Joey

This business of getting old can be quite a challenge. When last I went to visit the doc he said my knees were shot.  Great!  There are some things to be done to relieve this condition, but he recommended I first try to lose some weight.  OK, fair enough, but with bad knees exercise becomes more of a challenge doesn't it?(especially on a boat). Alas, I seem to have developed this little friend at my waist I call "Joey".  The problem is that as Joey prospers my knees suffer.

So here I am visiting with family in Florida.  I've done some walking and there is a pool which I have been dipping a toe into whenever I can.   Unfortunately I am also eating my brains out at every opportunity!!!!   Today I decided to take things up a notch so I went to the gym.  I have a little gym routine I do and I was shocked by how little of it I could manage to accomplish.  Older and weaker means I guess I need to fight harder. So for the rest of the week it will be gym every day! BUT OF COURSE THE REAL  CHALLENGE IS TO EAT LESS... and we are going out for pizza tonight.

On another note we just got back from a trip to Inverness and Tampa.  Spent a nice day with my nephew and family.  Then yesterday we spent some time visiting with Pete Lawless (Uncle Petey) in Tampa.  He is dong very well thanks!  Today is warming up after a brief cold spell which has brought some nighttime temps in the 30's.

Ok, I gotta go 'cause Joey is calling me to eat breakfast!
