New things!

I was on a website and found another blog with this cool widget. I love it! It keeps track of my mileage so I don't have to keep mentioning in my posts for my records. I hope somebody comments on my widget or my blog to motivate me. I guess I'll have to do the same. Today was a little short because of Thing 3 but maybe I'll be able to get in some mileage tomorrow after The Man gets home from work. (Fingers Crossed) I find it strange but I am finally getting into the groove of things and I am enjoying my walks but I think it is entirely due to having people to walk with. I don't know that I could do it by myself but the longer I go, the more likely I think that will be the case. Next step...Calorie reduction! Weight loss tip of the day...duh duh duh....calorie reduction! I know all these things sound pretty obvious but I have always thought that I could just eat less and I would be fine but the more research that I do I realize that if I eat half of a 2500 calorie meal I'm still getting more calories than I need for the day so I am not doing as much good as I thought. So I will have to start counting calories until I get the hang of things and work out a system. As for now, I think I need to step it up a notch. There may be a family function in the near future and I don't want to show up looking like Jabba the Hut. Muu muus just don't do it for me so I guess I'll have to get my butt in gear and my curb my appetite!
