Walking

     I mentioned earlier in the week our joining one of the local Country Clubs. Well we did that on Monday, and as of today, we have managed to go walking in the gym everyday, even went twice the last 3 days. That puts us up to 4 miles a day. Yesterday I walked and biked 2 miles each, I like breaking the pattern up, it seemed to give me more energy to ride between the 2 mile walk.

     I hope this gets my metabolism going, and we can really get fit. At 50 we both need to really start paying attention to our health, and weight. I will not tell you my weight (it's way to much), but I will praise Dennis for his. He's down to 183, and that's his 40 year old weight, and a good one for him he's 5"11", he does want to get to 170 and have a few pounds to play with.

     An extra plus to this is that Dennis and I are doing it together, we encourage each other, and admire each other's determination. It gives us alone time together each day, and makes for great massages in the evenings.

     Dennis says by my birthday he'll have the hottest wife in town (ha ha), this would be a great compliment if it was a new statement, it isn't. I have a great husband, even at my heaviest, he's never complained about my weight, and has ALWAYS told me I was hot. All 34 years of our marriage. When we married I weighted 120 and now I'll tell you, when we started this on Monday I weighted 158. This morning I weighed 154. My goal is to get down to 110, I am 4'11" and this would be a great feat for me.

     I must mention and will talk more about it at a later date, on Sunday we also started a new eating plan, we are trying the Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type diet by Dr. D. Adamo. Thus far we're enjoying it, and trying a few new foods we've not eaten before. I'll keep you posted.
