Gym is Open (Mourning Monday) 7/28

Cats are amazing creatures.  When my brother passed away suddenly many years ago, we were at a relative's house feeling quite shell shocked.  It was particularly hard for my sister, who was quite close to our brother.  My sister hates cats (and to be fair, cats hate her, too).  Our cousin's Persian cat, ordinarily very standoffish, went up to my sister, plopped itself on my sister's lap, and began purring as if to console her.  My sister said later it was the one time in her life that she actually liked a cat.

The carb monster is scary, isn't it?  I don't remember it being like that for me, either.  Best to stay away from them in order to keep the monster at bay.

I truly hope your ear feels better!

I'm proud to say that I made it to the gym today.  I did 30 minutes of fat burning program on the treadmill, 45 minutes of strength training, and 7 minutes on the elliptical.  Later on, I took the dogs for a walk down our hill, over one block, up the next street (also hilly), and then back home.  They enjoyed the walk and the doxie in particular was highly obedient, which is unlike him.  He usually pulls on the leash and feels compelled to be the block captain and keep the neighbors in check.  It was laundry day, too, so I climbed up and down the stairs several times.  Total calories burned today (according to my pedometer) were 354.
