I am having a good week this week.

First of all, our department has a team competing in our company's Back to Basics Challenge. We are ranked 145th out of 3,851 teams. Each day each team member is required to eat 5-7 servings of fruit and vegetables, drink at least four 8 oz. glasses of water, eat a serving from each of the food groups. and exercise at least 20 minutes. We started the challenge on October 4. So far, I have kept up with the challenge. It's amazing what a competition will do to keep one healthy. If only we could move up into the top 100.

Secondly, I have been dressing in professional attire and wearing regular work shoes all week. It has been a challenge, but I am keeping it up. I have gotten so used to wearing LL Bean twill pants, Lilly shifts and Tretorns for several months. I figure it is time to get back to normal.

One year ago today, I broke my foot. I try to be very careful so that it doesn't happen again. My foot seems to have improved a lot in the past couple of weeks. I never thought that it would take a year to recover, but it has. At least I am almost back to normal.

I hope everyone has a good Wednesday.
