Still out there in the hills, when possible

Hope and Lee joined me on Friday for a hike into Blue Sky Reserve. The wild flowers are there, but not as spectacular as last year after the fire. We went half way up to the Ramona Dam, but none of where up to going the whole way. I have been sick for 2 and a half weeks, some sort of cold that just won't let go. I'm dying to get out and do some good hikes, my body just doesn't want to do it. Sunday evening LaVonne and I did a nice 4 and 1/2 mile hike up at Daly Ranch, probably would not have done as long and hard a hike, except we sort of got lost. It was all good, luckily we ran into a ranger that pointed us in the right direction.

For those of you wondering, my weight has sort of stabilized at the 20 lbs off. I still want to loose some more, but having been sick sort of slowed the process. Even though I'm not loosing weight, I'm still seeing my size getting smaller, I have gone down 4 sizes in my pant size. I even had to go out and buy new undies, they where to big. How cool is that! Hope and I went to the thrift store the other day and I stocked up on some shorts and work out pants.

Today's Eats
Breakfast- 1/2 cup granola with strawberries and blueberries and soy milk
Lunch - Fiesta Salad at Rubio's
Snack - 2 large chocolate chip cookies (and me bad-1 bag of peanut M&Ms)
Dinner- 1 chicken thigh and a slice of zucchini pie

Well I'm off to bed, but before I go, to make up for the M&Ms, I'm going to do 40 more sit-ups!!

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!
