I hope you don't mind if I put down in words ...

... that I've walked one hundred miles already this year.

Er ... exercised the equivalent, anyway. I still feel kind of funny about that. I'm counting 15-minute increments of aerobic exercise as 1 mile.

Maybe I should change my goal for the year, I don't know. Right now I'm aiming for 3 miles / 45 minutes a day. A few times I've exercised twice, because I've done one video walk and then later walked again so that The Grand Lunar and I can exercise together.

That's really the more exciting part, The Lunar and I have been exercising together in the evening. He rides the exercise bike, I jog on the rebounder-thingie, and we watch movies. It's a double-whammy, not only do we get exercise, but I don't fall asleep watching them! LOL!

I have walked 22 miles -- 36.67% of my goal of 60 miles in Feb!!

Oooh, here's another good thing to report. I'm really liking my healthy eating program, and I'm doing pretty well in my 28 days On Program February Challenge to myself. The part I like best is that there are days like yesterday where I had a few potatoes for, I guess it was brunch, a really late breakfast. And then I had a huge salad, the kind I like with buckwheat soba noodles and a peanut sauce, and then I had soup and bread for dinner and ate probably more than I should have eaten of homemade, whole grain bread ... so this morning I woke up thinking boy, all that bread, how could I NOT gain a bunch of weight? But I didn't, my weight is still slowly slipping down, down, down. I'm almost to the 15 lb mark (down from my highest) ... I love that feeling of "wow, I ate a lot, maybe too much, of foods I enjoyed" and have it not count against my weight on the scale.

In unrelated (to this health entry, but related to this moment in my day) news, I had a dream last night that I was a camp counselor for about 30 teenage girls. There was a camp schedule, so I expected the girls to know what they were supposed to do, and do it. They were supposed to clean up their cabin and get some things ready for the day's activity, which was a long bike ride in some exotic spot. But the girls woke up and just monkeyed around. They didn't come for breakfast on time. They didn't do their cabin chores. And at the last minute I was scrambing around trying to help them get ready, and scolding them for not doing their responsibilities. Um ... there's a dream that doesn't take too much analysis to figure out, eh?

Lastly, I didn't make the finalists in the Share The Love Blog Awards, but that's okay, I didn't expect to. I'm just all warm and fuzzy that you like me and keep coming back. You and the spammers. I've got all I need in that.

Well, really, I have all I need in Christ, and you guys are just icing on the cake. But you know what I mean.

But go ahead and vote for some finalists in that thing. There's one for blog design that's all green and pink, I'm rooting for that one.
