I'm at 1400 for today... yes! my goal this week is to start stretching again daily. I'd like to start yoga soon, and I want to be ready for a good class.

You are not crazy! I would never dream of doing such a thing. You are very brave to push for that goal!!!!!!!! You can do it! You CAN do it!

Catje! no...not crazy....inspired! Those "crazy " notions will keep you getting out and doing your thing. Hey, when I bought my first bike as an adult, it was in November... the following April I rode my first 60 miles! As with all things, it is about practice!  Swimming is extremely hard for me, it might have helped if I had been taught properly! I seriously look like I am thrashing about. Hey, it is  abtter workout for me than most....LOL My day: 1 egg + 2 oz lean ham + 3 spears asparagus + 1 c nf milk 1 protein drink with green tea + 1 lg orange Lunch:  1 c hi pro soup + 1 svg pretzels + 2 tbsp hummus snack:  1 large apple just a minute ago, I threw a small handful of nuts into my mouth....getting hungry!!!! Supper:  still on the grill - so windy out, think it is about blowed out! Lean pork loins + 1/4 large grilled sweet potato in olive oil/salt/pepper + 1.5 c spinach salad w/bacon, onion, vinegar, salt & pepper.  No exercise...i hope to get out after supper for a quickie walk, but at this rate, hmmm, it may be too late. Truth is, it would not hurt me to take a day off - my shoulders are sore, my knee was even barking a bit. Old is hell!  hot tub for this lil black duck!
