2011_0507 Chicken Chop Suey

-

I weighed in this morning at 181.2lbs.

I gained 1.2lbs. I think what contributed to the gain was the hot weather because I drank more water than usual. Also, I had Chicken Chop Suey for lunch and I did not even guess-estimate how many calories were in it. It was yummy and I enjoyed it. I did pass on the fried shrimp and Asian salad drenched in salad dressing. I knew those two items would be loaded with calories and not worth their small portion size.

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne...

2010_0606 Walking

I think I have given up getting a gym membership, finding a baby sitter so I can exercise and having an adult walking buddy. My approach, which seems to be working, is to put my two toddlers into the double stroller and go for a walk. I try to time it so they either eat snacks on the trip or right before they take a nap so they sleep the bulk of the walk. So far, so good. Last week I walked a total of 16 miles. This week I will try to beat that mileage by at least one mile. Today was a good start, I walked 4.5 miles. One day at a time, one mile at a time. I have also picked up a Nike+ sensor but am not totally sure how to use it. It worked great twice but the past 2 walks have given me bad readings. I must be hitting something that causes the sensor to say I am walking at a pace of 0/mile. Today I know the path I took ends up being 4.5 miles and the sensor said it was 0.9miles. My next stop after this blog posting is to visit Nike and try to figure out how to get the sensor to record p...

DVD Rescheduled, Postponed, Delayed.

Jillian Michaels came out with a new DVD. One Week Shred and you could lose up to 7 pounds in 7 days. A seven day commitment?  I can do that! It was to be released March 3rd. Great! I got on line and per-ordered it. My plan was to do the DVD for one week and shed the 7 pounds before I went on my first camping trip with my son and his cub scouts. As I said, that "was" the plan. What happen was something else. The DVD took longer to ship and longer to arrive. The DVD was delivered a few days before my trip. I did not want to risk being sore during the trip, so I decided to start the Monday after our trip. *sigh* We went on our camping trip and had a great time. It was awesome sleeping under the stars and listening to the coyotes howling and the little cubs sounded adorable. The frogs in the creak were very vocal. An owl decided to land in a tree very near our tent, and he too was very vocal. I really enjoyed our camping trip. My son had a great time and he wanted to ...
