Morning Fog is beautiful!


Sunday morning I hiked up Highland Trail before going to church. I wanted to beat the heat of the day, but got something even better. The low foggy clouds where hanging along the mountain, you couldn't see the top. I'm always a bit nervous hiking that trail alone, not many people hike it and it is very steep, if I should slip and hurt myself, it might be a while before another hiker comes by,(I do carry my cell phone with me). I also don't want to run into any large wildlife that is hungry! Yikes! I wasin luck, a group of hikers where preparing to go up just as I arrived, so I took off just before them and then knew I had people on the trail with me! ;-D
Anyway it was cool, damp and beautiful going up the Mt. The foggy was so thick you couldn't see very far, but it made it really quiet. Up near the top, it was misting and all the spider webs where making beautiful designs. I stopped and looked at them, each one had it's own pattern, so beautiful.

Anyone that wants to walk with me, CALL ME!

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!
