It has turned off downright cold here in Illinois. Last night with the wind chill, it felt like single digit temperatures. Brrrrr! I don't do well with the cold. It makes my knees ache and I get what I call the 'heebie-jeebies' in my lower legs. The doctors call it 'restless leg syndrome'. Whatever ... it is very bothersome and sometimes downright painful. I feel like bugs are crawling all over and the muscles jump. It's pretty darn bad tonight!
Had the baby all day today. She's cute but my goodness she is a handful! She was into anything and everything. She would go toward something and when told "no-no" she would stop, grin, and continue on. A lot of up and down today and even a few extra steps on my pedometer! Guess having her today was good for something.
Where did the month of November go? Gosh the year seems to be moving along at a good clip. I'm definitely not ready for Christmas. And then my birthday and the new year! I still can't believe I've shed 100 pounds this year. Here's hoping I get rid of 100 more in 2006.
Starting to think of resolutions for the new year. I don't really believe in making resolutions, but do want to come up with some realistic goals for myself. I mentioned I joined the pedometer challenge with the NS100 group this past week. Target steps per day are 2083-2085. I'm proud to say I've hit that every day since making the committment! I'll report the numbers in my Sunday blog post, but I'm happy to be participating and encouraged that I am making progress.
Enjoy the weekend!

Last night my son and I were talking about our ideal place to live. The availability of a walker-friendly community was a prime consideration for both of us! Where I live now, taking a walk is taking a big risk - not a very safe area by any means. Also the weather works against us - I shouldn't be a big whiner but I don't want to walk when it's cold wet snowy icy, I need something more pleasant!
Hey Karon! Congratulations on the pedometer challenge! I will be joining the challenge too, thanks to a very dear friend!
Keep up the great work!
I'm so glad the challenge is working out for you, Karon. I just knew you would do well. Doesn't it feel great to know you made a 10% improvement in your steps for the week? I'm even taking the stairs more at work. All these little things will add up for both of us, I just know it!
Suzi...Girl, I hear you about the cold wet winter; bah! We lived in Florida for a couple years and there I complained about the heat. I think I'm just too lazy to get walking. I'm really trying to change the attitude about it though. Good luck figuring out a pleasant place to live.
Michelle...Woo hoo! Glad to hear you'll be joining as well. I look forward to it.
Valerie...It does feel good, Valerie. Every day I find myself checking the pedometer and doing a quick calculation to see where I'm at. I know my steps aren't a lot, right now, but that will improve with time and committment. Thanks!
