I was down another 0.4 lbs this week which totally surprised me but made me very happy. With a little bit cooler weather happening I have decided I had better get out and get walking. I walked this morning and I have decided that I had better get a better pair of shoes. I am going to have to breakdown and go to a real shoe store and get a really good pair of walking shoes no matter how much they cost. This weekend is the baby shower for my nieces twin girls and there will be lots of food so must plan accordingly. I have to take a macaroni salad so am going to research a lower calorie option.
My clothes are getting looser and looser so definitely will have to buy some new clothes come the fall. I don't even know what size I am but definitely not the size I use to be. I really have to start to do some exercises for my stomach because it is starting to sag because of the loose skin and actually I look gross without any clothes on. Wish I could afford a tummy tuck.

HOT
I was down another 0.4 lbs today. I figure that is very good because I have not been walking at all this last week and probably won't until at least the weekend. Tomorrow it is suppose to be about 44 C with the humidex.
Going to have family for dinner on Saturday night and am planning on having vegetable kebobs and chicken satays. I have learned to love fennel which I do on the bbq in foil with a little balsamic vinegar and sea salt. it becomes almost sweet and has a very faint licorce flavour. It is extremely good.
I have also got my cross stitching bug back which is good because it keeps my hands busy and my mind off food. presently I am working on 2 projects, a Blue Heron and a black and white one called Treasures which is a SAL through the HAED discussion board.
Well must go and drink more water and doing some cross stitching.

Wow long time
wow it has been a long time since I have posted. I am now down 35.8lbs. It has been a long road but am still ejoying the journay. As I sit and watch the tour de france I still think about biking across Canada. I want to do it the year that I am 50 so have 11/2 years to get to my goal weight and get in shape to do the ride. I have been walking a little bit doing about 3.5 miles per day. However, that has gone a little awry because the weather has been extremely hot. If I am to ride across the country I must get use to the hot weather but at the moment can't think of that.
I also have to consider how I am going to afford to take 3 months off work to do the ride. If I won the lottery I won't have second thoughts but the chance of that is slim to none. I also would like at least one other person to ride with me just to help me stay sane and also for security reasons. First things first though as I have at least another 75 pounds to lose. I have also gained some inspiration from a young lady from Georgia who lost over 100 pounds and then went on to win the Miss Georgia title and is going to try for the Miss USA title. She lost her weight the natural way through diet and exercise.
I have been trying lots of new vegetables, I love fennel roasted on the bbq with a little balsamic vinegar done in foil. I also love asparagus grilled on the bbq. It seems to sweeten it up a little bit.
Well I must go to work in this extreme heat.
