I just realized....

That I had not posted yesterday. I spent the day running around doing some house work and laundry mostly. Burn up some calories that way. Laci and I went for a good 30 minute walk around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon.....Walks are much more fun now.....Got her in a regular harness and the pulling hasn't been sooo bad. The downside was we are having some troubles with Laci....She just wants to be difficult about being housetrained!

1. I love my body flaws and all.
2. I AM going to get my butt into shape.
3. I really need to get myself on a regular workout schedule.

A shocking Revelation!

I have been so focused on what the scale says recently that I have completely forgotten about losing inches. Yesterday, while I was out trying on jeans at my favorite store Maurices I learned the "hard" way that I have actually lost enough inches wise to be in a size 9/10 pair of jeans. I still don't like the way my hips/thighs/belly "buldge" all sit while I am wearing my 9/10's but I'm working on it.

Since bringing home Princess Laci in March I have gone from a size 13/14 pair of jeans down to a size 9/10 pair of jeans. I don't know how many of you out there have dogs or know someone who will let you borrow their dog but going for a walk with them for at the very least 25 minutes really does work "wonders" for slimming your lower half. Another thing that has helped me slim down my lower half is my job. I work in a place where I'm pretty much on my feet walking/moving around for 9 out of the 10 hours that I am there on the clock.

Yesterday....

I was reading a weight loss book that I had purchased a couple of years ago and was reading the chapter on walking. After I got done reading the chapter I decided that I was going to try and walk at least once a day. Not only is it good for me but it also helps tone your lower half in the process. After I made my decision I took my walking partner (my dog Laci) out for an afternoon walk. We walked for a good 25 minutes and when I came home and put the information into the "Walking Calculator" on Prevention magazine's webpage and found that I had burned 98.18 calories in just a short 25 minute time frame.

That's Laci in the photo. She likes to sleep flat on her back with her legs straight up in the air. She's a weird one but we love her anyway.
