30:00 1.54
This was the time I walked on the treadmill and the distance I went. I had to slow down from 17+ minute pace to a 20 minute pace because of shin pains (the reason I stopped running years ago). I need to stretch out my lower legs before walking and maybe a warm epsom salt bath soak will help, too. My weight is down another half pound so I am at 182 today.
I have been watching my eating and feel hungry at bedtime every night. I have eaten more fruits and vegetables than I was and getting a cup of milk a day with my cereal in the morning. I was tired last night and a bit tired to day but the walk has re-energized me. I still have two weeks and only 4 lbs to go. I will keep losing if I surpass my goal before the date. I hope to lose enough to fit in my size 12 clothes from a couple of years ago. We'll see...

Those were the time and distance of my walk on the treadmill tonight. WOW! I can't believe I finally got started. I have a ways to go. The last post had the song of the day referring to my fat cells and not my husband! The book is one I bought a while back and decided I will need while I am losing weight. It has come in handy so far since I need to stay focused. Meditation works to serve that purpose. The food was where I was supposed to go for lunch but my BFF was not feeling well and I decided to eat my Subway sub. That is my lunch or dinner for each day and since they have a deal right now, I'm taking advantage of it. $2.49 for a 6" sub. Each day is a different one and I may not do the meatball or chicken bourbon sub since they have more calories. I am also having a diet frozen dinner as a meal, too. So far, I have had a Lean Cuisine and a Healthy Choice meal. Both were chicken alfredo with broccoli. You get what you pay for because the Lean Cuisine was $1 more than the Healthy Choice. And cost more than a 6" sub! The flavor of LC was much better than the HC and the chicken tasted more like chicken should taste.
Okay, on tap for tomorrow, more weight loss and walking. I was only going to diet until the wedding that I am going to with my brother (at the Grand Floridian, no less) but I amy keep it up for a while so I can fit back in my size 12 clothes loosely.

A cool site...
I always surf late into the night as I prepare something for the blog. Tonight was no exception! I attached the link for "Erwin", TN and when I clicked on the web site, I found something called "Quilt Trail". I went there and found a great site for searching out barns in eastern TN with quilt patterns adorning them. This is cool and some day, I hope to drive to some of those sites and see them for myself. I did something similar a few years back when I took my boys around Orlando and snapped pics with the LIZART figures standing taller than any of us.
Back in December...Paris....
I went with my BFF to EPCOT after Christmas and we had a great time together (we always do)! Here we are eating in France (I think it is so cool to say that). They had the best quiche I've ever eaten and the cheesecake was scrumptious!

oooo.....one last pic....
Okay, I thought about this picture I took. We had a lot of dust in TX so I took advantage of it on the back window. We have been sporting this ever since! And we haven't had any rain hitting the back window.
The side windows had (1) each day crossed out except for the present one on one side (can't see it anymore) and (2) the states listed that we had gone through (still can see it but haven't taken a pic since IA).
I also had "Thing 1" on Karl's side and "Thing 2" on KJ's side but they can roll their windows up and down and it got wiped away! Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!!!
Homeward Bound
There's a lot of songs to express the upcoming trip back to FL. I used JD's song because it is the CD we put on whenever we leave TN coming from Erwin, where Kent's parents live now. These are the mountains we know and though we drove through VA and even stayed overnight in WV, these lyrics can easily reflect TN and NC as we drive away, southward to the Atlantic Ocean.....these country roads will be taking us home and back here, soon again!
