Squeezed in another .6k today. 3.8 in total.

Jezzie, how did you hurt your back?

Hi Mike. I likely hurt my back by lifting and carrying a few things that were too heavy for me over the weekend - that's the only thing I can think of anyway ?? Sometimes it doesn't take much to injure yourself :-)

yep, that call do it.

Had to make an unexpected trip to pick up daughter for Spring Break today and my plan of healthful eating flew right out the window. Then, with no time to prepare supper tonight, we ended up taking her to her favorite restaurant... ugh. Looks like I'm in need of a fresh start tomorrow!

Congrats to all who are doing well!

Had kind of a rotten day at work...I thought to myself, I should see just how much walking I do in a workday! So I went in with my pedometer clipped on. Went outside to collect donations from the bin, bent over, knocked the pedometer off, and it broke when it hit the pavement. I haven't even used it once. So that was how my day started. I was grumpy all day, everything went wrong, but I ate well (and only what I brought with me, no treats!). Then I got home and hubby had picked up fish and chips for dinner. Sigh.

Don't know if I'm ready to spend another $20 on a new pedometer. There's a sports store closing out near my house, I might look there tomorrow. Maybe they have one for cheap.

carolynnq I'm doing the boxing and resistance bands. I do the exercises that come with the game (Wii Sports Active)
I put a hold on the book Slim for Life by Jillian Michaels on my e-reader. I'll let you know what I think.
Ended up having pulled pork sandwich and ate a bit of the bread. It came with caesar salad.

nobe - sorry your pedometer broke - check ebay for one. They have some really reasonable ones. Who knows what the quality is like, but the cost is so low, it's not much of a risk.

Jenn - thanks for telling me what you're doing for your arms. Resistance bands sound like a good idea (equipment that doesn't take up much room!).

Late night for me , I will catch up on posts tomorrow.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
