Hi Rosebud, thanks for the link. Malcolm has given me some advice and if you would visit me next week at my new journal (thanks to your link ), when I have had a chance to put into practice what he has suggested, I'd really appreciate it. I don't think I've been eating enough to sustain the increase in exercise and might be in that starvation, keep all the weight you can mode. We'll see, over the next week. Thanks for the help. All the best to you. Catdog.
