What I need to do more of, and you people are inspiring me, is to drink even more water and get into walking. I always say I will walk the dogs as part of a healthy cardio-type exercise and then it gets hot out and I don't do it.

I do the same thing, Pam. I'd wait until after work, and plan to take Daisy for a long walk. Then it gets too hot, and I just don't do it. So I started to say that I'll get up an hour earlier in the mornings to take a long walk, and then have time to shower. Well, the morning came around, and instead of getting up, I just kept snoozin' on my alarm saying "Ahh, I'll take a walk later after work"... well, you see the problem! :P You just have to put it into action. Don't let yourself make excuses. If it's too hot, oh well, all the more sweatin'! If it's unbearable, go to your local mall and take a few strides around inside. You're still getting your walking in, but you're cooled off.. and hey, you can do a little shopping if ya want!


Christa, I will be sure to look out on Monday for our Fitness Fridays... LMAO!! It's an interesting name, for sure.. but hey, it's our motivation all week to make sure we're still following proper procedures by Friday, right? Yep! I can't wait.. hehe, I'm getting all my good-for-you recipes located and I'm SO ready to post them! :P

Went to TWO cookouts yesterday and got so many compliments!!! I was so happy, although I tried to play it down, LOL. I think people are starting to get over the shock . . . always before, they seemed to be more worried, like I was sickly or something. Now they seem to like the new me.

Hubby & I did convince one of my uncles to give up soda! He said after seeing us and hearing our stories, he's convinced that he can at least give that up!!! I was thrilled! Hopefully he'll stick with it! He was sucking down a Dasani as we were leaving with a big smile on his face!
