Come on in, and let's start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I know that I say this each month but I am truly grateful for each and every one of you, who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month.

So now... let us lace up those walking shoes and remember to get our water... while we begin to walk into August of 2017!

Let us walk with determination and extra hydration

    I have company coming Sept 1st. I have to get my painting projects done. And now the peas and beans need to be picked. Our renters moved out so I have another 6 hours of mowing a week, :(. Busy keeps me away from the food!

    I found the remote to the dyson fan...(yay)...have a way to organize some of my stuff in my head, now to put it in motion.

    Organize paper work.
    Have the Pelican Water System installed.
    Call Handyman (clogged sink that I have not been successful unclogging...lights that are not working...pictures need to go up) --more on this when I think of it.


    More later on my steps.

    Thanks a bunch to Lilymay for keeping us going. Truly grateful! <3<3<3

    August Goal
    To reboot myself. I have fell off a bit with my eating and working out but I am confident that I can find a healthy balance to move forward.

    250 Miles is goal for the month.

    Goal...today is day 7 drinking a green smoothie a day...found a site on facebook to join...actually you don't have to be on facebook...it's called: SimpleGreenSmoothies.com Goal is to continue on and truly make their philosophy on green smoothie part of my daily routine.

    I just like their very smart philosophy about diet and lifestyle. Nothing crazy. Just some FYI if anyone is interested. https://www.simplegreensmoothies.com/

    Thanks Lilymay...good to see you here. Now if I could only control how much I eat. Eating pretty healthy...just too much. Oh and I had a meltdown on Thursday night. It was a great reminder how I am no longer that binge girl. Not a good look.

    No, I sort of wish I was. I am a receptionist but I walk to work sometimes (almost 3 miles, unless I'm being creative), I will walk to the gym on the weekends and just generally try and keep moving when I am not stuck behind my desk. I also do some FitBit challenges so that gives me motivation to keep moving as well. I started slow and set some goals for myself and usually they were not that hard to accomplish, but I wish I could either run or push myself in a reasonable way.

    Lol... see the pattern? I always get lots of steps when I have the grandkids and when I mow grass. This week is going to be super busy. Our small town of 700 has a one day street festival that brings in 2 to 3000 people. I volunteer with the museum so I get tons of steps.... Oh it is going to be a busy week getting ready for the festival.
