Appropriately named

Welcome to my blog.  Why did I choose to name it "WALKING MY A$$ OFF"?  Because when I was in my late teens, I watched my neighbor walk her A$$ off by walking an hour a day around the neighborhood.  Then I watched my godmother walk her A$$ off by walking on the treadmill.  These ladies shrunk before my eyes.  Their legs got thinner, their hips got narrower, their tummies flattened, and their A$$ES fell off!  Well, that was an impression that stayed with me.  And guess what?  They've kept it off.  When I recently weighed in at my all-time high, I decided that I had to do something.  I was walking like an old lady (I'm 44) and my knees hurt. Since my mom had her knees replaced, I figured it was in my future as well - unless I got the weight off.  So five weeks ago, I started walking.  Every morning.  I average 2 to 2.5 miles.  It takes 45 minutes or less.  I have lost about 8 pounds.  I have more energy and my knees hurt less.  I have so much more to tell you!  Every morning my brain goes into high gear and I have about 10 stories already outlined to share on this blog.  I will post once a week on Sunday.  So check back next Monday morning.
