Woo Hoo...
OK - this time, I am back - the holidays are over and there's no excuse
I definitely enjoyed the holidays, but didn't get out walking as much (ok, if any!) as I would like, I hit the street today with Megan and we went 2.5 miles. My resolution is to not bug out of walking because I'm cold either
My dog is MUCH better - god I love my vet, he is phenomenal! He has a podcast at vet america if anyone is interested He is the most down to earth, practical vet I've ever known. I knew it when he treated my kitty who ultimately died a year ago, but my feelings for him are confirmed every time I need to see him (I drive 45 minutes to get to him). My dog has collapsed vertebrae discs, and she's been doubled over chewing on her stomach which exascerbates the back problem. She was in agony. He gave her a shot of cortison, has her on some antibiotics (for mouth related problems) and prednisone for anti inflamatory...within 24 hours, she was back to herself! The whelping and screaming in pain was hard to listen to

It's so nice to see her doing well!
I had a great New Year's Eve, we had a big Casino Style party. And NO, I did not drink too much - 1 martini and that was IT - I tell ya, I'm being GOOD (at least in that department.)
The scale has inched up a bit - I'm not going to stress about it, the rest of the weight will come off now that the chocolates, cookies, fool's toffee, sugar coated pecans, Sparks Meat Pie, and all the other things are OUT of my house
I hope you're all doing well! Denise, it's GREAT to see you posting, I'll look for your diary, but I suggest you just start a new one! (Denise was at the party with me back in mid December where I swore off drinking too much)
Tomorrow I'll catch up on diaries - it will take me awhile!
