I have always enjoyed snuggling with cats, reading novels and eating fudge. I have managed a walk on nice days in the company of my friend. No more, I have jumped on the exercise bandwagon and am attempting to convert Ted.

It started with an incredible bargain on a second hand cardio-glide machine. Then another bargain on a folding treadmill. You all know, I can never resist a bargain.

If you bring them home, you have to use them. Right? I started working out for about twenty minutes a day and I have seen an enormous increase in energy and stamina. I will keep trying to increase my time on both machines. Now, I am not losing any weight but I feel great and don't seem to crave sweets so much. Maybe that will come later.

In the meantime, I am feeling great and my cat misses me.
