So between walking the dog and my 45 minutes walk in encinitas I figured I did 60 min. Really was tired today but pushed through it with a little bit of aches. Wasn't hungry earlier but I haven't given up the salsa and chips which i know is coming...I had eaten pretty good all day and as I noticed when I get tired I want to eat...usually something salty. I have been chugging the water b ut was hoping to get through with no chips tonight.
The answer of course is to get them out of the house. period. I can't use the excuse "for company" anymore. This is the new me. For My Health, Company Can eat what I eat....but I am always so concerned because so many people don't like this and don't like that...I have always been the house where you can go and be taking care of how do I give that up if I don't have food for everyone? An issue for the therapist for sure!

Old and New Friendships
This is a very interesting time in my life, and I'm sure for many of the babyboomers and others who are connecting with old friends due to social networks. Tonight I went to dinner with a new friend and we had such a great time. I thought I was past the point of developing these kinds of relationships with women at my age. But do to the overwhelming and insane ability I have of talking to strangers I connected to Kathy a wonderful friend who has opened me up to many new experiences and brought such joy to much life.
As I was laughing with Kathy and her husband tonight at dinner I had flashbacks to other times I have just enjoyed peoples company and little blips have been coming to me since I got back from dinner of some of these great relationships.
A friend Trish, who I went to highschool with and I reconnected on facebook. Everyone should have a friend like Trish. She says it like it is. You may not want to hear it but she says it for your own good. It was refreshing then and still is now. After 35 some odd years she can still say it to me and I smile and say thinks for the honesty. Which brings me to why I realize I like my new friend Kathy so much. She has that same ability to say it how it is.
And then there is my new friend Kim. A true women who can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. She inspires and exhausts me. She has limitless energy and still has kids at home. And has boundless creativity. And therein lies what is so special about her. I see the creativity bouncing off her like high voltage energy and it astounds me. And inspires me.

The Basics
Afternoon:
Well today I met with my trainer Cindy. A lovely woman who is about my age and as big as a minute. We are the same height..except I have about 75 pounds okay maybe 80 on her. She was surprised at how flexible I was and said I need to do cardio for 90 minutes day, it could be 3 l/2 hour sessions or divide it up into 2 45 minutes, etc. Now I need to go over and get myself weighed to see my starting weight. Oy ..and vey....
We did some basic reps of arms and leg stuff. Not bad, a bit on the stepper, not bad..But I feel it already. Okay I won't be a baby. But I think this ultimate challenge involves change, which is a good thing, but not ALWAYS an easy thing. Pray for me darlings. I could use all your prayers and support.
Give me 20 reps, on the floor, now...lololol kidding she is not like that... L
