The NSV first - last night I flew in coach in the MIDDLE SEAT without any problems! No overlap into other people's space. The seatbelt fit with about 6 inches to spare. I was even able to reach down to rustle around in my bag on the floor. Woohoo!!! Now for the warning - if you feel yourself getting dizzy it might be because your blood pressure meds need to be adjusted. I went to the doc this morning & my blood pressure was 94/56! And yes I've been getting dizzy especially ...
I can now "outwalk" my dog. Lately it seems like we get out there a ways down the road & then she just stops in her tracks. Looks at me accusingly & I can read her mind saying "ENOUGH already". I had to trick her yesterday. We were walking the loop at Seward park (fellow NW Seattle area people might know). It's a 3.2 mile loop of gorgeousness on Lake Washington.

I've had a hard time getting all the water in, so drink A LOT of diluted Crystal Lite! So... 1. Do any of you think it makes a diff in weight loss using it vs. plain water? 2.

Now that I think about it...the 2nd question is kinda stupid for me because I drank diet coke just about every day of my life without a thought for my health
