Rep Power: 83 | | Oh wow Patty! It takes a brave person to go treading into a diary almost 100 (just checked...officially 100) pages long!
It was amazing how so many things happened in such a short time - I was feeling very antsy that no one had said a word about me losing weight - I could FEEL the difference and people around me went around without saying a word! Oh, and I was a confirmed "No, I'm NOT going to count calories, nothankyouverymuch" person - I feared I would get obsessive, blah, blah, blah! The walking is funny to look back on! I knew when I started, I was doing a mile every 20 minutes or so. It really doesn't take that long to build up!
Thanks for all those reminders!
So I'm sitting here debating whether or not to take my walk this morning. The Santa Ana winds are blowing pretty strong - I could live with that, but I just let the dogs out and the smell of fire is pretty strong and ash is in the air again this morning 
URGH! |

Rep Power: 0 | | ugh, I hate forest fire season! I know what you mean about the smoke. We're surrounded by forest, and a few times we've almost lost our little paradise here. If the smoke is hard to breath, you probably aren't going to enjoy yourself. |

Rep Power: 83 | | Good morning T2, Mike & Kdel,
You're all right, the smoke didn't make for a good walk - I did get 5 in for a total of 58.37 minutes...but my lungs can definitely feel it.
Kdel, I'm in South OC, in Rancho Santa Margarita area - you are MUCH closer to the fire - the smoke must be terrible
T2, your times will improve...when I first started walking I didn't really care about the time, I set out to walk 2 miles for awhile, then 3 for awhile and slowly built up my distance to a daily 5, then went for bettering the time. I still look at Mike's 5 miles in 45 minutes with AWE!!
OK - I'm off to hit the shower and weigh in for the Halloween challenge...I'll post back once before I leave but then I'm gone until around 5:30 tonight. |

We also had another fire about 5 miles away from me, in SJC - but they got it out quickly.
No, I don't walk a park, there's a main road that I walk. It's one of only two ways out of this little valley so it might as well be a freedway! Quote:

Have a great day! | Thanks Mike, I did drink a lot of water today actually - about 120oz - the smoke definitely does a number on the body. Meg's swim practice was cancelled today. Quote:
