Support from a Friend

I spoke with a friend of mine today. Since her birthday in March, she has lost 113 pounds. She wants to lose another 50 pounds. She is about my height and was about my weight. In March, she turned 50 and decided to do something about her weight. She joined a gym and got a trainer. She eats about 1500 calories. At first, she could not walk, do a minute on the elliptical trainer, lift a weight, or a sit up. Now, she works out 2 hours every day (except Sunday). She can go an hour on the ell...It's Fall

I'm supposed to have dinner with a friend tonight...

It has been so long since I've blogged. Since my last blog in April, my daughter got married on August 9th. She wanted a Fall wedding, and we were planning that. Then, my son came home with news of his possible deployment to Afghanistan in September or October.

My son won the $5 bet. As soon as I...
