Getting Stuff Done

I can’t remember if I mentioned here that after I got back from Lucca, I weighed no more than I was when I left!  That was the walking. I walked every day I was there except for one day when it was raining heavily. I have always been aware that what gets weight off for me is not cutting down on food {Unless I am eating huge amounts} but actually walking. Yesterday and today I walked. I have walked fast enough to get my heart rate up and keep it up there. I have decided that I will give myself a week of walking once a day and try to get to where I can walk my one-and-a-half-miles routes with ease. Right now, I am definitely feeling muscle pain in my butt muscles! Today I added a little more to what I walked yesterday but I am still not doing the full one-and-a-half miles. Once I am comfortable with this, I will walk in the morning and in the afternoon.

Things to get done today:

• call to find out where opthalmology department is. I have an appointment tomorrow. {This has been done thanks to Fred finding the telephone number for me}
• Walk at least as far as I did yesterday; a little more would be better. {Already done and I did do a little more}
• Put the summer clothes away and put the winter clothes where I can get to them easily. {I have started this}
• Put the fan in the workroom away.
• get the photos out of the camera and into the computer…
• Play with the photos!

It is easy to tell I am feeling more settled being at home than I was a few days ago because I am making lists again!
