Walking

Now that the respiratory virus I had is pretty much gone, I've started walking to work again. So, I'm walking to and from work and walking Joey twice a day, which means I'm walking close to two hours every day. I can really feel a difference in my butt and legs. They're all tighter, and my butt gets sore from sitting too long (less padding). Unfortunately, all this walking hasn't done anything for my appetite. But I'm working on controlling it.

Mari felt guilty that the drinks the other night seemed to affect my weigh in. She shouldn't. I know if I'm able to keep this regimen up, I'll quickly lose weight, and occasionally, I deserve to splurge.

Joey - Lately, I've been working on an afghan I'm knitting for a Christmas gift. The knitting helps me keep my hands busy and away from food, but Joey is jealous of my knitting. She'll jump up and intentionally sit on my work. And then she'll literally get in my face and go nose to nose with me. Actually, the other day she made a game of it. She'd leap up on my chest and touch my nose with her nose, and then jump down, stare a me for a few minutes and then leap up and do it all over again. She must have done that 5 times in a row. When Joey wants to play, she can be pretty funny.
