Happy Weekend, my Fabulous Followers:

I am working straight through this weekend as a teaching assistant and, though I love it, it can be exhausting so I am trying to do some good self-care with extra hydration and rest.

I can make it to Orange Theory after class today so that is great. The other days, I may try to use my home elliptical a little bit...or not.

I dropped my calories back down to what worked before for me just to get a quick drop for meeting the BMI for the surgery center! The weigh-in at the Pre-op physical is next Friday so I am sticking with it!
