Stayin the night.....

So this is my second attempt to not go home from the tower (Denver International Airport---DIA). With our wacked-out schedule, I get 4-5 hours of sleep on the nights I work late and then have to be back in early the next day (this is because by the time I get down from the top of the tower cab, wait for the train to the terminal building, walk through the parking lot and then drive home---takes about an hour door to door).

Last week I wasn't the most comfortable, but was willing to give it another try. Anything for some more sleep!!!! Anyway, my shift was uneventful tonight ----NO thunderstorms---Yeah (makes my shift much better)

So, I am loving the goals everyone seems to be posting....

Here are mine...

1. Stay within my points.....23
2. Drink 100 oz water
3. Exercise 6 out of 7 days....tall order but I really want to give myself a buffer b/c I am going home (INDY) to see all my peeps. I thought if I do really good this week up until next Saturday (Aug. 25th) maybe I can lose 1 more pound before I go---some wiggle room when Strawgirl and I go out to eat!!!!
4. 5 Fruits/veg.
5. 2 Milks.

Menu for the day:

Fiber one bar----------2
peach------------------1
turkey pastrami sand.--5
chips------------------2
teddy grahams choc-----3
taco salad-------------8
watermelon-------------1

total------------------22
Water-----------------100+
Milk------------------2
Fruit/veg-------------5

Exercise-----------30 min on the ELLIPTICAL

All I know for now....gotta get some sleep----that's the whole point of me staying in this Hell hole!!!lol

Congrats on the 160s!!! That is so awesome. Thanks for the advice, I think I will call my doc and see what they recommend, I just can't imagine walking 60 miles with Flow!
Great for you setting some goals, you will do awesome!

I admire you! How do you do it? I dated a guy who's father was an air traffic controller, and man that guy was busy. I just really admire your self discipline, you're doing great!
