For the last few days, almost a week, we've been visited by Jack, the horse from next-door, since my sister-in-law left and his buddy horse died over the winter, Jack has been lonely. Today he went to live with another horse. He's been around for nearly 20 years so he'll be missed. Today when he was over he ate two apples from my hand and let me walk him back home. Hope he enjoys his new home and new horsey friends.
My good friend has been on Weight Watchers for a while and she has had great success especially since she's been blogging her progress. I'm not joining, but need to chart my exercising ~ Marlene and Carol and I were very dedicated to exercise at least 4 days a week before Carol had a grandson and my mom died, since then we've been hit and miss. This week I made it two days on the treadmill, each time at least a mile at 3.5 mph, not earth shattering but at least its a start. When I can do the elliptical for a half hour I know I'm back in practice! I have to ask my brother if he wants to sell/lend his elliptical, its much nicer than the one we have.
Surgery is just about a month away so I want to get into shape before (yea right) if I was in shape I wouldn't be having it done.
I'm also going to count yesterday, I was in NYC on a walking tour and walk we did! All around the lower east side - it was very interesting, it was sponsored by my Teaching American History course - we always have the greatest trips and excellent speakers. Yesterday was no exception, the girl who took us around Chinatown was very knowledgeable and had us in all kinds of little alleys and side streets. Then we had a tour of Little Italy, the African Grave Site, City Hall, Tammany Hall, the Jewish District and the first department store. An interesting day. Next month we are going to Harlem, it should be fun.
