Back on track. I only updated 1/2 a day in Sparkpeople last week, but today I have a stack of healthy snack foods on my desk, another stack of healthy lunches for the week in the office fridge, a pile of fruit at home on my counter, and a big pot of beef and barley stew cooling in my home fridge. This morning I used Marcy for 15 minutes and then did 30 crunches. So far I've drunk 3 cups of water today. For the first time in over a month I know that I have no more surgeries ahead and both of my legs are without pain or discomfort. I've lost a pound or two since last week and a bit of inch-age, too.

I had a talk with my mother a few days ago about babies. Both B and I really want them, but the timing never seems to be right, especially since now B is facing the end of his current job as of April 1 (or at least, the end of any incoming $$) and he doesn't have anything else lined up yet. My mom looked me over carefully and said, "Don't worry about jobs or income. Once you've done a month worth of exercising every day, go ahead and start trying again. And try to get up to an hour a day on the bike." So that's my new project. And since B and I want to start trying in April, that gives me a pretty immediate goal.

Today is another day, and tomorrow promises to be one, too. I may have to pick myself up occasionally, but I'm back on track and ready to roll!
