I took two weeks off of exercising and dieting at Christmas. (Did pretty well with the diet anyway!)

I haven’t been to the gym since I got back Dec. 29th however. I have been working very much. I twisted my back also unloading the truck—but mostly I have just been too distracted to go.

I have been walking as that made my back feel better. It finally stopped hurting Saturday, Jan. 8th. I am treating it gingerly but ready to get back in the swimming pool.

But! I am going back to the mountains tomorrow or Friday. My youngest sister has to have gall bladder surgery Friday. In addition, my oldest neice is expecting a baby anytime. I need to go stay with my mom because everyone else is busy. I need to keep her distracted and help her with my dad.

I am going to see if I can get her to go swimming because that is something she loves to do.

Say a prayer all is well.

I will be off 43T from Jan. 12th until Sunday—Jan. 21st.
