On My Way!

Hooray! Yesterday was so much better!! Walked 0ver 12,000 steps! Yeah. Really does help when I wear the irratating "UP" band on my wrist with the alarm set on vibrate every hour, motivates me to do something! :))

Lost a couple of lbs., makes me happy even if it is water weight. Weight is weight. Right? :)) ** Note to self~ Still totally pissed at how much I have gained over the last 2 months but I won't go there now, unproductive & unhealthy!

Got my beloved babies (They are my Dachshund brother's; Cowboy & RePete), out for their walk & challenged them to walk a little further than yesterday! Some horrible man called them "Little Fat Boy's," a couple of weeks ago. I was bitter for days, & plotting some type of revenge but eventually decided he was probably right. (He was still horrible!!). Anyhow, if I am losing some unwanted weight, then why not them too? Poor babies!! :))

Made a great salad for lunch! It was really pretty & satisfying. Found an amazing cookbook, "Well-Fed," and am thrilled at the wonderful Paleo advice & guidelines inside! Check it out here if you want: http://theclothesmakethegirl.com/wellfed/

That's all for now.... until next time~ Live Long & Prosper!

They are cute! And extra motivation, when your also doing it for them :) Good luck!!! I too am upset at my recent weight gain, but nothing we can do about that, but to just not let it happen again!!!

if that is how your fur babies look in that picture, they are not "fat boys" they are so adorable!! I know my fur babies are just waiting for the weather to improve so we can get out and walk again. I would love to know more about the "UP" band, I have a fitbit but it doesn't have the reminder alarm on it.

Hi Valerie! Thanks for your kind words, I agree they are not really fat at all. They are such a blessing in my life, fill my days with happiness, always!~ UP by Jawbone is a great band, tracks everything & keeps you accountable, if you wear it! I fight myself everyday deciding whether to wear it or not but those days I do, undoubtable I move more & eat less. (duh!). See website here: https://jawbone.com/up I wear the UP24 Tracker. Setting the alarm to go off frequently reminds me why it is on my wrist, which I like to forget at times... Baby steps. :-)))

I don't think I would have a problem wearing it, I am hooked on my fitbit and miss it when it isn't there. I will have to check out jawbone
