I took advantage of the nice weather an took my dog for a nice long walk.  It sure didn't feel like January today, but it will in a few days.  In fact it is lighting outside right now, weird.  My husband bought me new tennis shoes today, they have a lot of arch support, which will be good for the boot camp class.  Of course he also took me to lunch, we went to "The Melt" in Mentor.  I was proud of myself, I got a small salad with grilled chicken an berry balsamic dressing on the side.  His lunch was more than eyes could bare, looked good, but so many calories.

I went yesterday for my health assessment at the Health Department.  What a nice set up, everyone was very nice there, willing to help an answer any questions you had.  Not that I liked my numbers, because I did not (big reality check here).  But it does put in the right frame of mind on where I want and need to be.  Keep on moving everyone and drink a lot of water.

I took advantage last night of starting the boot camp work out offered by Lean Living, what a nice work out.  I found muscles that I didn't even remember having.  I'm going to go back again on Saturday if I am able to.  I have my first assessment tomorrow and those numbers are not going to be pretty.  I did walk today on the treadmill at a little slower pace.  It will get better, I am sure.

Still snowing, cold but beautiful.  I walked today listening to Kenny G.  I was grateful that my treadmill is working ok again.  Keeping a dairy of what I'm eating helps me keep on track.

Yesterday was the official day we started with the weigh in, but I did not start until today.  I decided start fresh this morning.  I am going to keep a dairy of everything I eat, it will help me more accountable for my calories.  I also started walking today on my treadmill, I only walked a mile, tomorrow it will be more. Good Luck to everyone participating.

Yesterday I walked 2 miles on the treadmill an listen to Simon & Garfunkel.  Today as I was listening to Godspell while I was walking, my treadmill decided to stop.  I only got a mile in.  Hopefully it will work tomorrow.  Stay warm everyone, right now it is only 9 degress outside.
