MLK

Happy holiday! Today we celebrate MLK and his legacy. I'm really celebrating because at work this is the first time this holiday has been added an "Official" holiday for us. It's a paid day off! I have been an incredible slug so far. Not sure that is the best way to honor his legacy but I'll see if I'm inspired to do something more profound.
The weekend has been nice and relaxing. The dogs got groomed on Saturday and they are nice and clean. Buddy looks so much better when he is clean cut. Sonny looks the same.
Sunday I cleaned the house and the Hastings came over to watch the Golden Globes. John came over earlier with Rory and he took care of the yard. The front yard looks good but the backyard is still rough. the leaves are stuck in the mud and I think the grass is dead. At least the yucky old topsy turvys with the dead tomatoes are gone.
I pulled out the treadmill on Saturday and walked 2 miles. First time in 6 months. It felt good. I'm walking again today. At least 2 miles. If I can do that 3 times this week and then up it to 3 miles next week, I'll feel good. The food thing isn't going as well. I ate a lot of chips and salsa yesterday along with the yummy Velveeta cheese dip.
I have a ton of salad stuff in the fridge so it is salads this week.
I'm searching for the zumba WI game but is seems to be sold out at all the Targets. Annette is suppose to lend me her DVD's for zumba so at least I can try it. The info mercial says you can lose a dress size in 10 days. But I'm guessing that means using it everyday for at least an hour. Probably not going to happen.
I saw on-line today an article about people who loss weight and blogged about it. The blogs helped hold them accountable. It's time to get serious and see if I can make a move on the scale.
