Time to get moving again!

I've had too many good books from the library lately, I haven't been out walking much. I guess I could get some books on CD for my ipod. The weather has been very hot in the afternoon when I have time to go. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to get up before Chad goes to work and walk for about 2 miles. If that doesn't work, I'm getting Izzy out of bed and taking her for a long bike ride in the morning! I need to get moving!

I need some good healthy recipes! We are cooking at home a lot more lately and something other than "meat and potatoes" is needed. Plus, I need to cut back on the fatty, fried foods so that when we hit the State Fair next week, I won't feel too bad about all of the junk food!

Mom - I hope you are doing better than I am this week :)

Snack Shack

I've been working on the snack attack. Actually, it's going fairly well since watermelon and cantalope is in season. Keeping the fridge stocked with the fruits is a help. Off to Green Farms again today. I'm allowing myself one Skinny Minny fudge pop after 9:00 pm. (I love those things!!! and only 50 calories.) Still working on portion control here.

Good Job, Daughter

Hey...four pounds is great! I'm doing my weighing on Sundays, so hopefully, I will have something to post! Portion, portion, portion!

Buttox Humiliation...

Well, there they are for the whole world to see! I can only say...yikes!

I did my two miles tonight (notice the neat weekly walk-o-meter I managed to add all by myself!) I will have to change my strategy, however. My plan was to do a mile and half, swing by the house and pick D-Dog up for the rest. He knows as soon as I get my shoes, it's time for a walk. I left for my faster-paced walk, and apparently he just went from door to door crying and whining. So, tomorrow, I will take him first, drop him off and continue onward. We'll see how that goes. Really, really trying to portion control discipline. My worst time is between 9 and 10 at night.

Buns on a roll...

Again, following the theory that public humiliation is a good motivator for an action, here's hoping that when we reach our goals that our butts will be smaller!

Work it! Work it!

You're On...

Well, Daughter

Ten miles is a good challenge for this week. I was going to wait until Monday to start, but today is as good as any. D-Dog can use the exercise too!

I think it's nice to do something together for a change, since we haven't had the opportunity since you moved...and moved...and moved...and, well, you get the picture!

Actually, I haven't been motivated in awhile; not sure what the problem is. I think retirement is making me a bit complacent, so I'm glad for the opportunity.

As soon as I figure out the little ticker thing, I'll add mine.

Entry 1 - Wish us luck

Nothing like going public as a motivator.

This blog will serve as a tracker as mom and I get prepared for a family wedding. We have until May 16th to get fit. Well, probably a bit earlier than that if you count dress fittings, but at least it's easier to take in a dress than let it out!

I'm not above issuing a challenge to my mom... I say I can walk 10 miles in the next 7 days. Can you do more?
