Not feeling the love yet this morning.  Walked 1.5 miles fast with the dog and was in the office by 6:15. I'll walk another 2 miles at lunch and then do some pool work and weight training tonight.

Wish I could lose 2.5 pounds every day. (too bad it will never happen). 

Problem with speed walking at lunch - I was soaking wet beneath my clothes for an hour after getting back at work.  Luckily - no one is in the cubicles next to me :)

Tonight I did 30 minutes swimming, followed by 20 minutes of abs. 

1 more mile with the dog.

What do you mean love 2.5 pounds every day?

Do you by any chance want to hike up the Cottonwood trail and run down at 5:45 tonight?

Les - I can't spell - that's what I meant. Went from 148.4 yesterday to 146 today.

Sure - I can be talked into that. But I'm not wearing FiveFingers tonight.

I would love to do it, but I only have about an hour. You could go on ahead when I turn around and still beat me to the cars. Is that okay?

2 1/2 pounds overnight! That just makes you want to smile all over the place!!! Nice sister Sally!!!

Enjoy your walk at lunch! :)

Nice weight loss! Keep up the good work, and enjoy the time with Leslie tonight!

Sweet dropping 2.5 overnight! Have a nice run with Leslie tonight!

I hate the whole gaining/losing weight battle. It is really, really hard. I used to weigh 30-40 pounds more than I do now. Running has helped control it, but unfortunately, it's the eating small, balanced meals-- and eating less of everything that really makes the difference. NO ONE loves food as much as I do, so it makes me sad when I have to give it up. Boring. But again, I'm pretty sad about giving it up right in this moment.

WAY to get some night swimming and abs exercise in!

Hope you're feeling the love this morning!
