Take a Hike!

So yesterday and today my hubby and I went on a hike. Yesterday he made it longer by parking on the other side of the lake. And, since it had been a few days since I'd last hiked, I was hating it all the way. I was huffing and puffing, whining, and yes, I even cried. It was hot out, and I was sweating a lot, and I was just very uncomfortable. But, I have the best hubby ever! :) He was there for me the entire time, encouraging me, even when I stopped to cry, and blowing on me to cool me off! Such a Sweetheart! Today I didn't need much prompting to go on the hike. I didn't want a repeat of yesterday, and I know that to avoid that, all I need to do is do it more often! Keep doing it, and eventually, it will get easier. Today it was a LOT cooler out, and there was very little sun, until we got off the trail to go home. I did pretty good today. Hubby even says that I feel a little smaller when he puts his arms around me! That is SUCH good motivation! I love it!

LOVE MY HUBBY!!!

In (round) Shape

So, after being weighed at the doctor's office about a month ago, I've gradually come to the conclusion that I should change some of my lifestyle habbits. It just hit me (long after the fact) that I'm about 14 lbs away from being FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS! I could barely make it up over the hill that goes out of the appartments. My weight had litterally trapped me, confining me to a very small area of flat land. So, lately, I've been keeping a food journal, just jotting down what I eat every day (don't worry, I won't list the boring details of that here) and going for walks on a beautiful hiking trail not too far from here. The other day, I made it up the hill in my apartment complex without stopping to catch my breath!! WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! :D I'm awesome! Pretty soon, I'll be able to do it without huffing and puffing the whole way, either! Yay!! I'm so proud. :)

Hope I can keep it up! It feels so good!

Been A While...

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted... So, I had my birthday and reported on that, and then the next day I had my orientation at WalMart. :) Long and boooorrrrriiiiinnnng... Then the day after that I spent all day on their computer doing CBLs, which stands for Computer Based Learning. Just a bunch of stupid tests and stuff to teach you about safety and procedure. Again, another long and boring day, especially since not much of it applied to me because I'm just at the front, as a cashier. Why do I need to know about the stuff that goes on in the back? I don't.

Anyway, today is my first paycheck!! YYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!! I'm only going to have one week's pay on it, because it's my first one, but the next one will have two weeks' worth of pay on it. I hope I made enough this week to keep affording the taxi rides I'm forced into paying for. I swear the bus system around here is SO retarded. Nobody who doesn't drive goes out after 6pm around here? BS. Oh well, a taxi is only $10 per ride (even tho that's a little steep for a 5 minute drive), but Asmund says it's about how much gas would be for the trip if I were driving an SUV. But, of course, the taxis are just sedans. Oh well.

And yes, I do get a discount! 10% on certain things (not sure which things, but some stuff, anyway).
