Spring in El Paso TX…

I don’t know where you are right now, but here in El Paso TX it is beautiful. 85 degrees, sunny, humidity just right, and there is a slight breeze with Spring in the air. What a wonderful change from the last two weeks in snow, ice, zero temps and darkness.

And for those two weeks, I’ve been “stuck” in the truck. I’ve gotten little or no exercise. And I can feel it. With all my watching what I eat, I took off my clothes yesterday to shower and – damn it all – I’ve actually GAINED weight. I don’t need a scale to know it. I’m afraid to take my blood pressure.

I’ve been in sweats and now that I can put on shorts again, even with an elastic waist, they are snug. It is very discouraging. The only thing that is keeping from getting really depressed is the weather.
