Bring on the dessert tray...

Today was my "orientation" at the Diabetes Clinic...despite 2 hours of great information, the session was not necessary.  Turns out, I am not diabetic.  I was/am borderline and am still in the high risk category, especially with my family history - sister, cousins, etc. who are all Type I diabetics.  So bring on the dessert tray cause the Penguin is back...and he's got a sweet tooth that needs satisfying.

OK, I know that won't help but it sure felt nice knowing I am once again (or still) relatively healthy.  Today was otherwise uneventful - the Board package was sent, which was the last deadline for a couple of days.  I had lunch with a colleague from the CFO Leadership program in the fall.  It was great to catch up and see how things were in his world - all is well.  He's an avid cyclist and a competitive one at that, and has given me some leads on a good bike shop - not to mention a contact who can help us save a few dollars when I buy my bike in a couple of weeks.  I will definitely be taking him up on that offer.

As for training, I am meeting Heather (my running buddy) at the gym this evening and we are running 8K.  We're building up for Sunday's 13K run.  I have to really give an honorable mention to my running buddies - Michelle and Lindsay - who've been running outside and waiting for me to re-join them since my knee/shoulder issues last year. They've switched their long runs to Saturdays which conflicts with curling, so I can't join them until after the cruise when curling os over for the season.

After the run tonight, I will join Alan in the pool for a swim - likely an easy swim to cool down from the run - say 1000m.  Then its the steam room or the hot tub to bring the week to a close.  I'll fill you in on how the run/swim goes tomorrow.

Tomorrow is weight watchers and I am nervous that I may have found a pound or two that were previously lost (not that I was looking for them).  I know that last week I had a cold and was dehydrated which may have added an extra pound to what I would have otherwise lost.  Not that I am obsessed...OK a little and I would really like to lose 5 pounds before the cruise in two weeks - so any gain would be a step backwards. I'll keep my fingers crossed and let you all know how it goes in the morning.

All for now...
