Well, I am on the exercise row now. It took a while to get back, but, I am doing it. We have a walking track at the park three blocks from the house. I am getting up, putting on the Nike's and just doing it. I forgot how great it makes you feel afterwards. The catalyst was that I did a short hike up at Fred and Pat's house and while I wasn't speedy gonzales, I did it and was not breathless - hill and all. I've been doing the walking thing since we're back home. I am now down 40lbs.
