I took a ride out to the woods where we'll be walking tomorrow....WOW!!! It is really beautiful there....and the houses nearby are beautiful.  It should be a nice walk but I still haven't decided on which of the 3 dogs will be going. Copper is just not acting his usual happy self...but the other two are such a pain to bring along.  I'll have to see in the morning if C-dog is willing to go with...otherwise, I'm bringing Skip.
The chiropractic visit went well today...can't believe how much of a difference even an adjustment is when I'm not as heavy as before.  He gave me some exercises for my shoulder...hopefully that will help build strength back...but I do feel 100% better than I did 2 weeks ago....yaaay!!
I spent $$$ today....ugh!!  But I will justify that it was for a pedometer, yoga/pilates mat and handweights...oh yeah, and also a reflective belt thingie to carry all my stuff while walking.  It was either buy one of those, or load up the dog's backpack...which he doesn't appreciate.
Things aren't going so well as far as eating these last few days....I am going to have to decide if I'm stress-eating or just bored.  Well, lots to do the rest of the day....I couldn't get too many others to take the walk tomorrow, too bad....it's gonna be a beautiful day and it is a gorgeous path that we are walking.  That's all for now.

I'm getting prepared for the 5K Walk in Fullersburg Woods this Saturday. I hope I can get a better time than the last 5K I was in.  I will blame the lousy time on Copper, my four-legged walking compainion since he made several stops at trees along the way.  Not sure that walking through a forest preserve full of trees is going to be such a good idea!! LOL!!
We'll see what happens....
I've been keeping up with walking and working out lately....amazing how the weight will come off with a bit of effort on my part.
Things are going pretty good in the love-life category...but I will reserve comment on that.
Until later...........

Well, it's about time that I should write in this part of my profile/blog.

Currently I have lost 69lbs.....I'm still about 40lbs from goal weight, but I have started walking regularly several times a week (almost every day).  I'm up to about 5miles on a really good day....now that I have invested in some quality walking shoes (Ryka ?? I think that's the brand name....Ladies, they are made for the shape of women's feet....fantastic fit, very comfortable..highly recommended) hopefully 5miles will be the norm...and I'd like to eventually start jogging intermittently or get up to a 8mile walk.
It's nice to have set some goals finally!!!
