and I said goodbye to Michael.

I can’t say it enough now - whatever anyone’s excuse NOT to move, it’s not valid anymore.  My friend DIED because of pulmonary embulism - probably because he was SEDENTARY and OVERWEIGHT.  He was 40.  40 years old!!!  And now he’s gone and all of his dreams died with him. 

I’m going to miss him so much.

But I’m going to be healthy. For me. For him. I don’t want to make anyone hurt like I hurt now because he’s gone.  When I die I want it to be because I’m an old lady who lived a full life, not a young person of 40 who still has half of her life ahead of her. 

There are no more excuses.
