Yesterday I over did it! I was feeling so good, Devonay wanted to hike, like really get a good hike in. So we meet early in the COLD, FOGGY morning down at the parking lot by the 15/Via Rancho exit. It was cold enough for me to wear my mittens, at least till we warmed up. Now, I haven't been out regularly for the past few months, but I thought I couldn't hurt myself just walking. But on our way up "Huff & Puff", at least that is what my husband calls the hill, I felt this sharp twing behind my knee. We slowed down,"baby steps", Devonay kept saying, but I knew we still had 2 and 1/2 miles to just get back to the cars.
When we got back, I promised to ice it and take it easy...ah! the Tweed's usually don't! And I didn't, as soon as I got home the phone rang, someone offering us firewood, "of course I'd love to come right over and fill my truck up!" So off Steve and I went, well it wasn't split wood, so we had to carry these very large logs and hoist them in the truck. On our way home we swung into Home Depot and rented a log splitter. So now we had to unload the truck, split the logs and stack it in the old chicken coop. Before I knew it, it was time to make dinner.
So to end the day I put my leg up with ice and a few Ibuprofen. It's still tight today, so I didn't get out, big bummer! I think I'll have to stay off it at least one more day and then do some easy stuff, sorry Devonay!
As far as eating, well you stay that busy and you don't have time to eat! But I had a half of an English Muffin with butter and honey, then string cheese after the walk, then a great spinach salad again. Later I got the munchies, I had some almond, only a hand full. Dinner was a small bowl of homemade spaghetti.
Went to bed a bit hungry, but I like that feeling instead of bloated and full feeling!

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!
