Things are good

I haven't posted in forever. I come and look at my blog at least once a week but never end up writing anything. Even though I think I should, I don't. And then so much time went by that it seemed like it would be too hard to catch up. Whatever. I'm here today and I'm posting.

I've lost about 15 pounds this year. I keep chipping away at the huge amount of weight I need to lose. My eating is not perfect but it's pretty consistent.

Still riding the stationary bike almost every day. I miss walking and wish my back could handle more of it. The Saint asked if we were going to enter any 5Ks this spring/summer and I was thrilled. We did a few together last year and while he seemed to enjoy them, I never expected that he would volunteer to do it again! So April 15th we're doing the Dewey Dash again.

I got an early birthday present. The Ab Lounge Ultra. We bought it this weekend. There is a maximum weight load and I'm about 25 pound over it. Everyone tells me not to worry about it but I do. My plan was to lose weight and then start using it but I'm really dying to try it. We'll see how long I can hold out.

Dad is doing well. Surprisingly well actually. He had surgery to remove the tumor and part of his colon. He did not need a colostemy bag or radiation and seems to be healing well despite his diabetes. He's still cranky and self centered and I don't expect that will ever change.

Three weeks until my 40th birthday. I'm cool with it. I had planned to be at my goal weight for my birthday and that ain't gonna happen. But the important part is that I'm still trying and I haven't thrown in the towel.
