A few more weeks and I'll be back on my feet and hopefully out of the bed. Boy, it gets old when all you can do is lay around and eat all day. Seriously. You really take for granted being able to stretch your legs. It is also hard to cut back on food when you are just laying around even though that is exactly what you should do. To think this has been my problem for close to 24 months. No wonder I have put on a few pounds. Believe me when I say, Exercise is the key to keeping it off, even if it is a small walk around the neighborhood.

Last night my neighbors dog got out at 2 in the morning. My husband was finishing his run and coming home when he saw this dog our fence. At first he thought it was ours and that she had gotten out. Then, from the shadow he saw this big dog come from the shadows and just plop in front of him. It gave him a scare until she laid down in front of him on her back and begged to be petted. Dixie has been getting out of her fence lately and coming to visit my dog and my neighbor's, but why this early in the morning I don't know. Anyway, he took her home. I take mace with me on my walks just in case the dog isn't friendly.
