That is the direction I like to see it go. I have been working out each day by walking. Sometimes I have even walked twice in a day. I have also been eating much healthier and that has made a big difference too. Lots of fruits and veggies. Makes a huge difference just to take the time to prepare some and have them in bags to pack for lunch.

Something that I noticed today is that in just those few pounds it made a difference in a couple of the sleeveless shirts I wear. They have a small split at the bottom and the corners had been flipping up on the shirt and hitting my arm when I walked. Once I dropped those pounds it stopped doing it as it was not stretching the shirt to cause it to curl them that way.

I want to say thank you for the comments lately. The support has been a big help. And Mich, I did get the squash and zucchini planted and they sprouted and have started to grow. Think they will do a lot of growing this week because it has rained a lot in the last few days. Deb, the tomato and cucumber salad I seasoned with a little salt and a few sprays of dressing (balsamic kind).

I got a new pair of shoes today. They are new balance and an off road shoe....with a brown and green color scheme. I think I am going to really like them and they will be good for some of the paths and trails I like to hike over. The guy at the shoe store told me to spray them with a fabric protector. I never thought about doing that...it makes so much sense. I think that will help to keep them looking so much better. I got a can and did it already so we'll see how that works.
