I am going to drink more water and use the circuit weight machines at the gym today and then walk the treadmill again. My mom is going with me and we are going to work out together and so that is different for me.

A mile, MJ. That is wonderful. I just put in my exercise time working outside. My son is here from Alabama and was doing some outdoor things for me. I told him I couldn't help, but it's hard not to, so I have raked, sweep, hauled stuff around, etc. Now I can start weeding and such, but only for a limited time each day. I will take the dogs for a walk later, but that's not new. I skip cold rain and less than 10 degrees below zero, but other than that it's year round. If I can't walk them, I can't keep them and I need them. One is doctor ordered and one is her companion.
For lunch, I had a yummy fajita salad at a local restraurant so it's a light supper day, but that's okay.
What will I do different today? No snacking after 8:00 pm. It has worked for me in the past. It will work again. I AM losing weight and getting healthier.
Another difference for my health?? Lots of hugs. The child that just here is my youngest and the only boy. He has a hard leaving when we know we won't see each other for at least a month. He took his nephew's quilt and will drop it off as he goes south tomorrow and save me $40 in gas. Yeah, now I can buy more fabric with the gas money.

Missy, This is only my second month on this thread so I missed what your surgery is for. What is it for? Good luck, I know you'll make your goal before your surgery is scheduled.
Welcome all newbies. This is such a supportive thread.
What I'm doing different is drinking water.
Have a good day everyone!
