Dailies to be done!

Well, I'm sitting at work.  Just thinking of all the dailies I need to do in World of Warcraft! lol  I'm trying to get exalted with as many fractions as possible and I'm trying to collect more mounts.  My pally's name is Roxxee and even though she was my first character to create and the one I tend to always get to max level first, I have other characters that I have really enjoyed playing more.  We play on a PVP server so I really enjoy having a healing druid in full pvp gear.  She rocks! :)

Why me?

I've been walking faithfully every morning for the last two or three weeks.  Yesterday while I was walking, my foot started to bother me and has only gotten worse.  I think I have a bone spur!  This means I'll have to dig out my bike if I want to continue to exercise until I can get my foot looked at.  I go to the doctor on Thursday next week for them to look at it.  Last time I got back into walking pretty heavy, I developed a bone spur on my right foot and this time it's on my left foot.  Who says exercising it good for you?! lol  Seems to cause me a lot of pain and grief! :)

The Cats...

Along my walks in the morning, there are a few cats that tend to always be around the same houses so out of habit, I find myself looking for those cats as I walk by.  Normally, there are two black cats at different houses but they are really close together.  One is always sitting in the yard as if he/she is waiting for a bird to drop in and the other seems to always be roaming around.  Yesterday, the 'roaming' cat had it's eye on something and was in the middle of the road with it's tail slightly moving back and forth.  As I got closer, I wondered if the cat was going to take off or just ignore me all together.  As I got within about 4 feet of it, it just rolled over on it's back with it's tummy up.  He/She just wanted to be petted so I gave in and within seconds, we both were back on track of what we were doing before we encountered each other.

This morning, my bird watching cat wasn't there but in the yard was a white cat????  I haven't seen the white cat before so I'm wondering if that was the cats disguise to cat a bird in! lol

Anyway, the cats are always fun to watch to just see what they are up to so early in the morning :)

Mother's Day

I heard the alarm go off this morning but hit the snooze button.  I did not want to get up but I did on the next buzzer.  I went for my morning walk; after all, if I don't exercise first thing, I'll continue all day long to put it off!  After I got home, I hopped in the bath and got ready for church.  Then, we went to Red Lobster for Mother's Day.  I watched what I ate because I wanted to stay on track for loosing weight.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I feel like I accomplished a lot on it since I also got my house cleaned! Yes!!!

The start of my journey!

It's hard to know where to start a blog!  I'll start by telling you that I have recently started my journey in weight loss.....again!  As I get older, it definately gets much harder.  I have enrolled again in a weight loss program that helped me first time to get my weight back down to around 129.....but those numbers are long gone.  I reached over the 200 lbs mark back in March so I decided no more!  I wanted the weight back off and since I put the weight on, you guessed it, I was going to have to be the one to get it back off.  It was going to take effort and responsibility on my part.  I lost 10 pounds before I went back to the weight loss program and since I've been there, I have lost 18 pounds.  I'm feeling much better!

I was getting discouraged when I first started exercising again.  I love to walk at a rapid pace but I couldn't find anyone who was willing to walk with me in the evenings at a local track and it be a committment for them as well as me.  I wanted someone there to encourage me and support me in this journey.  As of last week, I changed my routine.  I started walking in the morning times before the sun was even getting up, I was on the street walking.  During these walks, I have found such a deep inner peace.  I realize now why God didn't want me to find someone to walk with.  I already had someone....HIM!  This has turned out to be my journey in my salvation as well as my jouney in weight loss.  There is so much to see and experience when most of the world is still asleep and God's creatures are up and moving.

I will try to continue to blog and share my journey with you!

Here is my first picture I took.  I was just completing my walk.  You can see that the sun is just now getting up!
