Wow.

First off, thanks for your generous comments about Friday's post. I'd never seriously considered doing one of the events before - frankly fundraising isn't my strong suit. But after reading all the supportive comments, I feel about ready to take the plunge. I'll keep you all posted!

Ginger can't hear or speak - they are using a white board to communicate with her. The end is close, but she seems to be okay with that. She struggled through breast cancer, brain cancer, the treatment etc etc. She was a nurse at Duke and I know she got very good care - sometimes there is no "Lance Armstrong" ending.

Hub is sick with what I had last week, so we wound up staying home this weekend. We cleaned the house, prepped food for the week, had our moms over for a Valentine's dinner last night, and watched some tv.

Here is the intersting thing - I have been on this medicine since last Sunday, so just over a week. I know I have been sick, but I was okay this weekend. I haven't had a binge since I started it. Nope, not over the weekend. I ate some foods that aren't normally in my rotation - I bought a pint of lowfat ice cream and ate about a third of it - spread out over 3 days and 3 servings. I dunno - I just never had that panicky "I gotta soothe myself" feeling. I've lived with that so long that NOT feeling that way seems strange.

We went to the gym Saturday morning - I did one lower weight exercise for each body part - only 1 set. And 15 minutes on a treadmill. I was tired when I was done, so I was obviously still recovering this weekend.

We got some very pretty snow - just enough to make the grass white and its gone today. That's my kind of snow storm! :-)

Hope you all have a groovy day.
