i recently read a story about a woman, self proclaimed couch potato who adopted a rescue dog, The dog required 3 nice walks a day, so she walked (not stopped to allow the dog to pee at ever blade!) and lost 30 pounds without a diet, she and the dog are in great shape now. My little dixi pup could walk for acres, and we've got 200 here so no reason i should not be out there enjoying our hiking. i used to love hiking at one time, and she loves to explore so that is my goal, to not think of the E (exercise) word but to think of the A (activity) word which is what works for me. i feel so outta shape and i can't have that!

i wonder if scramble counts and an activity

Scramble only counts as "A" when you move your finger fast enough, also I think that seeing the possibility of losing the game may increase your heart rate J/K

Yes, the "E" is the part I do not like, but it makes it possible for me to participate in the "A" and enjoy it so much more.

Medusa, that is awesome! I was not as successful yesterday. I came home early and did not workout.

Good luck to Katy!

Funny thing I do:

I used to think that losing 5 or 10 pounds was not that much of an accomplishment. Then I started thinking of my weight in terms of chickens and turkeys. I know, I am strange, and I like me that way. But this past two weeks I've lost the equivalent of a good size Thanksgiving turkey. It puts it into perspective for me. When I think of how big a turkey is, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
