Day 7 & 8
Still going strong! Sunday: Did 13,174 steps! Did a lot of cleaning and also 45 min walk the dog and 50 jumping jacks. Food was coffee, Cheerios, 1% milk, 2 slices double fiber bread, 5 fish sticks, mixed veggies, 2 blueberry waffles, sugar free jelly, fat free yogurt, and an orange. Low end of points range for the day. Monday: 10,222 steps (8 for 8!) 10 leg lifts, 50 jumping jacks, walk the dog 36 min. Relaxed a little and watched a movie and read. Food was good: coffee, soup, oatmeal, peanuts. Low end of points range again. Need to get to the store as almost out of fruits and veggies. I did get to the YMCA this AM for my workout! I am almost at 8000 steps today so far, so no problem. Big news! I tried on my size 12 pants last night, just for the heck of it. Both fit! Well, I got them on, buttoned and zipped. Due to tightness, want to lose a few more pounds before I actually wear them. My cheapy pair of black workout pants that I wore today to the Y are almost too big. They are elastic waistband and I have to keep pulling them up. Yeah! I may just go and order a couple of pairs of size 12 pants from Lands End. By the time they get here, I should be able to wear them. Yeah!

Wow what a fantastic step count! Order some new shoes too, you must be wearing them out! And size 12\'s...YES! LOL at the pants snatching...nice problem tho!
How is Kona doing? You are walking her so I am guessing all is well with her.
Kona is ok. Not sure if side affect of the antibiotics is lethargy. But not so much that I am worried. She is just snuggling with me more. She may still be feeling bad though. I am still smelly a \"fishy\" smell. Possible discharge or whatever from bladder infection? But I was waiting for this to clear up a little and then give stink butt a bath. But she is not pee-peeing all the time like before, so that is good.
You know, I love you guys, BTW. I am sitting here smiling. Yes, actually feeling pretty darn good today. Almost feel like bumping my smiley face up to dark green! I changed my approach/mind set. Seems to be working so far. I think looking months ahead was just too far and too frustrating. So far, \"45 days\" seems to be working.
Now, if I could just catch a break at work, I WOULD change my smiley face to dark green!
HOORAY! You\'re doing awsome sweetie. I wish you lived closer to me so that we could walk together and motivate each other. I\'ve been so idle and blah. I know I need to workout again, but it\'s so hard to make it a habit when I have to be self motivating.
How is David after the bike accident. I hope he is back to his \"normal\" self. =c)
Hugs and blessing to you sweetie. I\'m so sorry I haven\'t been on as much to support your awsome motivation and excersicing goal. I\'ve been running a bit crazy. You\'d think I would lose wieght just doing that. lol.
