May 10, 2012 - Life is great when you weigh 120 lbs. less

May 10, 2012

 It isn't that my life is so different from the outside.  I still go to work, clean my house, shop for groceries and do laundry.  It's just that now I move through those things with ease, instead of it taking all day, and still have the energy to do other stuff like working out with my husband, re-organizing my house and garden.

Bert and I have been walking briskly for an hour two to three times per week.  Well, yesterday we started a jogging program.  The progression intends that we will be able to jog/run nonstop for 20 minutes by the end of 10 weeks.  Today we walked briskly for 10 minutes to warm up, jog x 1 min/ walk x 2 min - 6 times, jog x 1 min, then walk briskly for 10 minutes to cool down.  I am a bit sore tonight.  Tomorrow is an off day, so we will likely just walk.  I am hoping this program wittles me down a bit by the end of summer.  Speaking of which...

I have been slowly accumulating a new wardrobe of clothes.  Yesterday a rack in my closet fell off the wall and we took the opportunity to restructure how our walk in bedroom closet is organized.  I went through all of my clothes and pulled out the summer stuff and put away the winter things which fit or are still too small.  I can't believe the amazingly wonderful wardrobe I have.  It is the FIRST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE THAT I HAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES TO WEAR!...and they look nice!

I love weighing 120 pounds less!
