    I kind of lost it this week. It is the week before TOM and that is always the worst week for me. I so need to talk to my endocrine doc about my cycle. I have to wait for my appointment next month {sigh}

    For the last 3 months I have been parking as far away from my shopping areas as I can. I may not be exercising but I am getting in lots of steps. One of my clients told me I have a "bounce in my step" - much easier when 73 pounds are gone!!
