Well, the weekend is here and we'll see how I fair.  The household is going to start a diet with me as so my calorie intake should now be controlled.  I have no idea what I am doing with all of this, it scares me.  I certianly dont want to spend moeny for useless advice, guess I need to start reading up on what I should and shouldn't be doing.  Right  now, I am just determined, like a horny goat tied up.  I will keep the walking and swimming and limiting what I put in my mouth till I get a more defined plan for the calorie intake and excerise.  The pains are getting smaller on backs of my lower legs and I dont have as much back pain, so something is at least starting to work.
