Sun and fun

Early days yet, but the sun is shining, a driver drove with his convertible top down, and I saw two children in shorts! My soul is singing! More than warm temperatures, it is the sun that lift my spirits. Clear days here, while the DC area is getting buried with snow. My daughter measured 18 inches, with a possible 10 more! I had a mammo on Wednesday and am waiting for the results. If the test comes back clear, I am set for a year. I continue to work with the diabetic support group and am making steady progress. The program began the week before Christmas, and as I had guests and attended a get-together, I didn't make any strides. Things have stabilized, and I am walking and riding the health rider along with kickfit and martial arts classes, eating cleanly (veggies, lean meat and fish) and a bit of yogurt and fresh fruit. I wish I could convince my husband to participate with me, but I can't. I record the food that I eat on two sites and participate in the discussions and skill modules. I've lost some weight and my blood pressure is normal. My niece, who helps my parents on Sunday is on vacation, so my sister and I are sharing the care. Trying to figure out when I can exercise as it will be too dark to walk when I get home. Praying for the family of little 2 year old Noah who got lost and died in the woods near his home and for Joey Feeks who is fighting her cancer battle.
