walking and squating!

Last Friday night my wonderful friend Anne joined me on my walk...it was fabulous! She loved the bog as much I do and she introduced me to squats while walking....we did some lunges too but my knee is not solid enough right now...im afraid to injure myself so we kept it to squats only....20 at each lamp post...or second lamp post....what a feeling!! my thighs were on fire!!

She was so happy for me...my progress is showing...it's paying off ten fold...i can walk and talk lol

Anne and I and maybe some of her friends as well will be joining us on a trek in Tadoussac next weekend....4 days of hiking and meditating.....how sweet is that!!

Sunday morning I had spent it going through my closet and drawers finally letting go of my clothing that no longer fit....many of them I loved so much but it was time to let go...and then I brought it all to Manon..a friend who just had a gastric bypass and has already lost 50lbs!!!

When I got over there I presented her with three huge bags full of clothing and 2 coats and one blazer....she was so happy..wanted to pay me..i said are you nuts?! lol...your joy and appreciation is thanks enough! We then went for a walk and it was such a great moment for her...she could walk and talk too...that's huge when you start to walk...that shows that your getting healthier.

I enjoy encouraging her ..it encourages me too.....I plan to do a lot more walking with Manon in the future! Way to go Manon!!


Yesterday I decided to do a long walk...got as hydrated as possible without having to pee everywhere - brought some tissues just in case and off I went....12km approx...it was great! hot but great!

Today I decided to do 3.5km but briskly adding squats on the way back....brutal but invigorating!
Tonight is Yoga...I love yoga.

I'm starting to add a little bit more variety to my diet....like I told Anne on Friday...i feel like I'm an alcoholic....i don't want to fall off the wagon....I feel great..i know what to eat and what feels right...eating is no longer a big priority...it's sustenance.

My blood sugar is perfect and there is no diabetes in my eyes!! yeah!!!! so I'll be getting contacts this week...so back to sunglasses! Diva is back!
