Good Afternoon, my dear Angels.
After an anxiety-filled week, I have relief. I know I've mentioned I am anxiety-prone, especially when it comes to aspects of my health. There are some areas I had neglected for a long time. But, now, I have been poked, prodded, and squished with all the recommended tests. I am happy to report my body parts have been declared healthy. After I got off the phone with the nurse with my PAP tests results, I just cried (in relief).
Now, I feel like I can move on. Ever since the IBS started in early September, I've been spiraling upward and downward. I am curious to see how the IBS behaves (if thats really was it is) now that the anxiety is gone.
Pat: Yesterday you said "I'm getting a hunch that I can reduce cravings by adding more good carbs. This new SP plan has me being carb phobic." I had the same phobia. Its one of the few things I didn't agree with on the WW plan. Not all carbs are bad. The fact that the WW plan treated white rice the same as a good-quality brown rice made no sense. BTW, if you're looking for a good quality bread, one brand is "ezekiel". I can get it at Wegmans in the organic section (in the frozen foods case).
I hope everyone is well and no one is in the path of the snow. Carol, I'm not sure what region you live in. We won't be getting the 3 FEET forecast for Northern NY. Thank goodness.
Daily Affirmation: "I might just make it after all" (from MTM theme song)
Fitness report: an hour or so at the gym this afternoon to burn off some anxious energy.
Health Goal: Love my body and take care of it.
Gratitude: Be grateful for all my body does for me.
Namaste.
Suzanne

Good Afternoon, Dear Ones!
Suzanne - Hooray for reassuring test results. And I am in the Rochester area....love my Wegmans....and also glad we're not getting 3 ft of you know what.
Pat - Yay for PT progress! And thanks, my avatar photo was taken 2-3 years ago, when we were able to ride our bikes in January due to warm weather (and dry trails!). I could have done it this year, but just haven't worked up the enthusiasm for it. I mostly just ride the Expresso bike, indoors, this time of year:)
Daily Affirmation - I can do anything for 15 minutes
Fitness report - Tap dancing this a.m. It's a stretch compared to the beginner class, but it's good for me to be a little challenged to improve. Oh, and we have been warming up to tunes from George Michael and dancing to tunes from "Singing in the Rain", in honor of Debbie Reynolds. A nice way to remember those folks.
Health Goal - moderation and lots of water
Gratitude - for a "good enough" body
Be well!
Carol

Bravo Suzanne on your bill of health report. Those tests on parts we cannot see are nerve wracking. I wish you continued answers with your IBS, now. I did not realize a snow storm was moving in, I sort of turned the TV off and haven't been on FB much at all lately.
Carol I like your affirmation that you can do anything for 15 minutes - I'm going to steal that one!
I tried something with dinner last night that could be good or could be a disaster. I like to make something every week with a pound of ground turkey, either a chili or stir fry or burgers. Last night we wanted pasta with meat sauce so I got that started then realized there was only one can of diced tomatoes. With all the yellow peppers and zucchini it needed more moisture. I poked around and came upon a can of pumpkin puree and thought, why not? Added a bit of cinnamon and paprika and cayenne, too. Wow, it's delish! I brought some to work minus the pasta and put spinach in the hot turkey and pumpkin and veggies and had to share the idea.
