Hiking in rain!!

I took both the kids hiking today with my son's cubscout troop. It was fun, even though the whole time it was raining. We went to China Camp State Park, in San Rafael, CA. The trail we went on was beautiful!! It's a great way to get exercise, but I didn't walk at a fast pace. I read somewhere that walking at a slow pace burns more calories then walking at a fast pace. I have no idea how many calories I burned today. In total, the hike was close to a mile roundtrip. I want to go agin, with a friend, and follow the trail longer.

As for loosing weight: no change in lbs from last week. Could be the time of the month , or could be I didn't work out hard enough. OR it could be that I'm still not picking the right foods to eat daily. Oh well, there's still 10 more weeks for me to loose weight in the challenge.

Before and After Exercise: Part 2

Whew!! Took a while for me to get back on, but here is the After part.

AFTER:

Since 11/28/05 I've lost 4 lbs!!
2 of those lbs were lost between 1/11 and 1/20!!
I don't get dizzy bending down.
I looooooovvvvveeeeee yogurt now!
Headaches? What headaches?
I CAN TOUCH MY TOES!!
I go to Curves Monday to Friday, rain or shine (or ice)
I can do 15 crunches without my back hurting!
I am constantly moving around.
I can finally dance with my daughter without loosing my breath!
I discovered that I like exercising.
I have ENERGY!!
My husband has noticed the small differences! ;)

AND

I FEEL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER ABOUT MYSELF AND WHAT I CAN ACCOMPLISH!

If only I can apply this newfound energy to my home business, then we really will be rockin!! But that's a whole 'nother story, another day, another time.

Now comes the hard part: eating right, watching calories, and keep melting away the fat, and keep it away!!

I have to make dinner now for the kids.

I feel like shouting to the whole world that I feel good!! OK then:

I FEEL GOOD!!!
