We had really high winds yesterday in Dallas. I stepped out of my car and a big gust of wind caught me. It made be back up two steps! Now, a gust of wind can't really blow a 154 pound person "away", but it moved me back some. That would have never happened 99 pounds ago!

Also, I have jury duty on Monday. They don't have enough chairs there, and my husband told me to take one our our folding "chairs in a bag" to sit on. I smiled when he said it, and he asked what I was smiling for. I told him I realized I could sit in one of those "chairs in a bag" and not worry about having it collapse under me. He gave me a big hug - we both celebrated it.

And, today, I went to my PCP. She took me off the last of my blood pressure meds! NO MORE BLOOD PRESSURE PILLS!:D

Yahoo! No more meds for you! How exciting. . . I understand the wind issue! Had the same wind here in San Antonio, yup makes you really have to fight against it if your walking! Wait til a fridge door won't open right away cause the pressure has it stuck a bit and lifts you off the floor a bit. . that is really weird! Love the chair in a bag story!

Congrats! I know what you mean about the chairs - I've ripped more than one of those things up in the past. The cheapy vinyl plastic chairs always scared me too, not only have I broken a few of them but they stuck on my butt when I got up! No more!

I had this same experience in Bryan/College Station yesterday. I wore heels for the first time in a long time and it really took extra balance not to fall over! I loved it though!;)
