Sandy701's Journal, 20 October 2011

OK, another chilly morning here. I had my shorts and a sweatshirt on when I let the dogs out and quickly came in and looked at the temperature - 50 degrees!!! Yikes! No wonder I was cold.

So, time to re-think my walking wardrobe. Tried on a pair of jeans that were getting too big earlier this year, hoping they'd still be reasonably OK for walking the dogs. Nope, no such "luck." Had to use 1 of 2 newer pairs that are already getting baggy in some areas on me.

Layered up 4 layers on my core, an earband, gloves...oh, yeah, took the dogs too...and walked 3.1 miles. Managed to drop 1 of my core layers and the gloves midway through the walk; still only 53 degrees when we finished. Living in the South has certainly thinned my Midwestern blood, as they say, which makes the colder/cooler weather all that much more chilly.

Hi Bren, thanks for noticing. I hate brain freeze!!! Now, if I had a Wii and could build an island (smile).....I could stay inside on colder days. Come to think of it, maybe not - the dogs would protest! LOL! They're such nags!! Hope all your projects are indoors today.

So it's back to the Mall for you Sandy. Get yourself some decent jeans to show off your nicely toned butt! Baggy pants are for teenagers.

Sorry to you are freezing your butt off! This is some strange weather lately for sure, the only good part is when it's cold I sure move a LOT QUICKER outside! Did you notice you did the walk in record time? I agree, perhaps it IS time for new jeans! I love the thought of new, great fitting jeans...but I just hate shopping for them, I hope you have better luck than I do! I hope you find the perfect ones!

congratulations on the new pound! I admire your perseverance. I am hoping to get into the 150s next week. I have been hovering for a while!

I don't know Buffy...some days I feel like the saggy baggy elephant....remember that book?

Actually, GG, I expected to go faster, but didn't time myself. What I noticed was that my legs were getting a bit tired. I chalked that up to the friction on my knees, wearing long pants. Don't know if that's true, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!

Lisa, I've no doubt you'll be in those 150's shortly. You've been doing so great overall, I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Thanks for noticing my brand new pound.
