I walked for a half-hour with Malinda this morning. I walked for 20 minutes tonight with Sadie. I am religiously recording food on weightwatchers.com. I ate pizza for dinner tonight and that was too many points. Otherwise I am doing OK with that system.

I am taking it seriously. I do not want to die young. Or at this point, to die middle-aged! The death of one of my dearest friends, Kit, at age 52 from a heart attack saddened me, but it also shocked me into action, more serious action.
