Wk 4, Day 1 (Mon, 12-Aug-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• I for way too much work from my sub con work this weekend which I didn't finish until early this afternoon.  I called the place and told them and they said I could take the day off without penalty.  I'm hoping to not do that.
• No workout today.
• I stopped making excuses and decided to finish the HOA paperwork so we can get the solar screens and security door approval needed.  This should've been done in the Spring and now Summer is nearly half over.  My bad.  I will be emailing the HOA office on this tomorrow morning.
• I'm glad my husband reminded me to register the kids for karate.  Did that and paid for this next session.
• Tomorrow I am determined to get the remainder of what is needed for the Immigration stuff done and then mail it off before we pick up the kids from school.  That's been on my list of To Do for way too long.  If at the worst, we will mail off on Wednesday, as we still need to get passport photos.
• Am doing much better with not drinking water during my meals.  It's a challenge and I'm definitely not drinking that much water during the day.

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, probiotic.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup) - about 1.5 of these, which is not enough.
