Good morning everyone.

Today I am going swimming in the warm pool.  After almost 2 months I feel I am ready to get back to swimming.  I am a little nervous, but I'll never know unless I try.

Good morning!

CC, you must be so excited to be able to get back to the pool - good for you! I know you like to make waves but take it easy today, woman.

Off to work this morning for another crazy busy week. I ended up going into work for a couple of hours yesterday just to spend some time getting organized and to get a couple of thing off my desk so to speak. I came home with a clear head, so it was worth it. Have to run a couple of errands after work, home for dinner and I would love to say it'll be an early night but things don't often work out that way. lol

Oh hey, as an aside, I think I read that you're going to Florida in a month? Fabulous! I shall live vicariously. ;)

Thanks Karen, I will try to take it easy in the pool.  If I start to feel any pain or tired I will sit on the step in the pool and rest, but the warm water will feel good on my back.  Yup, Florida in 3 weeks, I need to be stronger and better with my cane before I leave.  Can't wait for that Florida sunshine and warmth.

Please do - you don't want to push yourself, although tempting I'm sure, and "pay for it" in the days to come.

Whatever I had yesterday is gone, must be the many pots of coffee that I drank.  All that caffeine killed the little bugs :)  That's my story and am sticking to it.  Just have the sniffles now but that could just be allergies so no big deal now. It's clean up the fridge days so have to get rid of everything left in there as we are going away this weekend.  Don't really want to finish up the sweet potatoes but have had them a few weeks now and it needs to be cooked, at least I only have one left.

B - protein shake

S - frittata

L - green salad with grilled chicken and 1/2 cup of my greek salad without feta thrown on top

S - protein shake

D - steak, mushrooms, sweet potato and roasted brussel sprouts

Coffee Therapy - that's my kinda medicine.

It's my daily medicine :)  I just made pot #2 today and I'm not even sick.  Keurig first cup or two and then a full percolator is made while I drink the Keurig ones then at least one or two more percolators the rest of the day.  Just a wee bit of a coffee lover.
