Happy weekend!!!
Thanks for helping me celebrate my blogiversary in true fashion! Of course, the doughnut pans were a huge hit! 😀 Sorry there weren’t more to go around!
Congrats to Becky, Dana, Rebecca, JW, Heather H-F, Matt, Christine, Becca B, Erin, Samantha, Melanie, and Andrea!!
I have sent emails to all the winners. Thanks again for entering, everyone!
And for losers…well, ME! I am down 1.2 lbs this week! It has been a very slow upward climb, or the scale has remained unchanged for a few weeks now, so I’m glad to be back down, for a total of 12.2 lbs since January. I’m batting for the “Slow and Steady” team…and I like it that way!
It’s great to get through a week like last week which was filled with emotional highs and lows and still make it a healthy one. I didn’t mention anything before now, but one the patients I worked very closely with passed away at the clinic last Saturday and the wake was on Tuesday. It was tough, but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to meet the patient’s family and to say goodbye. And it was from the wake that I went to teach our new weight management class – sans any mascara left on my lower lashes. Oy! And while those were the highest of highs and lowest of lows for the week, there was so much more – like an anonymous donation coming into the clinic in my name!
So I am very much so looking forward to a better (and shorter!) week. I mean, school is out for summer!!!!! 😀 I think I was just as excited as my students! It’s not the teaching I dislike (I love it!), it’s the hours! Being away from home all day -and- night 2 days a week is really tough. Those days are so jam-packed that it makes the rest of the week busy + playing catch-up. But hey, I’ll worry about that in another 10 weeks 😉
Rest day today (and yesterday) in preparation for my duathlon tomorrow. I purchased my (oh so sexy) bike helmet yesterday. I will post tomorrow after my event, and when things get tough tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of Samantha running a marathon on her own. If that’s not inspiring, I don’t know what is!
Lily and I are off to the farmer’s market! 😀
Question: What was this week’s high and low for you?
Lots of love,
YAY! Thank you 🙂
So excited that I won!!!
What a week you had! Have a great relaxing weekend! Well, I’m not sure you can call a duathlon relaxing, but I’m sure it’ll take your mind of things…
And I totally know what you mean about the excitement about the end of the semester! I love teaching, but sometimes a break is really necessary. And teaching nights is tough!
Good luck tomorrow!!!!
Congrats on the weight loss, Nicole! You must be so happy to see your hard work pay off!
Yay!! So excited for you that the scale is moving downward!!! Have a great weekend Nicole.
The high for me was reconnecting with an old friend 🙂
The low was working waaaaay too much 🙁
Sounds like quite the week for you. I’m glad that you were able to have some good highs this week! 🙂
My high for the week would have to be tomorrow! I’m doing an urban scavenger hunt race tomorrow with a group of friends! My low would be having to work on a Saturday. But that’s okay cause I got off early. 🙂
WOW! a donation in YOUR name??? Nicole, that’s awesome!! Someone must really appreciate all you do (well, a lot of people do, I’m sure).
Sorry to hear about your patient who passed away. That must be tough. That’s the one good thing about community dietetics, I don’t have to deal with that (much) but that’s just another reason why I have a lot of respect for clinical dietitians.
Congrats on the weight loss. That’s great. Hopefully you’re still going to be able to enjoy a nice Thurman Burger! MAybe just half?? I’ve been overdoing it lately so I may just eat the giant burger, no bun…we’ll see. Either way, I’m PUMPED!
A huge congrats to the winners and to you for your loss! Great job, Nicole!!
Sounds like you had quite a week. I’m sorry to hear about your patient!
It sounds like your hard work is paying off – both with the weight loss and the donation in your name. Be proud of yourself.
Thanks for the prize! I am so excited!
