 TERRY

As I write Terry is sleeping and it is 10:15.  She is doing OK but the story goes like this for the day!

I woke to the gentle voice of Terry at 3:15 AM.  She needed some help so I got up and did what needed to be done.  Then at 5:15 the voice came again with a request for some help.  Well we took care of her needs but by the time I settled into bed again it was 5:30 or so and I said to myself, "I need to get up for 7:30 tennis today.  Why can it not be 10:30!!!  I did not need my alarm as I lie awake for some time and finally got up for the day.  I say that because there may need to be a DOWN time later as my energy fades!!!

I am hoping Terry sleeps for a while now and with the TV on there may be enough noise that she just stays sleeping for some time.  I do hope that is the case.

I did play tennis at 7:30 this morning and actually I felt that I did OK with the sleep that I had.  Gerg and I lost the first set 3-5 after being down 0-5.  I think it was 3 but it may have been 2!  Then we went on to play well in set 2 but came out on the short end as time ran out.  Such is my day so far!

Terry requested a hard roll with ham on for lunch.  I have the ham but will need to go get some hard rolls at the grocery store. 

I do have some new concerns about Terry.  I actually have no certain things so can not really say "why" but my spirit says that I am concerned as things go forward.

At 7:30 this morning the temp was perfect for tennis.  The temp is supposed to get up to 79 by mid afternoon so it will be a great weather day in Naples today.

I waited to step on the scale today until after tennis and was happy about what I saw.  I was down 1.2 pounds so as of today I am carrying about 5 pounds less than several days ago.  I need to keep it going.  Travis and I e-mail each day to report so that is actually a good thing as it gives one extra incentive to stay the course.  I did not make my goal for the end of January but what the heck we are now into a new month and maybe I can/will do better.

No, as Terry sleeps I may just jump into the car and get those hard rolls for sandwiches at lunch time.  

By the way as I weighed myself this morning I looked down at the number and was happy.  Then I looked in the mirror and thought, 'Carmen you have a LONG way to go!"  Playing tennis is a good way to help in the weight loss.

BUT no tennis for tomorrow so I may have to get on the bike.  No need to decide between the big bike and little bike like on the farm as there is only one in the garage!

So here it is past 10:30 and time to sign off.  There is some dirty clothes to take care of.  Some dirty dishes to take care of.  And some ordering to do in the house so will get to it with a smile on my face as the FP was a push in the right direction this morning.
