During lunch today, Nate knocked an almost completely full container of yogurt from my hands. Merchant was more than happy to serve on the clean-up crew.

8 months

Before the Great Yogurt Spill of '08, Nate and I went to the grocery store. Well, to be more specific, we walked to the grocery store.

Our grocery store, according to Google Maps, is exactly two miles from our house. I had decided that once it got cooler I wanted to try walking down there to see how it went. The weather has been so nice lately, so today was the day.

It went well, but I don't think it's something I would want to do every day. But it was great for a day like today where we didn't have anything planned and I didn't really have any errands to run. We walked down there, I was able to pick up a few things, and back home we came. So those four miles round trip, plus the two miles we walked/ran this morning, that's six miles we did today. Not too bad. Hopefully this will help kick-start the loss of these extra pounds I'm hanging on to.

I did use a few coupons today, but not too many as I was limited to the amount of groceries I could buy. So today I saved $5.40 with coupons. I can already see my new, lovely dining room table. The one that we'll be able to afford in 2015.

Six miles with a stroller!! You go girl. Makes my two little Sophie walks a day look kind of pathetic! (And I have been secretly patting myself on the back) I will be more inspired to get off the couch and the computer.
PS You already look like a super model.
Love,
Patti

Keep it up Courtney! I'm very proud of you since Matt has never been one to exercise. I love your self-motivation!! I know Nate loves to go, go, go.....
May I suggest swimming laps as another exercise variation. I swim for 45 min. 2x per week with a girl friend and we both feel great for a couple of 50 something 'ol gals! Works all your muscles with no strain or joint pain. Try it>>you'll like the results!!!
