As with most down days, I am trying to pick up and move on with great hope. I have reason to be happy—this will be the easiest Passover ever. Usually I am jonesing for Pizza or other breadstuffs by day 5 or 6. This time I have already given up the leavened bread, so it's a snap. Actually, matzoh is on the "foods to eat rarely or avoid" list. I'll just have a little for the show of it, and some red wine, but that's it. Ooh, the macaroons are going to be tough to resist. According to my schedule, I should be weighing in this Monday—but I'll be in NY. So it will have to wait till later in the week or egads—even the Monday following. This is because my doctor's office is a few blocks from where I work, and I'm not sure that area is where I want spend my days or weeks off.

Went for a walk with Domania walking gang and I must tell you IT WAS REALLY HARD. I felt, I don't know so much OLDER. Like everything hurt more, or like it was my first walk after being cut out of my apartment with the jaws of life (http://science.howstuffworks.com/jaws-life.htm). It wasn't the same kind of feeling I had at the beginning like "I'm going to stroke or die of a heart attack." More like "I slept on a chair last night." I guess that's an improvement, but I'm still wondering when I can do the walk without breaking a sweat. They are wondering when we can make it longer, harder, more uphill. I have quite a ways to go.
