New Exercise Program

I have had a goal to lose weight for quite some time. Wanting and doing are quite different in my world.

My friend Michelle had a great idea and invited everyone to go "walking" with her. Go to her site for all the details.

Starting tomorrow, I will be wearing my pedometer. My goal is to walk to Sudbury, Canada (figuratively--don't worry that I've packed up the house Papa Echo).

I'm putting this goal on my blog so that I'll feel accountable. If you notice my number of miles at the top of the page not changing much, then feel free to "encourage" me along.

I'm walking with you Michelle!! (just in a different direction, and starting in a different place, and oh never mind...)

I Blame You, Stimey!!

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man--my mascot

I am done feeling like a big marshmallow-or tons of marshmallows attached together. With that in mind, I read an "inspiring" blog from Stimey and was convinced it was a good idea to follow her example.
So, today was the first of my 30day Shred program, and I AM SORE! There was much cussing and "mean looks" headed to Stimey's today as I tried to get through the 20 minute session. Who knew that marshmallows are too out of shape to do level 1? Anyway, because I apparently like pain and do not like my marshmallow/muffin top, I will continue on... I have a feeling that this program is going to kick my fat butt into shape quicker than any of my other exercise programs.
So, please feel free to ask/harass me and make sure I'm still on track.
