Me 2-2-2014

Well I got no notes on my diary entry from yesterday and only one person wrote anything all day. I guess the exodus is almost complete. Of course I did have alot of timeout problems so maybe everyone else was having the same problem.

Not much happening today. I did a Leslie Sancome walking DVD to burn some calories, then laundry and grocery store. Finished the book I was reading in yesterday’s diary entry and started Bill Brysons book about walking the Appalachian trail. What's weird is that last night I had a dream about walking the shoreline of the Mississippi river from its start to its end. Maybe the book was on my mind but its been on my nightstand for a month now with narry a thought. I think I am going to go on some long walks this Spring and Summer. The neighbor kids came over to do some homework on my computer or more likely they came over to play games on my computer. While they were in the computer room I got on my Wii fit for the first time in about a year and it said I had lost 57 pounds since my last weigh in it also said I was a normal weight! Then I tried to watch the Super Bowl but I don't like blow outs unless one of the teams is the Chiefs and they are winning.

Good Thing I did for me

Walked 4 miles with Leslie Sancome

Stayed in Calorie Range

Gratitudes The Internet. Some weekends would be pretty dull without it for company but I do need to do better about seeing real friends and family on weekends. I was going to go to St Joe but the icy roads yesterday kept me home.
