Sunday, Feb. 20

WOW...Feb. 20th already.  Not much time to waste until the weigh-in next Saturday.  I have to report I took Jasper, my dog, for a walk.  The first time in two years.  The fact that my ankle (even though I wore my foot brace) is still sore two days later, I did it.  The foot doctor said my best exercise was a recumbent (SP!) bike but my back gives me h - e - double hockey sticks then too.  I'm so tired of pain I prefer chair exercises for now.  They work for me.  No, I not lining up excuses as to why I didn't lose weight - - I feel that I have.  It's all the changes and decisions I've made since that first meeting Jan. 31 that I'm proudest of.  I sign off today with a laugh:  "Can't wait for tomorrow - - I get better looking every day"!
