To think that 6 months ago, I could barely walk across the parking lot. With baby steps I plan to win this race. I still have a long way to go, but I am looking forward to the journey, and I no longer see this as a punishment, but more of an adventure.

Oh yeah, also today at my checkup with my rheumatologist, she felt that with the significant weight loss that I have had that we could start to lower the amount of arthritis medications that I am currently taking to see how I tolerate that. She is of the feeling that I am doing so well that I should do fine with less of the drugs in my system, and the drugs I take are quite toxic so that is a big step for me. And on top of all of that, it is 83 degrees in the neighborhood today, and I am very happy!

Hope everyone else is seeing the positive side of life today too!
