Project Walkabout: Jefferson Barracks County Park

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I decided I needed to make a little bit of an update to my wardrobe and bought about 9 maxi skirts in various colors. Of course I put some serious milage on my car criss crossing all over the place and would you believe that during my travels for one particular maxi skirt at Body Central, I had to go all the way out to South County mall. I also would like to take time out to thank the person or group of people who came up with the creation of spandex in clothing;) Especially for skirts;)

Walking Project: Tower Grove Park

Yesterday morning I decided I needed to get back into my Walking Project. So I after much thought I decided I was going to tackle Tower Grove Park. I driven past it from time to time. I didn't realize that it was so close to the Missouri Botanical Garden, which I had walked last year. So I decided to park in the Circle drive area in the center of the park so I could find my car easily.

#30WriteNow STL Lose to Win Fall 2012 Challenge: Week 5

This is how I'm feeling right about now

Today after work I decided to go weigh-in instead of tomorrow morning. I was bit anxious to see if I had made any progress on the scale. When I made it to my Curves destination I went in and waited my turn to get on the scale. I got on and looked away from the digital reader (which is what I normally do). The lady that was assisting, informed me that I was still the same. Still the same for almost 4 weeks. I won't lie, hearing that really has taken the motivation out of me. 

#30WriteNow STL Lose to Win Fall 2012 Challenge: Week 4

*So I decided to deviate from my personal goal today about using the word-prompts to write my #30WriteNowWriting Challenge blog posts and just count this post towards the challenge*

As you can tell by the picture above, I wasn't too pleased with my weigh-in this morning. I went to my designated weigh-in location and I went down 1 pound. So I've decided today I need to start a Food Log to see what is going on. I'm wondering if I might be working out too much as well as still not getting in enough calories and wonder if my body is going into a protective mode. I still enjoy my NutriBullet and make my drinks in the morning yet I'm wondering if I need to add more to my breakfast. 

Getting my Mojo back: Walking Project

I've decided as a project that I am going to TRY (huge emphasis on that word,) to walk as many of the different Saint Louis County Parks to add to my health regimen. It will give me a chance to see different scenery and will help with me not being bored. 

So I decided to do some research on my goal and came across the Saint Louis County Parks website. This site is WONDERFUL! It gives a break down of all the different parks in Saint Louis County and they even have a trail page so I can see ahead of time where I might want to walk and lets me know how many miles I'm dealing with.
