Tori, lots of whips around the stable, eh? Mike had better watch it or else we'll be knocking those pimp canes/sticks out of his hand!
Darlene, I hope you enjoy both the strawberries AND the magazine.
Mike, wow, 10 miles is really IMPRESSIVE, to say the least! Yeah, it would be better to buy those new running shoes now to give yourself plenty of time to break them in before the half marathon. If I went out to the woods and ran into a wild animal, I don't think I'd be concerned about it peeing on my shoe, but rather eating me for a snack! Thanks for your encouragement on my very green reports this week.
Kay! Wow, congrats on that treadmill walk today and on all the miles you did earlier this week, too!
#403
Yup. Did a good 2 miles (his vet recommended max) yesterday & will finish him off with a nice half mile today. He's stiff from playing, but the exercise should help him sleep. :/
#404
April, what do you recommend that I give to Chloe' for her joints?
Kay, Oh no, there goes the neighborhood.
#405
Yeah. I had Steg x-rayed & he has severe hip dysplacia on both sides.

suggestions on dinner, smart ass.
So, my cousin/(non)workout buddy SWEARS she's gonna walk with me tomorrow. She said something about going to the park and hitting the walking trail. But I'll have to see it to believe it. She's bailed on me for 2 weeks now, so I'm not holding my breath. Either way, with a high of like 60* tomorrow, and no chance of rain I have to make myself get outside earlier than 8pm. I don't really have any household stuff to do, other than start packing what little I don't already have in storage. And then cook dinner for Momma and Daddy. But otherwise, it's a free day. Not sure how many miles I'll get in, but I will get SOME in, and that's all that really counts. I don't care what Mike says

Health/Fitness
1--under 1300 calories--the year Columbus sailed the ocean blue....1492, 1098, 1302 I'm countin it!, 1015, 1204, 783
2--drink more water--not setting an actual goal for oz, seems to get me frazzled if I don't make it. So I'm just gonna say, drink more water.--almost through with 48 oz. Might not make it tonight, but closer than last week, pretty much the same. downed a liter while walking though, another liter while walking. Maybe tomorrow I'll carry 2 bottles with me!not sure if I even DRANK water today...oh yeah I did. At lunch and at my bro's, not sure how much though--oh yeahhhh, 66 oz today!!! uuummmmmmmm
3--walk at least 10 miles--now that I've strapped on my "walking shoes" I'm kinda liking it. Gives me time to think (scary huh??? )--rained. all. day., 2.06, 3.01--I saw some animals pairing up and looking for the ark--5.04 for the day!--1.51 today = 11.65 so far, wonder how many I can do tomorrow?????
4--work out 4 times--I'm gonna hit this goal this week if it KILLS ME!!!--took the day off, nooooo, ummmmmmm I'm gonna knock this one out the next 4 days! sometimes even the best laid plans don't work. by the time I got the DVD player hooked up it was 11:00 and I HAVE to get some sleep tonight. If I work out now I'll be up til 3!! I'll get up early in the morning and knock one out--SCREW IT, I GOT GOADED INTO EXTRA WALKIN
5--another 2??? Starting weight Monday morning--215.6, up exactly a pound this morning at 216.6, back down *yay* weighed in at 214.2 this morning **WHOOP WHOOP**, 214.6 so a little up from yesterday but still down for the week, 213.2 (is what it said this morning, this evening it was 213.0 but i go by morning numbers), 212.4
Life/Home
1--clean out home office--EEEEHHHHH who needs a cleaned and straightened home office??
DONE!!2--get by WalMart and buy cables to hook up DVD player--DONE
3--stop worrying about it. It's gonna happen whether I want it to or not--eeehhhh, I took a 2 hour nap where I didn't think about or worry about it at all, tried my best, thought about then went walking and thought about it some more. finally made a decision about it, second guessing my decision (sometimes I hate being a Libra)--sticking with decision #1 and moving next month
4--call Dr. about blood work and asthma meds--MUST. DO. THIS. BEFORE MEDS RUN OUT!!!
5--scout out a new eye dr.--don't ya love when the insurance stops paying for you to see the same dr. you've seen for 7 years!!! And he was cute....sigh, stupid insurance--I don't WANNA new doctor!!!
6--research hotels for Mardi Gras.....otherwise we might be asking if we can sleep in someone's recently cleaned out garage , really started to look haven't settled on anything yet, looked at a few today (thanks for the info Mike) and one is ruled out because they don't have any rooms with 2 double beds, the other two are up for consideration, settling on something this weekend
7--4 random acts of kindness. I like this goal, had to steal it--does being polite to the worthless manager count? no?? well, still 4 more to go then., I didn't kill the grouchy old man who was wandering through my stock room yelling at ME because he couldn't find the squash. THAT'S an act of kindness, I cooked for my Momma and Daddy, I so totally held the door open for this little old couple at Subway, nuttin today, hmmmm I didn't brake check the guy tailgating me.
Takin the heating pad and hittin the hay. Night John Boy!!
