Still Going!

Tuesday already! Cade goes back to school on Wednesday. I will miss our carefree days but it will be nice to get back in a routine! I love having the kids around and will really miss Kelsey when she goes back to college on the 10th.

I am still walking about 35-50 minutes a day. I have tried to talk myself out of it everyday! We are having very cold weather for us. Highs in the low 30's. My feet hurt so bad when I first start walking, I feel like I will have to crawl to the house! But, once I get going I am ok. I have a blister on my heel that Mr. Paramdeic is dying to get a whole of but I'm not letting him. I don't want to go out and buy new walking shoes until I see if I will keep it up! Yes, I have started and stopped many, many times! I'm also trying to cut down on my portions at supper and eat a healthy breakfast and lunch! Any healthy lunch ideas would be appreciated very much!

Today, we are going out for breakfast and spending the day with Cade. There is a chance of snow here thursday! That would be so great!

Here is Cade fooling around with the cake that I made for New Years Eve. He's not really that close to it. Silly Boy! Thanks for reading!

Walking in Sunshine!

I actually got out and walked Saturday! It was a beautiful sunny day. But, at 11:00 it was still 26% outside. Now, that might not be cold to some of ya'll but it was to me! I didnt let that stop me though! Thank the Good Lord that we live way back in the woods and none of my children were interested enough to get a camera! I looked a mess! Picture this (unless you have a weak stomach) I was wearing some old faded walking pants (atleast 2 sizes too small) an awlful looking jog bra (again way too small) over the bra I wore one of Andy's old thermal shirts (atleast it fit) I have a huge bright green coat that I wore and a raggedy old black stocking cap that smells like my son's four-wheeler! When I stepped outside the dogs barked at me! Lucky for me, my walking "track" is the pasture behind my house, the kids have rode 4-wheelers on it so much there is a nice beaten down trail to walk on, AND it is very private! Which is a very good thing because I had to take a quick bathroom break!!! Like I said, it was a very pretty day and once I started moving I warmed up pretty fast! I walked for about 45 minutes. I had to stop a few times because I don't know how to use my "new" ipod. Kelsey got a new one for Christmas so she gave me her old one...I probably should have stuck with my trusty old simple one.

I was proud that I got out and did my thing. I had housework that needed doing and a quilt that needs to be put together. I am glad that I was able to drop those things and do something for myself! Though I did spend sometime thinking about what all needed to be done! I don't know if I will walk Sunday or not, we stay so busy on Sundays, plus Andy is at the Fire Dept. and it is my son Joey's 18 birthday! I really need to work at get faster because my little old dog Brick walked in front of me most of the time, I couldnt pass him, so I had a wonderful view of his little behind the whole time!!
Have a WONDERFUL day! and Thanks for reading!
