I knew that elliptical machine would collect dust in the basement. Even Mr C hasn't used it more than a couple of times, and he is the one who insisted on getting it. Maybe I'll use it when it's too hot or stormy to go outside.
I did manage to take my dog for a walk yesterday afternoon at Woodland Park since the weather has been gorgeous. I might do it again today. It's funny how his personality is so different when we're away from our turf. On our street -- or in our house or yard, he wants to kill anyone that approaches. When we drive off for an adventure somewhere else, he's totally relaxed. Must be a territorial thing.
I don't know how to account for gaining so much weight in a couple of months. I had a physical exam on 1/31 and my doc said I looked fine and all my labs were great, even blood sugar and cholesterol. Only low on vitamin D. She didn't say anything about my 20-pound weight gain since the last visit. I am still having knee trouble, but it really hasn't been intolerably stiff like it was 2 years ago.
Right now my obsession is chocolate-covered almonds. I feel really great today, so I'll try to eat better. I didn't have supper last night, and I ate only a half-sandwich at lunch, but it was a big greasy one. I don't know why vegetables do not seem appealing to me at all right now. I need to get a recipe mag with sexy vegetable pics to get me interested again.
