That's great!

Called my surgeon's office and spoke with a nurse. She said I could do sit-ups, but that I should start small, like with 20 a day (yeah right. How about 200!). She said I wouldn't tear my mesh, so that's good. She said that my fifty pound weight gain is probably from not exercising for almost a year. Gotta whip this body back into shape! No problem. 😊 Especially now that my mind is at ease about my hernia. I'm happy I called.

Went out for lunch with husband. Well, I ate before we left and just had three diet cokes but my husband got food and I have to say it looked delicious! Much better than my plain baked potato and cup of watermelon I had beforehand. But I must stick to the diet.

I'm making more progress with my novel planning!

Just took my afternoon anti-anxiety pills. Hoping they make me sleepy so I can get some rest. If not, I may have no choice but to take a stupid seroquel. I'm going up and up and UP. My husband commented on it. He said, "You're getting manic. I can tell because you're not sleeping, excited and inspired."

I'll be fine though. 🙂 No problems. I want to fly.
