    Happy Birthday Sprunkn!

    I've been trying to get back to working out, but my shoulder has been so horrible. I'm going to make an appointment next week.I did walk around downtown for a total of 5 1/2 miles tonight.

    Put in 8 miles on the joggin' sticks this week, plus a couple hundred squats and some additional workouts. I felt like I did pretty good at limiting unnecessary calories, focusing on protein and fiber, and limiting carbs and sugar this week, I am pretty excited to weigh in. I am hoping for a 7lb drop this week, but I won't be disappointed with anything more than 3.

    If I can do it, you all can too! Just keep trying to do a little better, just a little better every day and every week!

    I cut back on portions, list 5 pounds.
    Went walking around Edmonds, 2.5 miles.
    Going to try to walk to the farmer's market tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

    I don't know, I weighed in 4 pounds lighter, but it was on an empty vs full stomach so I still need to kick it up a notch.

    I tried on my PJ warm up suit..hahaha, looks like I still have a lot of work to do. I cut out my PJ motivation tabs and they are now stuck all around..bathroom mirror, the fridge, closet door, car dashboard and inside my house door. Thanks Tash!!!

    I'm thinking of taking pictures of my meals. Of course I won't bore you guys with all that nonsense but this is a sample of one of my lunches. Broccoli slaw with a mixed salad, nuts and left over steak. I just used some evoo and vin. salt and pepper.
    Anyone want to put up some good ones?

    Ran a mile. I last ran on the 8th. I'm ready to take it up a couple notches and get back to 3 miles.

    Good luck! I'm stuck at 2 miles, but I hope to edge it up to 3 soon.

    I planned on running two miles.

    First mile was very difficult. I was going to stop after a mile, but then at about a mile Pat Benatar's "Heart Breaker" came on and I decided to run little longer.

    A little later a live "Evenflow" came on my iShuffle so I continued.

    I was about to stop at 1.75, but then CC+ The Music Factory's "Every Body Dance Now" came on and I accomplished my goal.

    Odd first mile.

    Why is the end of the first mile always worse than the end of the 2nd mile??
    I run without music, I'm like a caveman, no fitbit, no metrics or music, no water, just my joggin stix!

    I focus on my breathing and I use it as a time for mindfulness and meditation, breathe and step, no thoughts, no distractions.

    I'll try it out tomorrow. I'm a bit of a daydreamer, a big big daydreamer, so I'm not sure if I can be mindful and not think of winning the lottery, or getting my PhD in linguistics.

    Let's see what happens! Will it be two miles of joy or not-so-joyful?
