Day 12 - Year 2010

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

TUESDAY 01/12/10

Slept in till almost 8AM. Yikes!

Went to the mall and had oatmeal at Starbucks. I love their Oatmeal with the nuts, raisins, cranberries and a shot of 2% milk. YUM! Great on a cold morning. I usually have it at home, but sometimes it’s just fun to have it out. Sat with my friends and chatted a while. After they left, I walked for an hour. Then did a bit of shopping.

Picked up a Senior in the afternoon and took to the Gym for their 2 hour exercise session. I came home in the meantime and paid all my bills on line, except water, which charges $2 a month to pay on line, so I usually drop it off.

I get annoyed, because these companies practically entice you to start paying electronically, then they try to charge you. Not about to happen here. I’ll just start mailing my payments or taking them (it’s only 3-4 miles from me). But I will not give them the satisfaction of paying them more money. Enough is Enough!

My broccoli & cauliflower plants are looking good. Hopefully they will survive this cold spell.

Walked 2 miles in 33 minutes
Walked 3 miles in 60 minutes
5 min of exercise bands
5 min of 3# weights

    I agree about having to pay extra to pay online. It's a rip off as it is actually easier for them. They are the ones who benefit the most.

We are still waiting for seeds to arrive here.

    You are a wonderful person...it is not everyone who will go out of their way to help other people...especially seniors. I think a lot of them are "forgotten" people, and that is really a shame. Keep up your great nutrition and exercise that you do for yourself...you certainly do know how to treat a lady!! emoticon

    I think it's fantastic that you help out the seniors. Let me know if there is a way I can help too.

Love to have some tips on growing broccoli and cauliflower. John and I love to garden, but are still trying to get the hang of the right season for the right veggie.

    You know you are part of the reason I started walking along with doing the WII Fit. The most convenient indoor is at work so that is where I am doing it right now. Just too cold anywhere else. Thanks for inspiring me to do more.
