This morning started with a positive note as Pandora, (Dorie), was able to wake me with her happy kisses and tail wagging while keeping her balance on the bed, a first in a little over a month.

I had a wonderful weekend with Scott in Santa Monica. I was left for the first time to work on making choices on what I ate while on vacation. I feel I had a mixed bag, some choices were great. Yet it was harder at dinner time, but I did ask with my choices for no fat and less sodium. I had wanted to make it to the gym while out but did not plan ahead for that.
