1.       I think I’ll make my first day yesterday - because my calendar starts weeks then.  Not a great start - Breakfast was mini-wheats and skim milk, chai tea with skim milk.  Lunch was a delightful fried-fish platter at Long John Silver’s!  Dinner was at the Chinese buffet - but I had sushi, oysters, crab legs (no butter), and a small helping of mongolian bbq (mostly veggies).  Then a slice of birthday cake - but a small one.  Not so good on exercise - I managed to trip on Saturday and bump my foot in such a way that I really messed up my left knee.  At least, when walking up stairs, I can’t seem to haul my weight on my left leg.  So I had to go right-left; right-left; right-left.  On the other hand, the massage therapist is helping and I have hopes of healing my arm / neck /shoulder issues.  And, of course, I leave in 2.5 weeks for Germany and the Czech Republic, where I will do LOTS of walking.  So, I hope today is better.
