This morning, did my 2 1/2 miles start. It was a great day! I'm walking faster and really working up a sweat. Once we got back, I called my Grandpa to ask him about some ant powder. I've got a bunch of ant holes that popped up around Cody's area. So, I had to move him. I talked with him and Grandma on the phone. I told them how much weight I've dropped. They were very happy. My grandpa said he was very proud of me and to keep it up. He told me that before he was kinda worried about me, but that he doesn't talk about ppl's body or their faults, so he never said anything. I wish he had, honestly. I'd rather hear blunt truth, as opposed to not saying anything at all. That was honestly how I racked up all that weight, because no one ever told me and I was too scared to actually see it so it was like I was a ghost walking around for years, not even knowing the state I was in. Crazy!
Anyway, grandpa told me which one to get and he told me that since his left knee surgery, he's been home doin great and healing up. It's great because both his knees are now fixed and he's really happy about that. They no longer cause him pain and he can't wait to get up and around once again. He talked to me about summer fishing so we may be planning a trip sometime next month. I hope my dad can come. He's still kinda slow moving around. Healing up from his heart surgery is taking some time.
Grandpa told me he was trying to build up his arms but had no weights to really do that, so after I got off the phone, Lisa and I headed up to Walmart and I bought some ant dust, then we headed to the exercise equipment and I bought grandpa a 20 pound dumbbell. That'll help build up his arms. I took that down to him after. He was happy. He said it looked a bit to big for him, but that's what he needs. Anyway after we went to Arby's again and I bought us some turkey sandwiches. Lisa loved hers. Again, I took the bread off and just ate the meat and veggies. I also had water. I'm getting so used to water now, it's amazing! I drink it everyday and even when we get food in town, it's always water. I love that about myself. Before I never drank water, now it's pretty much my main drink.
One of the cool things about yesterday which I think I forgot to mention, was that I paid off my phone bill, Woohoo!!! I had been so behind on my home phone. It racked up to over $200. Finally I got it all paid in full. I was very happy about that. A huge load off my back! Another thing I did this evening was a cut lots of weeds in my yard. We have a fox coming around at night. I've chased it away several nights. He comes around and eats Cody's food and Cody...yeah he don't do anything. Either they're buddies, or Cody just doesn't bother anymore because apparently this fox may have been coming around for a long time. Anyway while I was cutting weeds, I found this little bed LOL. Meaning a bed in the weeds where a small animal has lay down. I'm guessing it was the fox. He just sits there and watches until I'm back inside, then comes out and has a feast. So I got rid of it, now that crazy fox won't have a hiding spot. I don't really mind him, just so long as it leaves my cats alone, which so far it seems to have done just that. I swear though, that thing ever hurts my cats, especially the new kitties, I'm loading up my rifle and going fox hunting! Hopefully it never comes to that though.
So, at the end of the day, I did another 2 1/2 miles. 5 total today! I'm feeling great and lighter on my feet. I notice my walks are more faster now, as opposed to when I first started. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm really building up a sweat walking. Cody sure is getting exercise too, though all he does is goof off when we walk. A fun fact about my dog, Cody, he is a 103 pound German Shepherd. I know right, WHOA!!! When we took him to the vet, that's how much he weighed in...or did I mention that in my other blogs...hmmm I have no idea LOL. Oh well, if I didn't, now you know. So I have a huge dog and I love him bunches. He's more used to Lisa though, only because she's really soft with him. I'm strict and I get after him when he's naughty. Basically like kids, they are more close to the moms since the moms are not as strict as the dads. They respect dad and fear him when they get out of line, but love him just as much, they just feel more safer with mom lol. Anyway you get the idea. That's how Cody is. Crazy dog! Anyway, today was a great day! Lookin forward to tomorrow.
Goodnight!
