Monday-Funday!

After the husband came home from a day of golfing, proclaiming he is *never playing again* (it's frustrating to play poorly), we laced up our shoes, snuck out the other side of the house (the little kids would have wanted to come, but Ty agreed to watch them) through the little garage, & headed off for a brisk walk.

My lower back isn't always cooperative, but we wound up walking 1.8 miles anyway. I hate not knowing distances, so when we got home I loaded up my cranky kids (apparently they noticed we'd left & didn't like it very much) in the car & drove the route we took.

After our short trip around the block (& me realizing how truly spoiled I am... I didn't realize how far that walk felt until I drove it in no time flat) I drove the kids over to McDonald's & bought them each a sundae. It's something we rarely do, but they love it & I felt like showing myself I didn't really want what they were having, or anything else there, & could just as easily do without.

That mission was accomplished! Baby steps...

In all, I walked &/or glided about 2.5 miles yesterday! If it's not at Disneyland (with a stop at every third booth for a caramel apple, or cotton candy, or other things of the like), that's a lot of extra walking for me.

I'm excited to get started with the HCG so I can begin to see some results! Once I get that going I'll start posting my weigh-ins daily. (gah! I'm *so* not looking forward to sharing my actual weight with anyone!!)
