    Can I use my pedometer for 2000 steps or does this need to be a separate stroll?

    I have been trying to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. Problem is that I love to sleep in. Probably successful 50% of the time. This morning, did not have the water until I got to work so probably a fail. Will see if I can do it for the rest of the week.

    Okay, I am just going to say that the steps I took today constitute a mile (actually 2).

    I love trying new recipes so this should not be a problem.

    I have ordered two dresses and one skirt that I could not fit into when I ordered them. First dress is now a perfect fit. I put on the skirt tonight and, although it is a tad tight, it is very wearable. It really does look very nice. My resolve is to be able to wear my new little, very little, black dress for my birthday on April 17.

    What a great feeling that is, right?? I'm sure you will have no problem getting in that little black dress!! :bigsmile:
