Beautiful Monday & Shout Out!

My back is feeling better today. I think the stretches and applying heat to it really helped.  I did a whole lot of nothing yesterday.  I did some light housecleaning but that was about it as far as motivation.

I was able to get 3 short walks in last week which was good. I want to do at least 3 this week but extend the route substantially.

Did alright on food too. Although I did not have my bugg on nor did I track my calories consumed.  I also forgot to take my meds yesterday. I retain water if I don't take the pills so I am feeling a little puffy this morning.

I have my appt. with Ms. R at 5:15 p.m. tonight. Hope it all goes smoothly and they accept my application. The hours are:

Monday through Thursday: 7 am - 7 pm

Friday: 7 am - 5 pm
Saturday: 9 am - 3 pm
Sunday: Closed

I want to alternate swimming there with walks in my neighborhood and classes at the gym. Some of my favorite classes at the gym do not start until 7:30 or 8:00 which is late for me. When did I get to be such a fuddy duddy...sheesh... I need to come up with a plan of action.

Miss Candy over at Melting Candy has bestowed me with a Beautiful Blogger Award. You are too sweet Candy!  The rules of this award are to tell you 7 things you don't know about me and to pass it on to 7 other recipients. So here goes on the 7 things and I will post the 7 recipients tomorrow.

1. I have two college degrees. I have an AA in Business Management and a BS in Business/Marketing.
2. I don't like war movies of any kind. I will change the channel immediately if there a gun battle of any sort on TV. This stems from my father having been shot in Korea. It reminds me what he must have gone through and that is not entertaining to me.
3. I started smoking cigarettes at 13 years old and I still smoke :-(
4. I started drinking alcohol at 13 years old and was arrested for being drunk in public.
5. I love to sing and have always dreamed of a musical career
6. I do not like to eat or drink anything that is blue except for blueberries
7. I think I am hip for my age - I make it a point to keep current with music, lingo and current events.

I wanted to give a big shout out to Jack Sh*t. He hit Onederland over the weekend!  There are 129 comments on that post. He must be feeling all the bloggy love! If you have never read Jack's blog NOW is a good time to start. Run don't walk over there and check him out.

Hope you all have a great week! Until next time...
