Wow...one more week.  I still have not done well and don't know what I'm waiting for.  YES  - - we are having family medical issues.  A relative was just sent by EMS from Wooster to OSU Ross Heart Center in Columbus.  We're on hold until we find out when her surgery is scheduled.  Will do my best to mind my health while tending to hers.

Sunday already.   Wow the weeks fly by and is anyone making any progress on their Lighten Up journey?   YES.   I am.  I worked out two times last week in the swimming pool at the Y.  Got in two full hours of 'movement' which is what my doctor recommended.  MOVE is his main concern.  Works for me and I love to swim.

Yes.  I  needed to hear about the 20-day challenge even if I didn't open my emails until 3 days after it was sent.  I'm doing my best today and that should work - - one day at a time - -    Can't help but feel more inspired. 

My weight continues to climb in spite of the water pills the doctor gave me.  Looks like I'm going for more tests!  I feel fine it's just this water retention stuff which causes a great deal of pain in my legs.  Going Tues to swim at the "Y" and Wed. to work out with my husband.  Thurs. is swimming again and Friday weight and arobics.  Hope that helps to get things moving!   luv 2 all

OMG!  It's the 10th already.  My  best friend is mad at me as I didn't observe her birthday properly..  I know what that means.  I once returned a cousin's birthday card because I warned her if you send it late I feel that I'm an afterthought.  And now I'm doing the same thing to a friend that means the world to me!  What's that all about.  Is it all about me?  NO!  Absolutely not.  jUST being a little self centered right now.  I'm home alone because I don't want to be at a Captains' ball game with my spouse.  I want to be alone to reflect just where my thing is.

Something new on my health front:  I'm retaining water.  The Doc thinks its due to heat and humidity but is lookiing for other underlying possibilities.  Yuck!  I'm on  a water pill every morning and I'm told my water loss will result in a temporary weight loss.   Well....as my weight luck would have it - - I've gained three pounds.  So this is really an issue!  Hope to start "Silver Sneakers" at the "Y" tomorrow.  I'm going to start swimming and see if some sort of exercise will help me kick start a weight loss.  However, a stable weight would suit me just fine.  Hope to improve before long. 

Here we go.  Another last day of the month.  Time flies when you're having fun!  I will do better in July.  Must do better in July.  Really want to 'get this weight off once and for all!'  - - how many times have I said that in my life?  How many times do I have to keep losing the same pounds.  Why do I always regain?
