Back at it

Ok, a month is a long enough break. I'm back at the mall-walking; it's just too darned cold to walk outside, especially since most of my walking pants stop several inches above the ankle (side note - I forsee a trip to the thrift shop in the near future). So...back to the mall it is. Lots of old friends there - several people said hello and a couple actually went so far as to ask my name and give me theirs. Nice.

I've set myself a goal of fifteen miles a week. It's doable. Heck, I did fifteen miles in a DAY on the 3-Day, so I'm good. It's ambitious but not so much that it's not achievable. And if it gets to be too easy, it's a simple thing to add a lap or so a week. One lap is one mile, at the mall. Easy-peasy.

Things to remember:

You didn't get this heavy overnight, you won't get thin overnight.

You feel GOOD when you walk. Keep it up.

When you get out of bed in the morning, put the walking shoes on. Just do it. You'll be more likely to go to the mall if you don't have to go home to get the shoes on.

DON'T LOOK AT THE MANNEQUINS. Nobody looks like that. Even the clothing designers don't think so; the dresses are all pinned up in the back on those things. Nobody's built like the mannequins.

Am I the only one who thinks that's weird???
