Congratulations on the speedy recovery. Doesn't look like your your stride broke at all. I see a lot of positives (negatives?) on your girth measurements.

I think I may have had to backtrack a bit, but not too much. I think recovery is easier when you are knocked down from a healthier base, so I'm thankful for that.

We are starting a Wellness Program here at work this year, and tomorrow are out health screenings....just basic stuff. I am glad they are doing SOMETHING, but I still don't think they are doing as much as they can. Basically, all we've done so far is fill out a confidential questionnaire and then the screening tomorrow (weight, BMI, BF, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc). Anyone who does the questionnaire and screening will be put into a drawing. First prize is $50,000.
My take on this is that everyone is going to do the steps necessary to get into the drawing. BUT, there is no incentive being given to get healthier.....there is only incentive to get into the drawing. You watch.....someone will win the 50K who smokes, has high blood pressure, and is obese. I don't know how I would have done it differently, but I think there should be more accountability to get into this drawing than to just simply fill out a form and show up to give some blood.
Now, of course, if I win the 50K, you won't hear me complaining at all. LOL!
Tonight is workout 3B of Stage 2. I won't be taking a break since I had an inadvertent one while sick.
On a completely different topic, my ex's best friend (and my friend for over 20 years) had a grand mal seizure and was found dead in his home. So sad!!!! My ex just lost his brother to suicide and now this. I really feel terrible for him and for my friend's family.

That is some serious $$$$ just for filling out some papers. I agree there should be something with more "accountability" to it!! Hope YOU win!!!
So sorry to hear of your ex's friend - that's terrible!!!

Jane,
Sorry to hear about the death. That is terrible.
Secondly, you look amazing! I can see a really big difference in your pictures. Great job.
I have been trying to get a similar program started here at work, with some resistance. I hope you win!

Hi Jane!
My condolences for the loss of your friend, something so sudden and tragic is always hard to deal with. My thoughts are with you.
I also wanted to tell you how amazing you are looking! Your update photos really highlight the hard work you have been putting in and you should be extremely proud. I was happy to see that you opted for the skimpier clothing to show off that body!!  You have made such progress and it really shows all over. Good for you and keep up the great work!

Thanks, Lorianne! Maybe a pink bikini is in my future, eh? Thanks for the kind words and condolences.
