Slow down there sparky...

     Ok. I have to reevaluate my step goal. I know that 2,000 seems like so few to begin with, but I may or may not have over did it. I am unable to stand for more than a couple of minutes today without the burning pain returning to my stomach. It's all just so frustrating. I just want to run around in circles like a crazed wildebeest, but I can't. See, I had this all figured out: 14,000 steps this week, 16,500 next week and we build up and build up and pretty soon I'm running those circles. No dice.
    I know that there is some lesson in all this. I can only hope that someday I will look back and tell the story of how this period of my life was a ride on the struggle bus and thank God I finally burned up that ticket. Right now, I'm a girl on a couch, with a computer listening to her dogs snore. Right now, I'm thinking that I scale back to 1,500 steps and hope for the best. We can't win them all, but we can keep floating (just like a manatee in a warm ocean, under the stars).
