Early Morning Hike Between Rain Showers

This morning Steve joined Devoany and I on one of our hikes. We didn't do a long hard one, just one to get the blood pumping before a day spent at the computer. Lucky for us the air was crisp, the puddles were manageable. We had a few really light sprinkles, but other than that it was awesome. We could see the snow on the mountains and big dark clouds off in the distance, but where we were was pleasant. We hiked up to the top of Raptor Ridge, not to long of a hike about 3 miles total. On our way down the steeper part near the top, Nari suddenly jumped back from near the edge of the trail, she had been in a rocky outcrop, I thought she was jumping back from a snake, she has done that before, but on further, quick examination, I realized that she had put her nose in to a large bee hive. When I got her away from it, there was still a bee on her neck, but it didn't get through her fur to sting her. She may have gotten stung on her face, but so far I don't see any evidence of it.

Steve and I had a good breakfast before leaving, had scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese melted on top served with salsa and some lean sausages. After coming home I had 2 tangerines and then a small handful of nuts. That is where I'm at now writing, so stay tuned, have a blessed day!

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!
