Walking Provo - 41.73 total miles

So today I broke the 40 mile mark. Amanda and I walked 4.26 miles - a nice long walk, and I felt great (if a little sore) after. I'm a little (okay a lot) frustrated that after walking 40 miles in less than 2 months (39 miles more than I'd have probably walked before I started this project), and I haven't lost a pound. In fact, I may have gained one or two. I have to get my food under control. I keep saying that, but I'm having a hard time actually putting intentions into action. My genius train of thought has even caused me to consider taking up smoking again ("WHAT?" you say, and I agree with you.) I feel so gigantic, like my skin is actually tight on my body. I'm resigned for the moment to wearing only sweatpants, which are oh so attractive. Hrrmmmm. I think tonight, I'll spend some time cleaning out the fridge, and tomorrow, when I don't have Vin with me, I'll go grocery shopping. (Speaking of Vinny, here is a gorgeous pic of him).

It's not really snowing out now, and the snowfall from the other day is starting to melt, so walking outside is really pretty nice right now. We're starting to look at houses now online that might actually be a consideration for purchase. They're a little farther away from this town than I'd like, but we've gotta go where the budget allows.

Nicholas did it. Mat asked for one thing for his birthday (December 2nd) and Nicholas managed it for him. He said his first "da da"!!! ON Mat's birthday! He's also pulling himself up to a stand. I cannot believe how fast he's getting so big. In just one week, he will be 8 months old. And Vinny is a quarter of the way to 7. Unreal.

So, that's it for today, it's cold, but I walked anyway, and tonight the boys and I are going to the art museum for FREE Family Night. Mat's at work, and it's leftover baked ziti for dinner. Not a great weight loss dish, but it's what's in the fridge at the moment. More tomorrow!
