    Ralphy and I

    Today was the first time in a very long, long time that Ralphy and I went out for a walk. We didn't walk far. But we did walk.
    Now my goal is to do it again tomorrow.
    I have been dragging one foot off the Atkins wagon - and getting my walking routine started again will be a big help.
    I cannot believe how hard it was to walk today. I felt like everything was a wiggling and a jiggling and I'm sure it was. I can't care about that. I just have to get out there and do it. One day at a time.
    I think I'll sing: “Put one foot in front of the other,
    Soon you’ll be walking across the floor!
    Put one foot in front of the other,
    Soon you’ll be walking out the door!”

          Congratulations on that walk, Tamariah!!

          I bet Ralphy was pleased to have you walk with him!!

          Just be careful if it is icy, wont you !!

            Tamariah, yea girl you did it. That first walk was as hard as it gets, now it's going to be much easier to step out that door. And lovely weather too! Go take us some pictures so we can oooh and ahh at your lovely valley!

              Tamariah Yea for you and Ralphy too! I went out and bought a pedometer from Wal~Mart for $5 actually less than that. I try to get in at least 10,000 steps a day but I have gotten 27,000 one day. I compete with other co workers to see who walks the most so far this lil ole lady is kicking my butt. I'm sure the old coot is cheating but I have not caught her yet! Then again the poor old thing is single and can walk the streets all night. Where as I have a DH who gets a lil testy when I go walk the streets at night. Deflating Diva

                Well done Tamariah.....I'm so jealous....I'm still not that good at getting off my butt and walking.... It's a great accomplishment, even if it is all jiggling....and that will go away in time....(I'm hoping so...)

                      Exercise is the hardest thing for me to get motivated to do. Yesterday was my first day doing REAL exercise. I felt so great afterwards that I decided instead of 4 days a week I wanted to exercise 6 days a week (resting only on Sunday)

                          Ya know, I'm not sure if its from Rudolph - they don't show it here at christmas time So its been years since I've seen the show that song is from. It is from a christmas show though. Does anyone know which one?
