FINISHED!

Today I finished my March goal of 100 miles. AWESOME! I am very pleased. I was hoping to walk further today, but it was very blustery and cold and there was "wildlife" on the path. We turned around and finished the last mile in the neighborhood.

Tonight is John Adams and the start of the second season of the Tudors. Fun! I am very happy that the Office starts again this week. Also, three more episodes of the Biggest Loser. Big tv week! Which is funny because we really don't watch that much. Usually we watch netflix.

I need to finalize my April workout plans. I will keep you posted.

clean house

I have really neglected the dust. I never realized how much dust there was...I guess it was hiding in the carpet. Now it shows on the floor, so I need to swiffer more often!

Tomorrow is doggie door day! And it is supposed to rain and maybe snow...perfect. Can't we have nice weather and no more wind? I am ready.

Only 14 more miles and 5 days to do it in. Whoohoooo!! I am so happy I have almost made my goal. It was close for a while.

Back to pointing...

I just can't lose weight if I don't count points. I guess that is just what works for me. I am back to pointing, as Mary calls it. As of today. 8 points so far. Cereal, snack, lunch. I am aiming for 22 points a day I guess.

I am also super happy to report that unless I break my leg, I will get my 100 miles in for March!! Mostly because Tim had a three-day weekend so we walked 24 miles together. I couldn't have done it with out that. Now I just need about 3 a day for the rest of the month. But I will do as many as possible just to see.

We are thinking of getting a new deck. The guys are coming Wednesday to look and estimate and such. We want a trex deck with a roof all along the back of the house. And lower, so we don't need railings. Also, Thursday we are getting a real doggie door. I am so looking forward to that. The old one we have makes it very tough to use the back door. And I want to be able to use it instead of going around the garage!

March 18th...

I am a little worried about getting all 100 miles in, but I think I can do it. I can't take any more days off though. I had to take a day off last week, but no more.

Yesterday was an awesome 5 miles in the chilly, but no wind afternoon. I really enjoyed it and I had the path all to myself as it was only 34 degrees.

Tonight we are starting the Maddie walks after dinner as it should be light enough. I am really looking forward to that!

Weights!

I lifted! I am pretty weak, but at least I am back to working at the problem. It felt great, even.

This afternoon it was close to 70 degrees, so I took Maddie out for a 3 mile walk. There were at least one million dogs and kids out today. Everyone wanted to pet Maddie. She is just so darn cute!

Pokey Puppy

Today was beautiful, so after advanced pilates (which I SUCKED at) I took Maddie out for her now daily walk. We went 0.96 miles in over 20 minutes. It was painful it was so slow. She was tired from yesterday I guess, or just pokey. I don't know, but I had to circle back home to drop her off. It was a loooong, slow almost mile.

After I left her home I walked the rest of the 5 miles in about 55 minutes. I was very pleased with that.

Tomorrow is regular pilates and then lifting. And tomorrow afternoon I am riding with the bike class.....so excited!!! I will let you know how it goes.

#150

This is my 150th post.

Today we slept late and enjoyed a lazy Sunday morning. Then we had sushi and took a long walk with Maddie. So far it has been a perfect spring forward day.

My blisters are so much better since I popped them. That was so gross and so worth it.

This week I am back to pump classes twice a week and excited to get back to the weights. I have to pace myself, but am really looking forward to the challenge!

Saturday

Tim, Maddie and I walked to our new liquor store today. It was a nice walk. 1.1 miles there and then we walked around our neighborhood for a total of 3 miles.

We have an agreement that once daylight savings begins we will walk Maddie every evening, so that starts tomorrow. Maddie needs it. She is pokey. But at least I didn't have to carry her on today's walk. (it is hard carrying a 27 pound beagle.)

day 2

BNP is going very well. I just need to find something on from 10 - 11 that isn't 'The Price is Right.' That show is too slow.

I do have blisters on top of my blisters, tho. That is sad. I took so much time off from exercise that my feet lost all of the protective calluses. (Hi Mary!! I am talking about feet! Still reading??) So yesterday I got little blisters and then today I got big blisters on top of my little blisters. I hope my feet toughen up quickly.

Tomorrow is the county convention that I get to go to as a delegate. I am super excited, but also dreading it a little. I hope it is fun and interesting and not long and boring.

I just ate a super yummy salad that I made...broccoli slaw, salmon and sesame ginger dressing. So good. Now I am eating a tortilla with almond butter. Today's big project it to swiffer the new floor! Fun.

Big New Plan!

The floor is finished. The trip to Peru was awesome. Blah, blah, blah.

I just haven't been in an update-y mood. But I have exciting news to share with the internets, so I am back!

I am going to get off my butt!!! YEAH!!

I am going to walk/jog/run 100 miles in March! See! I added the little ticker guy up top. Cool, eh?

So! Here is the BNP: Walk every day for the rest of March. Run/Jog a little so I can get back to running 5ks. I want to do the Highline Canal run again this year in May.

I am also doing pilates and want to go back to pump.

I decided that I just need a new goal. I have big goals - like fitting into things by summer and such, but I need little goals for along the way. Last year I had tons of goals and races to plan for, this year I need something.

So! That's it...100 miles in March. Starting today!!!
