Week 7, Day 6

Tonight I live. Not just exist, but actually live. It's been awhile. And I like this. I'm eager for more really good days like today where I am able to get out and participate amongst the living. What a happy feeling to know it's coming!

Adam and I went to a fairly large auditorium to see a concert, and I got in and to our seats without having to stop and catch my breath and without feeling like I had just walked a million miles. Our seats were about as far from our car as possible, too, because the short route was blocked off by the extended stage. So we walked all the way around the concourse, only the stage-width difference from where we came in. And I did it. :) I don't think I could have done it without Adam to lean on a bit as we walked, but still....I've made so very much progress!

I had a couple of sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. And for dinner Adam and I stopped at the only place we could find open after the concert -- a greasy-spoon truck stop. We probably should have just come on home to eat, but we just weren't quite ready for that yet. So I ate eggs, hash browns, and toast. Probably blew my diet. But that's okay. Tonight was an awesome night. And I'm happy.

Week 7, Day 5

I hope everyone had a healthy and happy Halloween. We don't celebrate the holiday, so it was easy for me to stay away from the sweets. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be the hard ones for me.

It's been kind of an uneventful day. I got a lot of work done on a media list I'm creating for a client. Some exercise, the usual chicken and cheese sandwich on whole grain bread for breakfast and lunch, and some yummy garlic chicken with veggies and noodles for dinner.

Tomorrow is the day I'm excited about. A sweet friend of ours gave us tickets to go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. (Thank you, again, AM!) Awesome group! The last time I saw them, they weren't big enough to fill arenas. Now they're huge. And they've got a new album out, so I'm eager to hear the new stuff, too. There should be a fair amount of walking to get from the parking lot to our seats, and I'm so glad I'm in shape to make it. I feel like I'm beginning to join the land of the living again!
