Well, my eating settled down after lunch, today - thank heavens!

And, I wasn't able to do the back-to-back workouts because I was the last presenter in our customer visit, today, and the visit was already 45 minutes behind when I met with them, which made me 45 minutes late, so I missed the class - grrr.

==========
Uh oh, this is not turning out to be a very good food day, today. During the first half of the day, I have eaten my entire day's worth of calories. Okay... deep breath... I already have plans for tonight's workouts. I WILL stop the craziness right now, and work to keep my eating in check for the remainder of the day.

==========
My plan for tonight is rather aggressive for myself:
Spinning class followed by TEAM class. I want to really kick the weekend into high gear!!

Miss Chelsea is doing a bit better this morning. I gave her a little bit of wet food and her pain meds this morning before taking her over to her pet sitter. I don't want her to dislodge the blood clot that has formed where they removed the tooth, so we are being very cautious about how much we feed her.
And, on Saturday I take her back to the vet to get an antibiotics shot. At that time I want to talk with the vet about a couple of strategies to keep this from happening again. I have tried to "brush" her teeth in the past, to no avail. However, once her gum heals up, I will try again. In the mean time, there is also a method that has been used where you give them a round of antibiotics for one week out of every one to two months. This is supposed to kill any bacteria before it has a chance to spread.

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes.

Today will be elliptical or treadmill over lunch, and then swimming lessons tonight.

I woke up at my normal time, and was incredibly tired... so I e-mailed my boss and then headed to bed and slept until 10 - an incredibly late time. I am now up for a bit, and then may be crawling back to bed sooner rather than later. I don't know if I have caught the crud from the multitude of people in MN who seem to have it, or if my body is just telling me it needs a break. It has been forever since I have felt this tired. Sleepy, your are getting very, very sleepy.

My other challenge of the day is that my dog, Chelsea, (avatar) is scheduled to have her teeth cleaned tomorrow. The vet gave me oral antibiotics for her - two pills, twice a day, five days before, and five days after. Now, most dogs, if you wrap up the pills in something like cheese, or peanut butter, would inhale the treat. Not Chelsea. She can go for a full day without eating. So, she has had maybe five pills, total. So, I tried to pry her jaws open (notice the Pekingese do not have very long snouts...)... well, my normally very tranquil and charming dog did her darndest to bite me. She ended up with the pill stuck to her paw, which I had to then pry out of the fur... So, I called the vet to see if I can have them give her an antibiotics shot... I am waiting to hear back from them, and to see how that affects the timing of her teeth cleaning procedure... it's a darn good thing that I never reproduced.

While I was traveling my set of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells arrived... I took them for a test drive today - I am in LOVE with these puppies!!!

Well... it's been less than an hour since I completed my workout, and my goodness, I am going to be a bit sore tomorrow (good pain).
