. You don’t have to start over if you miss something but I’m not sure what I’ll do.

Here’s to putting me and my health first.

Something that makes me happy: Tom is home from his 2 week trip!

Had a good on call weekend with not a single phone call, which is weird. I’m definitely not complaining cause I got a bunch of stuff done. Overall a good weekend.

Monday run 🏃🏼‍♀️

Felt decent. I actually set out to only do about and back but felt good enough I decided to just do the 3 mile loop.

Had more ice cream and sushi for dinner with the family.

3 mile run in my old town. Same old route that I did a lot, but a lot further than I used to go.

This is the first run I’ve done in over a month where I wasn’t in lower back pain. It felt so good to not be in pain.

Had a bell pepper sandwich for lunch with some popped chips. It’s was pretty darn good. Then finished my lunch with some ice cream from our favorite ice cream place.

And as always when I come to New England I have to try the special polar seltzer water. This one is strawberry margarita.

Something that makes me happy: getting a on my to do list done

Overall a good day. It’s still really hot here during the day. But overall a nice day to get things done and be lazy.

Today marked 2 weeks to making new habits. It’s starting to feel good to be in charge of things again and taking control of my food and just making good habits stick.
