I  am pretty much doing exactly what you're doing Tara except with the gym I just got out of it for a while.  And I miss it. so this week is about getting back to the gym no matter what.

I have been going for so many long walks , because it  is so beautiful outside, yes it is a little chilly but the sun is a shinning and it feels good.  

I have lost two pounds as well. Well, that's according to my father's so  I have no idea what that means. I'll have to weigh myself again today at the gym when I go.  

But generally I feel good, I have some more energy so that means I am not using that as an excuse to not go to the gym, which has happened.   And it doesn't help the fact that my father who said he would kick my ass if I copped out on him , but noooo  no ass kicking for me.   wow this is the first time I have asked for someone to kick my ass.   I have been trying to kick my own ass but it's not really working. 

but this week is going to be different I AM going to the gym this week and I AM no going to make excuses for not going.  I will feel better after going too.   well I gotta go , get Inara ready for a walk
