July 4th and the Journey Continues

So I made it through the 4th of July and a picnic.  I didn't have any alcohol but I did eat one cupcake and a spoonful of cheesy potatoes, otherwise I did pretty well on the plan.  I got on the scale this morning and I cracked another decade on the way down.  So far I have lost over 20 pounds which is amazing.  This is the smallest weight that I have been in a while, probably about 15 years.  I need to continue this journey.  The place where I am still struggling is with exercise.  It seems that everyone is running now, but I don't think that my knees can handle it.  So I am walking, swimming and I want to get my bike out and try doing that.  Those are all things that I enjoy doing.  I took a long walk yesterday and plan to walk or ride my bike today after cleaning the house.  Exercise is my focus for now.  I seem to be eating okay, although I am still looking at the new plan and thinking about switching.  If I do switch, I need to invest in a good blender.
