Your suggestions help so much. I have come up with a plan for exercising - I commute to work in the city and now the dog only has me to walk him (H used to in the evenings) so I have to be careful about getting home in time for him (tho H would probably walk him in the evening if I asked and definitely in an emergency - but I don't want to call on him for anything). So I'd been trying to figure out how on earth I can join a gym and work out in the city, etc., when I realized that if I stick to working at home 2 days a week, as we can do in my office, that adds up to, inclduing the weekend, 4 days during the week that I have available to work out at home - duh! Guess I was probably looking for excuses not to be able to. So I'll work at home on Tue and Fri, and work out to start at least on Sun, Tue and Fri, and make sure to walk to and from the train station in the city on the days I go in. And on Mondays I don't have to do anything I don't want to. And today I certainly fell off the wagon I haven't even climbed onto yet - came home this evening and H had moved out most of his boxes. I turned right around and left the house and went to my favorite Chinese restaurant and pigged out. BUT - at least I went to the store afterward and bought some fruit. (okay, okay - and some pound cake, too....tomorrow's another day).
Linda - thanks for the encouragement. Funny - I have a really good friend who has been helping me through this named Linda, too. I am so thankful for everyone on this board!
