I got to get on the elliptical this morning!!!  Woo hoo!  I had to keep the resistance low, and my speed lower than usual but I got in 30 minutes!  My ankle is doing better than expected and I am very grateful!  Yesterday was extraordinarily busy yesterday and I suffered no ill effects of it this morning on the ankle.  My thumb is turning lovely colors and is sore when I do certain movements but it is doing well too…I still haven’t gotten brave enough to put my thumb ring back on though…  My fingers were pretty swollen this morning despite all the water and tea I have been drinking so I know TOM is to blame. 

Weigh in was 164.5 this morning…who knows?  I will take any loss I can get…  I do find it somewhat disappointing but the rest of me feels so good that I just can’t dwell on it too much.  Besides…I believe that my pills also have something to do with it and even though my dosage is decreased I haven’t gotten all the way off them yet…that will be soon… I was steadily gaining before I started this program so you know what…that is a loss after all!!!  At least I am going in the right direction for a change!  And feeling really wonderful…so how cool is that!!!
