Getting my walk on.....and getting proof!

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

I woke up this morning a little after 9:30 and laid in bed reading until after noon.  I thought I might go up to church and help set up the Rummage Sale, but ultimately, I didn't.  I did the few dishes that Ron and I used yesterday, using the Deep Dutch-Oven type cast iron skillet as my sink.  Then I started making the "Melted Witch" goodies that I am making for the bake sale at the Rummage Sale.  It's gonna take a couple of days to get these finished, so I need to get started on them.  They involve melting candy melts, melting chocolate, setting icing, and other stuff like that, as well as assembling everything.  They are gonna look so cool when done!

I had a can of my chicken salad with a serving of walnuts for my lunch, and I played on the pute for a bit, then I did my little exercise repertoire, trying to get it all done by 3:30, so if Ron got off early again, I'd be ready to take off walking to meet him.  I got done with 5 minutes to spare!  WhooHoo!
I wasn't quite ready when he texted, but quickly got my shoes on and took off walking - yes, in the rain - after getting my walking stick and umbrella out of my car.  I met him on Hoover Road, not far of course, and he gave me hell for walking in "this crap."  But it was just rain, nothing worse.

After we got home, we watched more Quantum Leap, because he sure couldn't go out into the garage and work, not with it being so damp and all.  At quarter til six, I went to take a shower and get ready to go to my TOPS meeting.  I gave him a couple of options for supper - he likes to have it ready when I get home, just because we eat so late on Tuesdays - and hit the road at 6:30, as usual.
When I got to my meeting and weighed in (which I was dreading, because I had gained Saturday morning), I was very pleased to find out that I have lost 2-1/2 pounds!  <happy dance>  Oh, what a relief!  Not sure if it was all the walking on Saturday, or all the PT exercises, or a good mix of both, but I am very, very happy with those results!

I got home and found that Ron had made our little Spam casserole (Spam in macaroni-n-cheese) for our supper.  It was just done, and very hot, and so was very tasty.  That was good, because I was hungry!
When I put my food and exercise in MFP, I was ~50 calories short for the day, too.  Yay, me.  I can handle days like this!  All day, every day....please.
