Whoo Hoo! I'm walking again! Steve and I walked, fast, 2 miles this evening down at Lake Hodges. What a pretty time to walk, the sun had already set, the birds where making there way to shore. As it got darker and darker the water looked black, yet you could see the glistening V shaped trails of the ducks paddling toward home. There are still tons of sea gulls that are staying on the lake, they came after the big rains around Christmas and haven't left. Must be some good eats on the lake!
Speaking of eats; here is my intake for the day!
Breakfast -1 fried egg, 1 slice of bacon and 1/2 english muffin
Lunch - Ugh! I didn't get one, but I ate a small snack pack of raw nuts and dried cranberries.
Snack - 10 potato chips
Dinner - Large spinach and lettuce salad with tomatoes, monterey jack cheese, cranberries and pine nuts with a raspberry dressing.
I did drink tons of water as well!
I forgot to add, this morning while making parts for Steve, I once again used the time wisely and did all kinds of exercises. Now mind you I have to be creative, there is only about 3 feet at best between the machines I'm working on so I create some interesting exercises. Thank goodness no one is watching me, I'm sure they would think I'd lost my mind! I also did some tummy work, that is sit-ups for those of you that want to work that area!!
Tomorrow will be two weeks, stay tuned for my new weight and measurements!!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
