Yesterday was another very clean day - at the board meeting, everyone was eating chips and cookies - even my clean-eating boss - but I resisted, and it felt so good! In retrospect, my day was probably a bit high on calories but everything was clean so I'm just going to overlook it and move on.
So last night at 5 pm, I met with a therapist at the hospital to talk about starting some biofeedback and neurofeedback. As some of you may know, I have taken meds for anxiety and depression for several years. While they really do help, there are a couple of drawbacks... #1, they have killed my sex drive, which sucks because I want to get pregnant! And #2, I need to go off of my meds when I get pregnant. Neurofeedback, in layman's terms, is basically re-training your brain waves to work more efficiently. I have done it before (once) and a few little electrodes are hooked up to your scalp and you do some things on a computer relating to your brain waves. I know it sounds totally bizarre but it really is not and it has an incredibly high success rate. I have committed to working with this therapist weekly for about 15 weeks and then we will re-evaluate. I am excited and I feel really hopeful...
I have so much work in my 'pending' drawer at my office that I could barely get it shut yesterday
I have lots of paperwork time today, but I'm not sure if it's enough....

Nina, bummer on the job... But November will be here before you know it!
Angie, LOL at a dinner of yucky cold cookies!
Colleen, how is the running going?
Anne, how great that you might get to hook up soon with some old friends!
Klaudia, your post of FB last night made me smile and a bit teary eyed!
Robin, how were the birthday festivities?
I can't remember what else I read yesterday! Sorry!
Off to the TM - I am going to do some intervals this morning and see how it goes.

Katie, I hope the feedback stuff gives you the results you're looking for! Doesn't sound weird at all!
Good job @ your mtg! WTG! I caved to a small slice of pie last night.... I threw out the rest. Don't need the temptation. Can't believe that's all I had of it!
Have a great run this morning!
Builder met teh electrician and excavator here so I went over the electrical plan - where I want lights, etc.
-
I have a dentist appt. My mom was going to watch the girls (Is & Ju) but now she's not so they;re coming with. Then we race to get lunch and I'll have to drive Isabel to school. No plans for the day other than that.

Ohhhh UGH Kate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's an AWFUL way to start your day !!!
Hope Mufasa is okay now & it was a one time thing !!!
ugh at your carpets and Mikes good shoes !!
Last week our dog got a bag of brownies (BIG ziplock back FULL) off the table and ate through the bag and ate more than half the brownies !!!!! I know we are lucky she LIVED after all that chocolate but BOY did she have diarrhea for 2 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I basically kept her out until she was pooped out !!!! LITERALLY!!
I finally got my workout straight. I did burn intervals & extreme abs. It was my first time for Xabs and I loved it. Also loved BI this time. I guess it helps to be familiar with a workout !!!
I hope your day gets better Kate !

Kate, you poor thing! How awful! Is Mufasa outside now?
Becky, great work out! How is your tooth these days? Is it another two weeks before you get your permanent crown?
Robin, is your DD feeling better? How was STS Legs? For new recipe ideas, have you tried reading some food blogs? My problem is they make me hungry. And somebody told me about a site where you can put in the ingredients you have around and it will give you a recipe. Was that someone on here? I just did quick look for it and didn't find it, but I'll do more research if no one here knows what I'm talking about.
Katie, your feedback stuff sounds great! I hope it gives you the results you're looking for. Maybe I should look into that...
Angie, what are you up to today?
Hi to Klaudia, Colleen, Nina, and Lisa!
I *have* to be productive today. I've been very unmotivated at work lately, but that needs to change. I have tons to do, none of it is very fun, though, and I'm still so ticked off at my boss that it's hard to find any reason to do a good job. But, I will! This will all pass, right?
And, I am leaning toward going to Chicago. Why not? I'm not sure I want to spend the $$$ right now, but who cares? It's only money. Ha!

Hi Everyone!
I didn't workout last night because I was too tired. This morning I did Max Interval Plyo and a 15 min run. I was really wiped out. My allergies are bad and that makes me really tired. I always have problems this time of the year. Hopefully just another week or 2 and then back to normal.
Becky, I can't believe your dog ate your brownies.
Kate, sorry about your problems this morning. Did you get your email problem resolved?
Katie, good luck with the therapy. Running is going good but slow because I am doing Insanity too.
Robin, sorry about the scale. Hope the water flushes you out.
Anne, it will get better. Hope you can be productive today.
