Yesterday was a bit of a mental setback for me on the weight loss and getting into shape front. I'm trying not to dwell on the fact that according to the doctor's scales I have not lost an ounce! I didn't want to know about the weight thing but they don't really give a choice in the doctor's office these days.
I did work out yesterday and am still feeling like my clothes are fitting a lot better!! I need to keep focused on that. I won't see results on the scale for a while because you can actually gain weight while your body is building muscle out of the excess fat. Muscle weighs more than fat! Just keep going and the weight loss will happen gradually so it is lasting!

Otherwise, yesterday was more of the same... cold, cold cold!!
I had a nice lunch with Fran and we had a couple of good laughs. She was quite entertained with the story of the train trip to Chicago and also with my MP3 player.
Oh wait, I don't think I have written about the MP3 player yet. We were Christmas shopping... my mom and I. She wanted to purchase something for Don. Kohl's was having a good sale so we started there since it is usually a family favorite. We were looking at gadgets and electronics since pleasing him with clothes is sometimes a bigger challenge than I was up to. We looked at several things a Digital picture frame, an electric coffee mug and then I came across an MP3 player that was a reasonable price. So I said "Hey here is an MP3 player for $39.99." My mom never missed a beat, she says "An Empty What?!?". I fell apart right there in the middle of the store. I almost couldn't compose myself enough to check out at the store. We left without the Empty 3 player but decided on a portable TV for Don's many trips by bus and car to Ohio and other parts of the country. I can tell you I will never look at my MP3 player without thinking of my mother!!
Well, more later. Time to get back to work.
