Physical therapy was a bear today, but it felt good. Good to finally use muscles that haven't been used in a long time. In fact I wondered were they had been hiding all these years.I'm sore right now but a good kind of sore, and not in pain.

He slowly turned up the speed and I anticipated the pain....no pain...few minutes later...even though I'm going at the slowest speed...no pain...still holding onto the rails for dear life...no pain.

Temptation comes in little forms such as the treats that you have to prepare for the kids in the afternoon. Then there is believe it or not the little leftovers on the plates as you are cleaning off the night dishes. For me, its LITTLE MARSHMALLOWS that I GIVE my dogs every night in order to get them to take their medicine.It is so easy to plop one of those little burgers into my mouth without thinking about it. Before long one becomes two, two becomes three and I have a problem called TEMPTATIO...
