A New Year Gift

I got a great gift this New Year...a great report from my doctor for my last physical. I was so excited that all my tests were ok. Not that I was expecting anything to go wrong but when you get older...well you know how it goes.

On Dec 4 I injured my leg. The injury was diagnosed as a torn muscle. It is/has been very painful. Just this week I returned to walking including climbing hills. I still have pain in the area but is much better. It probably was the world's worst bruise. Imagine the worst bruise you had and then make it a 100 times worse...that was on my calf and all the way down to my foot.

The gift of having my physical go well has reminded me that I can do this losing weight thing. There's really nothing in the way of me doing it except doing it. It has been difficult being off from the gym.

Today my goal is to visit the other gym in my neighborhood and pick up their schedule. I can access two gyms (I'm a Y member) and that way I will have more choices. It's been hard since I am working two additional jobs. I may go crazy this year...do you want to go along?
