The Milestone

Five of them be exact!

Today I got up, dressed comfortably and did five miles at a low brisk pace. According to my walking calculator that took care of about 988 calories. If I could do that twice a week, along with the average 2.5 the rest of the days, I think I should see results sometime by next summer. I know I've put the weight on over about 20 years, so it's going to take a while to take if off, but dang if I'm just not impatient!

Talked to my brother from another mother this morning about my impending visit to New York. I had planned to call him tonight, but he beat me to it. I should have asked him if I am going to need a coat. I don't want to pull another D.C. and leave my coat behind and walk about Toronto freezing my cabezas off. Got spending money, about to get some travel-sized shampoo and soap and will start packing after the laundry has finished. Should be set.

I've been eating all my perishables this week since I will be gone for four days, and today is my last day. I have 3 small apples, 2 tomatoes, a bunch of celery and a half bunch of grapes. Looks like I'm getting my fresh fruit serving for this Thursday.

Note to Michael: Are you still planning on doing the weekend hikes next summer again? I never got to attend one, and I am hoping with what little weight I lose between now and then and with all the walking I am doing I can be in somewhat better shape to handle the walks. I will use vacation time to make it down for a few three-day weekends. And we need to do the salmon!! Get with Smitty and Dave and plan for November!!

Note to Scott: Bald is beautiful, but my skull brother with a clean chin was a bit of a shock. :D I hope everything goes better for the rest of the year. I want you to make A-Kon if you can find the time next year. It's quite the event.
