I got to run yesterday!  I’m so relieved, everything still feels okay.  I don’t have much time this morning, so I’m planning a run this afternoon after work.  Still working on finding a stationary bike for cross training and when injuries occurr.  Hubby picked up a new scale, it measures body fat and bone mass…I haven’t read up on it yet to figure it all out …  I did step on the scale this morning 129/130 - it teatered between the two.  I knew my other scale was a bit more generous, just goes to show I need to be as dedicated to the food portion as I am to the exercise.

So yesterday I was going through my daughter’s homework and I came accross this paragraph she wrote.  The question I think was ‘What is the best gift you’ve received?’  Here’s her answer - some of it is entirely a 10 yr old but the essence of it, I wish all us women could buy into.

When people ask me what my favorite gift is I don’t know what to say. I am thankful for many things including my friends and day dreaming. I love winter, but I like to be warm. I love how I am , me and all the cool things about me.  The things I want are things I do, like saving polar bears, making an amusement park, etc. Most of those I’m trying to do. So I’d give up everything all the presents ever just to be who I am.

Me and all the cool things about me.  I love it!
