Today I'm thankful for...
Hearing great stories of hope
Having such a wide variety of emotional support
Great friends and family
A warm house in this cold weather
I received my new shoes today (see the attached photos). I had been looking for just the right shoes to wear that show support for my wife's breast cancer. Last week, after looking for a few weeks, I found just the right pair of pink Chuck Taylor Converse tennis shoes. I'm planning on wearing these shoes until my wife is cancer free. I really want to show my support for her battle, and as lengthy as it might turn out to be I'm going to be there with my pink Converse until I know that she has won this fight.
I'm working hard to get to that 185 lbs. weight. I have been flirting with the 190 lbs. for the last month or so. I have been walking on either the tread machine or around the neighborhood the last few months to try and shed the last 5 pounds or so, and of course improved the diet. I haven't been missing the Soda (specifically Coke), or the once/week red meat self imposed restrictions. I've always heard that that last to 10 pounds is the hardest, now I know what that means. I was good at the Turkey feast, and didn't get carried away with the abundant fixings that was available (with the exception of the Pumpkin Pie, that was hard to stay away from). Physically I feel good, and I'm glad that I've been serious about this life style change, because with all the other stresses I don't need to feel bloated or lethargic.
In two days we will be traveling to UCSF for the results of the surgery (and for the post operative examination of Lulu's surgical site). The anticipation is the most difficult part of this whole experience. This is one instance that I wish I could speed up time!
