    18 holes of golf with the food I packed to fit in with my allotted calories. Beautiful day outdoors and a break from cleaning out our dads house for yard sale on Saturday.

    I finally figured out how to lose kids. I left my house with one dog and one kidlette. Walked a mile and picked up two more kidlettes. Walked a quarter mile back and lost one kidlette to her friends and walked the remaining two to their shortcut three houses away from their house. I walked the rest of the way with just the dog. It was kinda nice I must say. Took me about 40 minutes to go round trip. But keep in mind he last 20 minutes was all up hill

    I think it's an active rest day for me. Walking at lunch and hitting my 10,000 steps.

    Bike for 5 minutes. Knee too sore to go any longer. So I decided to try a treadmill. I wanted to watch Iris swim and the treadmills are in the window overlooking the pool. I realized today that my normal slow speed is faster than I thought. I was actually walking my normal speed with the treadmill ate at 2.8 mph. Oops. I always thought I was walking less than 2 mph. So all my previous loggings for walking were way off. So when I walk the dogs I am actually walking faster than 3 mph!!!!!! Didn't know I had it in me!!!! I was on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

    I've gotten more serious and committed about strength training and did a workout yesterday based on strong lifts 5X5.....I'm getting stronger so I'm going to order heavier dumbbells so I can lift heavier and get the most out of the workout

    Yard sale yesterday. So much moving and walking. Always dread them before but always so glad to get rid of the stuff.

    The Rescue Mission came and got what was left. So good purging all around.

    2157045gp85zev8ri.gif I did my weight training routine again today. It took about 55 minutes. Because I'm doing it at home, I can watch something I recorded on my DVR and use the 30-60 second rests between sets to fold laundry. I added some weight to the lifts I'm doing by wearing 5 pound wrist weights. That will do until the adjustable dumbbells I ordered come in. The new dumbbells will be adjustable up to about 50 pounds on each dumbbell...total 100 pounds for a lift. Since the heaviest I am doing now is 40 pounds, they should be good for a long time.

    :) It really helps me to start my day with the long dog walk before I go anywhere else, so even if I'm busy the rest of the day, I have 10,000+ steps.
