A Brand New Start

    It has been a glorious week filled with sunshine and Spring like atmosphere . Everywhere I looked , I saw people outside jogging , taking walks with their children , playing sports and just simply enjoying themselves . That's what Spring brings ....a renewed hope , a new beginning , a brand new start .
    While waiting for Emily , I observed a woman walking around her office building over and over again . She has been out everyday this week . It is  almost Spring  and don't we all think about our diets then ?  It made me smile because I could so relate to her . How many times have I experienced this " brand new start " .
     After my chemo celebration , I saw some pictures of myself in some unflattering angles . My first instinct was to get myself into shape . Yes , starting tomorrow , a strict regiment . A brand new start .......again .
      Sitting down , I'm  making a mental list of all the changes I will make in my daily routine . Funny thing , though , these are the things I'm already doing . It made me realize that I'm doing everything I can already . I'm eating fruits and vegetables .Eating fish and almost no meat at all . Gave up pop ,  drinking water and tea  on a regular basis . I do sit ups at least three to four times a week . I watch people at work snacking on chips and candy . I snack on carrots and apples. Still I don't lose weight .
   What else should I do ? Maybe a brand new start for me would be to just give up food  period . Just joking .
