Ohio Humidity

Tough to walk tonight the humidity is so bad it's not really hot outside but the humidity is bad. My dog didn't even want to go.
I walked late and in the neighborhood so nothing too exciting tonight. My daughter Amy is on a different schedule at school this eight weeks so she has not been walking with me. Hopefully we will get back on schedule soon.

Home Sweet Home!

It sure is good to be home. Two weeks is a long time to be gone. Especially from the conveniences of your home. Vacation was relaxing. I didn't get to walk as much as I would have liked to. We had to drive to places to walk. There were some beautiful places but they were about an hours drive. The first walk we went on was at Iroquois Point it was along the beach. The weather was great and the breeze coming off the water was wonderful. It was 4 miles round trip. We also walked at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. We walked from the lower falls to the upper falls. It was 5 miles long and I had a tough time doing the climbing but I did it. Phoebe my dog loved it. We let her off the leash and she could run back and forth.
We also walked along the road where we were staying but there was no shade during the day and it made for a hot walk but I usually got in 3 to 4 miles walking to the store or the end of the road.
I did gain a little weight about 4 lbs. Not enough walking and way too much eating. But I'm home now and it's time to buckle down and get serious again.

Friday the 13th

All said and done this Friday the 13th wasn't too bad for me. I did great on the walking part but messed up on the food part. I walked 81 mins today. The weather was great and I got my walking done early in the day with my loyal dog Phoebe. But then my husbands cousin came in from Cincinnati and I had a few too many cheese and crackers, a piece of peanut butter fudge and Chipotle for dinner. Not the greatest way to start off my vacation.

Great Ohio Weather

Today was another beautiful day. I wish the weather would stay like this all summer. I'm sure it will be like this in Michigan it usually is. I walked this afternoon with Phoebe. She had to go to the vets today so it was like a reward for her to walk this afternoon.I feel really bad when I don't go early enough.

Vacation around the corner

I am getting ready to go on vacation at the end of the week. We are going to Michigan for 2 weeks to a fishing camp my husbands family has gone to for 50 yrs. We don't do much fishing but it a great place to chill and relax. We have a boat my husband will go out fishing a couple of times but nothing too serious. He fished a lot more when my oldest son Bryan went with us. We do plan on walking quite a bit maybe even around Mackinaw Island. Bob ordered a book on hiking so we should find some decent hiking trails. There's no internet in camp and no iphone service so I will be lost for awhile. I will still try to write my blog and post when we go to town or when I return. I walked by myself tonight. I didn't leave early enough so Phoebe didn't go with me. She can hear those fireworks. By the time I get back from vacation it should quiet down I hope. I was able to walk pretty fast without her and the weather was nice and cool tonight.

Phoebe before dark

Sometimes getting my walking in takes real effort on my part. Today was very busy and it rained on and off all day. But after dinner I did walk for about a hour and a half. I tried to go early so my dog Phoebe would go. They're still shooting off fire works in the neighborhood and she can smell them the minute we step outside. But I went early enough tonight. When I go early we run into all the neighborhood dogs so it takes longer. She has to sniff each one of them. My pedometer quit working for some reason during my walk and I didn't realize it until half way through my walk so my stats are estimates tonight.

Good to be back home

Back to walking today. I got home from Cincinnati around noon today. After unpacking and some lunch I headed to the mall to walk. My daughter met me when she got out of school but I got a head start on her and walked the mall 6 times before she got there. We walked the mall 6 more times for a total of 12 times for me. Bob took Amy and I out to dinner. I stayed within my calories for the day so I felt great about that since I gained the weight I lost last week over the week-end.I ended up walking 2 hours today.
