Adam’s return to school this morning inspired me to wake up early and have him drop me off at the gym.  I sweated on the elliptical for 30 minutes at level 6 random and then did a quick strength/stretch routine.  It’s still in the 60’s here and the walk home was pretty glorious.

A quick shower later and I was sitting down to the bowl I’ve been dreaming about since Charlottesville.

Chobani Champions Honey-Nana Greek Yogurt topped with a sliced banana and a big handful of Great Harvest granola.

This breakfast has been on my mind ever since Kath handed me a sample of her chewy yet crunchy, salty yet sweet granola last week.

My expectations were met, and then exceeded.

I’ve got to hurry, I’m running late for an eye appointment.  Can I make a confession?  I haven’t been to the eye doctor since sometime in middle school!!!  Whoops, major healthy living fail.  I don’t wear contacts or glasses (20/20 last time I went) so there was no obvious need to make an appointment, but as a soon-to-be-doctor’s wife I know it’s better to get a check up beforeyou have a problem.  From the Hippocratic oath –

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

Other than my peepers, I am pretty good about being proactive about my health.  Here are the appointments I consider essential for a woman in her 20’s –

• gynecologist (yearly)
• dentist (6 months)
• dermatologist – skin exam (6 months)

What yearly medical appointments do you keep on your calendar?
