Good Morning All !

133 OTD ! Two days of cross country skiing agreed with me !! My stamina and flexibility far exceeded my wildest dreams! I am feeling so grateful for this second opportunity at a healthy life.

Two interesting things, I purchased my skis at about 120 pounds heavier (and really never did anything but shuffle in them). I encountered some difficulty on hills...I fly going town, and can't set my center of gravity climbing up. Second, with thermal underwear and fleece ski pants, my thighs didn't even come close to rubbing together !

Positive thoughts and energy to those healing (human and fur friends) , moving, working through family challenges, and seeking healthy balance. I am so grateful I found you !

I'm glad your ski trip was fun, Ocean. Ah, Carbon, tough to work on so little sleep.

We are probably going to have to euthanize Duchess today, as she has essentially lost her ability to walk. The sweet puppy is sleeping by the fire in her usual spot this morning as I carried her here. She even had a good bark at someone walking by.

114.75 again with 1511 calories. I'm adding lots of nuts today and am going to keep the calories up (with healthy stuff as much as possible).

Here is Duchess this morning:
