Today started out with a trip to my mom's Curves. It was the first time that she and I had gone together that the owner was there, too. It's great when a mother and daughter work out together and especially see them having a successful experience with the Curves Complete program. Not only that, remember my mom is only 4 weeks out from having a total knee replacement. It was a Kodak moment. The owner of the club took our picture and put it on the bulletin board and the Facebook page. Here I am putting the picture here, too!
I'm 20 inches down and 20 pounds down,
my Mom is about 26 pounds down and about 26 inches down!
After that I met up with The Sisters. That's how I have to start referring to all of my fantastic sisters-in-law. (My husband has 5 brothers, 4 of whom are married and all to terrific women. Three of the sisters-in-law and all in town right now.) They were at a salon getting pedicures. By the time I got there, I was too late for a pedicure, but I had a nice visit. When they were ready to leave, I said I was going to go walking, and my sister-in-law, Erin, said that she would like to join me! Awesome! It was nice to have a walking buddy.
For today I had chosen to walk at the Jamestown Audubon Society. My sister had told me about it, and I knew it had at least 2 miles of trails. The area over here is referred to as wetlands; very swampy. Any swampy areas of the trail were traversed by bridge walkways.
When we finished this walk, I wanted to walk more. I hadn't walked enough, and I knew there was another walk not far away. My Dad had told me about an old railroad bed near the town of Akeley. Close-by and a relatively short walk, so it was a good choice. The terrain here is very similar to that of the Audubon Society.
At the end of the walk we were near some gigantic pine trees. I had Erin take my picture with the trees so you can see how big they are!
I'm nearing the end of my walking adventure! Only 2 more days of walking left!
Total steps today: 11,611
