Thanks for the "Happy Birthday"!! The good things today: (1) I am down 120 pounds from a year ago Thanksgiving!!!!! (2) I feel better and look better than I have in -- oh, say --25 or 30 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (3) My best birthday present -- an air walker. You know -- like the Gazelle that Tony Little advertises on TV. I had one several years ago -- prior to WLS -- and I really liked it. Now the bad: (1) I am trying to recover from a "yucky" infection. Took the last of the antibiotics yesterday. I still feel somewhat yucky -- congested -- and occasionally coughing my head off!! (2) My food program has gone to the dogs -- hmmm, can I blame this on the "yucky" infection?!?!? (3) Exercise has been nonexistent since being sick -- oh say, for about the last two or so weeks!! Things will get better. When I feel better -- I will be able to do better!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday and many more to come. Congrats on the weight loss you are doing great. I know what you mean by the "yucky" infection I am also getting over the second one in two weeks. I wish that I could just clear up and not be congested. You can blame it a little because nothing tastes like it should. Take care of yourself and again Happy Birthday!!!!
