Good morning, everyone:

MaryL and Sonali!! An especially "Good Morning" to you!

I know this is tough but keep going. I just keep telling myself, "NO MATTER WHAT!!"

Yes, I emptied my house of food, but I have a car and there are 7-11s and fast food places all over; as if it were a food gauntlet I pass each time I visit my husband at the hospital.

The trying times have made my resolve weaker and I indulge, but come on!!! I see changes in my body and I need to be strong and continue this journey——a journey I have yet to complete.

So, with all the stresses and the disappointments, we can STILL DO THIS!!

Hang in there folks! I'm going upstairs and sit on my bike now.
