Since beginning this blog
I have lost 5% of my body weight... who knew that blogging would burn so many calories? Just kidding. I've been walking my tail off! But I've been enjoying it so much! Even as I typed that last sentence, I am shocked to say that I have truly enjoyed it more than ever. Here's a pic I took during my walk at lunch one day...

I recently talked a few friends and coworkers into doing a 5K for fun... my first 5K ever. It wasn't a timed event so we weren't under pressure to do anything except finish. We all finished within an hour... so we were stoked! We had a blast! We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. We've all committed to do it again next year.
I also joined the Mayor's "Walk 100 Miles" challenge that runs from Oct. 13th through the end of the year. Today, November 24th, I actually completed my 100.1 miles... everything else is gravy! I'm looking forward to seeing how many miles I can get in before its over.
I did overeat during Thanksgiving; even though I had hoped to have more will power, I did not. I suppose "hoping" isn't enough! Still trying to master that dang hula-hoop... but not yet ready to give it up!
