Yeah!  I was able to get this banner here!  I'm learning a little more computer stuff every day! (I just can't get my pics here yet).  I'm also walking more... which is the point of this banner! 

My husband and I bought "walking" tennis shoes on Saturday!  And it was "tax free" weekend in Texas too.  Everyone gets a tax break for the back to school rush!

Now we just have to find time to walk! LOL  I'll keep going in the morning while the kids are asleep and I suppose he'll go in the evening.

I convinced our local YMCA to start a "home school P. E. program" so I'm praying our homeschooling families will have a chance to get fit together!!  (Pray that at least 5 or 6 families will join us). 

It's all about PRIORITIES AND WILLINGNESS TO MAKE CHANGES!  I've only walked about 8-10 miles in the past two weeks and made conscious changes to my diet and I was able to squeeze into a 9!!  o.k.,  so I'll keep wearing the 10's until they become much looser... but it did feel good!!  Two years ago I was wearing a 15-16, weighing 178-180! 

I found out that I can't "plan to walk tomorrow" or "later"!!   I have to STOP in the middle of something (a good book, t.v. show, blogging, or any other thing that gets me side-tracked)!  I don't even have to walk the 1.5 mile block, I can just walk to the end of the street which is about a 1/4 of a mile... by time I come home I've walked a 1/2 mile!!  I feel so much better when I do this!!  Then I make a tall glass of ice water with limes or lemons, take a shower, and put on some comfortable clothes ="house uniform" then I do some crunches and leg lifts!  IF IT'S GOING TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME!!

Don't have time???  Minimize this window NOW and hit the floor and give me twenty!!  Go outside and walk for 2, 3, 5 minutes.... JUST START!!
