What a fantastic day for a morning hike. Clear skies, semi-warm and a nice breeze. Devonay and I hiked from the Blue Sky Reserve parking lot, took about 45 minutes to get to the top, keeping a good pace the whole way. But, man oh man that last hill is a grunt. We kept hiking around the lake a bit, looking for shade to sit in, finally just plunked down on the trail. We both ate our apples and enjoyed the view. It is so quiet up there, I love the stillness.
Coming down I took it easy, after my experience on Mt. Woodson, I didn't want to knock myself out. Along with sore thigh muscles from doing a bunch of squats and lunges the day before, I knew my limits. Taking me a bit to realize just how hard I can push this old body.
The rest of the day was spent sitting in front of the computer. Blah! But this evening after going out to dinner I went by the Iceoplex and photographed our kids from school playing broomball. I'm sure I loooked quite funny out on the ice dressed and in high heels. Couple of times I had to yell out "Don't hit me!, I'm in high heels!" My feet took a bit to thaw out, but I'm warmed up enough now to hit the sack....Good Night!
Breakfast
1 lean sausage
1 scrambled egg
water
Lunch
turkey slice, cheese slice and some peperoni slices
Dinner
Wonderful creamy asparagus Thai soup and a wonderful green salad with feta cheese.
Snack during the day
1 cheddar cheese stick and some dried fruit. Also ate about 8 gummy bears.

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!
