Hi!
How are things? What's the weather like? It's hot but blustery here.
Tomorrow I must go to my GP to get a referral to a thyroid specialist. My recent medical check-up showed that I have a hormone imbalance, plus my thyroid gland is enlarged, and it has nodules. [1] As for my blood pressure, it's ok, but my pulse is a bit faster than it should be.
Starting today we are observing (we have) a fast devoted to the disciples of Jesus: Peter and Paul. In the morning, I had a porridge [2] without milk, but after [3] work, for dinnertime I couldn't resist the temptation and ate a chicken cutlet. Plus, I had a packet of sour cream left in my fridge, so I decided anyway I should eat it up in spite of the fast. [4]
I am looking forward to my holidays from work. All my coworkers are counting the days to when we can enjoy ourselves.
Now I am going for a walk with my daughter.

[1] You need an ultrasound.
[2] Variants: I had porridge. (uncountable) I had a bowl of porridge. (countable)
[3] I think you meant "after work" and not "at work". If I'm mistaken, sorry.
[4] The idea of "anyway" is already contained in "in spite of". Good variant: "... I should eat despite the fast." Remember: "in spite OF (something)" "despite (something)"
