Denver!

Just a quick update...
Denver is going really well - I have a small class - just 7 students, but they are all great. There is a genuine desire to all achieve their PMP certification within the next few months. It's so awesome to have a group of motivated learners! My first class that's actually running a bit behind schedule, so I've adjusted the class length to come in 30 minutes earlier. Thankfully all of the participants are very flexible.

On the Atkins front, still doing great and surprisingly not very tempted. I had a late night last night, so I got a bacon cheeseburger and cup of broccoli cheese soup to go. Even though I ordered it with no bread, no fries, they included them. But it was easy to pull the bun off and didn't even want the fries. (wow! what has happened to me??!!). Still no sugar - can't believe it!!! 2 1/2 weeks with no sugar - completely unheard of. I can't monitor my weight here, but my assumption is that a few more pounds might be coming off.

Exciting news on the HRT withdrawal - I think the worst of the hot flashes are over, my mood is definitely WAY better, and I think I can officially say I'm off HRT! :-) This is so awesome - both for my long term health and for our bank account!!!!

Not so good news: my ankle. The pain still hadn't improved yesterday and I actually jammed it getting out of my car and it was surprisingly painful. Finally broke down and went to Urgent Care - they were awesome! I thought worse case scenario was a broken foot and a cast. But found out that worse case scenario was actually torn ligaments that won't heal on their own. And that's what it appears to be. I'm supposed to get in for an MRI immediately and see an orthopaedic surgeon ASAP. :-( ($$$$$$$$$$$). But we'll get through it - I want it and need it fixed and strong - we have a lot of hikes coming up!
