Amazing!

You look amazing! 
Those are such wonderful words to hear :) 
My friend Marco told me that yesterday morning,
and it sure felt good! 

In my quest for getting fit and losing weight,

I track my mileage on a daily basis, 

with a goal of  384 miles this year.

My reward:  a trip to the beach!

I'm getting there....

125 miles to go!!   :)

Workouts and walking help with the stress levels, too. Its been quite a rocky road lately, and sometimes my 

emotions get the better of me, which makes my mouth runneth over.  I have been trying to choose my words

carefully, in order to convey the meaning and the importance of the point I'm trying to get across.  

It gets difficult when dealing with Brian's saga - I tried to convey to him the importance of writing things down.  He got worried about chronological order, and I wanted to slap him upside da head -- and without letting my gritting teeth show, I told him that he needed to start immediately, and write daily whatever transpires.  Because you can't go back in time and make half assed notes later.  That what he writes

down now could affect his life a year from now, ten years from now, even 20 years from now.  Hell. for the rest of his life.  Its very very very important.  I hope he truly understands that.  I can feel my anxiety over this rising just writing it again.

The latest:   she wants him to visit her on Saturday, so they can be friends.  My instinct is to suggest he say no, to let some time go by, some emotions by the wayside before going down that road.
