41 Days Before Closing (The time that remains before we have to get out of this house)

12 Days Before Closing (The time that remains before we can move into the new house)

I've been so busy that lately my diet has not been conducive to weight loss. I haven't gained that much but I've decided that I really need to crack down again before I have to buy all new clothes. There is a workout gym with all kinds of exercise equipment at the activity center that serves the community where we're moving. I plan to check that out. I may even drag my son out there to join me. There is water aerobics too. I can do that. But in the meantime, I thought I'd try a program that one of my friends recommended. She's a nurse. I plan to start on her program tomorrow. Of course, ALWAYS consult your doctor before entering into any exercise program.

Whew! What a workout! I hope that it'll hold me until I can get to the gym. Maybe I'd better check with my doctor. I wouldn't want to overdo it.
