I read something from Diana recently stating that she thinks she cursed herself when she wrote an article on the health benefits of a good night’s sleep. She hasn’t been sleeping well since.  Likewise, I think I jinxed my own self when I decided to put myself in the spotlight and post about my attempts to walk my way to a healthier lifestyle.  I have done everything BUT walk lately.  I have worked in my yard a great deal, and gotten exercise through other means, but walking?…..It hasn’t been happening.  In fact, today I plan to work out for an hour in a water aerobics class.  It’s not only fun, but the time seems to just fly by.  Trading  30 minutes of walking for an hour of water aerobics is not a bad deal.

I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I have only lost a pound this past week.  At least, it’s a pound lost, and not a pound gained, right?  And at least, I am not at a stand still.  I hope to lose at least 9 more pounds before the month is over.  I have plans to visit Mexico in August, and I would love to be 30 pounds lighter by then.

So, I am tossing out a challenge. Who will join me in losing 2 pounds by next Friday?  Sign up by hitting the reply button, and next Friday come back and report back on the next “Fat Granny Walking” post, and don’t forget to tell us what you did to accomplish your 2 pound weight loss goal.

Abundantly Yours….
