Well I seem to have slept the weekend away. I am not sure exactly why I am so tired, but the sleep feels good. Saturday, I went over to Jill's mom's house for dinner. After dinner, some how we started talking about walking and how long it would take to walk back to my house. You know me, always up for a challenge, so I started walking with Scooter in tow. Actually we didn't get that far before he had had enough and I had to carry him. The challenge was to see how far I could get in 20 minutes (with flip flops on). I have to say I was quite proud of myself. I was almost to the fire station when Jill pulled up behind me. It felt good to walk and feel the blood pumping. I totally under estimated the power of hills though. Thats me a Floridian where there are no hills. But with practice I should be able to take on those hills with no problem.

I am also preparing to head back to Florida for about 5 days. This will be the first time visiting since leaving December 31, 2004. I am not quite sure how things will go, but I am excited at being able to return for a visit. It should provide me with quite a challenge for my eating.

Well it is late and I have paperwork to catch up on....So until tomorrow.....

I know how hard it is to get out there and motivate yourself to be active, but I know you will feel more energetic when the sweat gets a-flowing. I know that going home brings with it its own challenges but you have to concentrate on the longterm goal for yourself. Keep trying...we believe in you.
