Cold Snap

It's 75 degrees here this morning! That's positively frigid for us. Lowest temperature we've had since May or there abouts.

This means that I can postpone my walking no longer. I need to get fit, not fat. Wish me luck. I need to walk from here to Detroit to get the poundage off. Off, I say...

The lovely self-photo is from Saturday on the boat. I just wanted you to see how truly much I need rehab.
Lola needs to go to groomer. We're having missionaries for dinner. (Do you remember my joke on this from earlier posts? If not you'll probably not see the humor.) I am making chocolate chip cookies for dessert. That should off set that walk. Sigh!

Things I'm grateful for today: that the boys had a good first day of K, that it's cooling off here so I can walk, good books I can get lost in, good friends like you. For what are you grateful?

Well best wishes on starting your walking! I have to do the same. I hate treadmills & running but walking makes me very happy & it's lower impact but just as effective. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather! I hope the dinner goes good!! That dessert sounds yummy! I'm grateful for my family! =)

That I can come here and know another human being "gets me"! Thank you..and yes, I need to walk as well. Going camping this week-end so maybe I'll get a run in..but probably only if a bear is chasing me!

I've managed to walk a couple of days each week but it isn't really helping, just merely gets me out of the house.

I am grateful for beautiful fall days!

Grateful for: rocky road ice cream on a warm day, a flattering new haircut, and a boyfriend that just gets me (even on my worst days)

I'm also on the "get fit, not fat" program. Let's make some walking goals together, and report to each other (daily? weekly?)... what do you say? :)
