Chilling

Yesterday was a pretty much an uneventful day. I slept late even though Gary woke me up when he got up at 7:30. I was able to go back to sleep, dreams some dreams and woke up at 9:00. They say getting enough sleep is good for those trying to lose weight so you do what you gotta do.

After church we fixed lunch. Gary said we had some hot dogs in the fridge and I thought well I could have a couple without bread and some fruit. I discovered they were fat free so that allowed me to have one on a bun with a side of fruit and I watch a little football before heading out for a walk. I decided to take my camera along with me and shoot some fall pictures.

It was a beautiful day for a walk with a chill in the air, although I found out that I wouldn't feel that crispness as I kept walking.

I noticed quite a few people were out decorating their yards but the leaves really hadn't really started to fall yet here in our part of the Midwest. So I 'll continue to take my camera with me on walks as that change progresses. Sometimes it just takes a while just like with our bodies. I enjoyed my walk taking notice of my surroundings and charted my route when I got home and it was another three miles plus.

(Here's a picture of our backyard -- I guess the leaves that have made it to the ground have landed in our yard ... I guess Gary will be getting some exercise this coming week)

The other event of the day was to do something that makes me feel younger and better about myself ... that being, it was time to get rid of the grey. I take after my mother in that my first grey hairs came in my 20's. It just seems to be at my roots though. Like I said previously you do what ya gotta do. I hope I did enough to see the scale give me good news at my meeting tonight.
