Morning walk - July 7, 2009

I got up at 6:30am this morning and went over to Palmer Park for a walk. David's back was bothering him so decided not to go today. There were a lot of people up there when I arrived at 7am. I did my usual 40 minute walk. To make it interesting I go different ways on the trails. There are little off shoots of the main trail. I've only taken one of them so far. I may try a couple of them in the near future.


It was cool up there this morning but it was getting hot fast. I'm glad I got up there early. David and I decided to do stuff around the house today (yard work and laundry) instead of going for another drive. I think we both are tired (and old lol) and will not be going on any other long adventures this week. We still might go up to the Zoo but that's about as exciting as it will get.

I'm doing my best to walk 5-6 times a week for 40 minutes a day. So far, so good. I still don't feel like I've lost any weight. I want to weigh myself but I'm doing my best to stay away from the scale. I'm sure that it's my eating that's causing me to maintain my weight. I'm still getting too many carbs I think. I did get some cut up fruit the other day and have been eating that each day. It's been really good. I'm still at a loss for dinner though. I can seem to manage breakfast and lunch but by dinner I have no ideas left. I know that will work itself out eventually so I'm not stressing about it.

I was going to ask David to go for a walk this evening but I think he's pretty tired and sore from working in the yard all day. It's almost 6pm and he's still out there. He's been at it about 6 hours. Yikes! I sat outside with him a few times when he took breaks. The view from our pocth is beautiful.



It looks like David is picking up all the yard tools and getting set to head into the house. I'm still working on laundry though. I have 4 loads of laundry to do today (one more to go). I don't know that I'll get it done today. There's always tomorrow.

It's supposed to be hot tomorrow (near 90 degrees) so I'll need to get out and walk early again.
