2012 Lobster Dip

                                     
 Yup those crazy people were jumping into the ocean today. The air temp was a balmy 43 degrees and the ocean was boiling over at 45 degrees. It really was a very decent day.


Gary and I attended but obviously did not participate.

Before all of that took place I was up and out the door at 7:30 this morning. Part of my weightloss commitment is getting up and moving alot more. I tend to be a couch tater so sometimes I have to fight through that urge. Early mornings work best for me. I explored a trail that I have been wanting to hike for a little while now. I think it was about 2 1/2 miles with 2 majors hills. The second one I call heartbreak hill. It is long and steep and is really just the road that leads into Gary's development. It literally takes my breath away. I am getting stronger though. I marched up the hill with no breaks. I was huffing and puffing when I crested the top though. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is looking out their windows and checking out my silliness as I trudge on by. I had a major case of "I think I can" going on up that hill and I'm sure it could be quite entertaining to any onlookers.

Did you know that Weight Watchers has a pocket guide that outlines the point system? It gives lots of examples of how many points any given food item is worth, I call it my mini bible. I wouldn't go anywhere without it these days. I am thumbing through it all the time but every once in awhile I will see something that I had missed. Today's catch: Ostrich (cooked) 3oz- 3 pts.
