Back in the saddle again...

After a yucky week emotionally and not working out until last night, I'm exceedingly happy to have lost 1 pound. Sorry it's been so long since I last blogged. I went out of town and then there was the inevitable catch-up, blah, blah, blah. I went on an 8-mile hike last weekend and I figured I might be a little sore since I've been walking in recent history 8 miles or so. But, the fact that I was hiking uphill and on a trail, stepping over roots, tree branches, etc., made a big difference, esp. to my legs. I looked like a 90 yo when I got out of bed for a few days, barely able to move. According to my pedometer, the day of the hike I logged about 18,000 steps. I guess that helped the rest of the week when I was dealing with my 17yo daughter leaving home for good. Within a week, my 20 yo and 17yo have both moved out. My oldest daughter wasn't a shock, although it would have been nice if it hadn't happened when I was in out of town. Gotta run for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend-don't eat too much candy!!
