Practically skipping today

Well, yesterday's weigh-in was a tad disappointing, likely thanks to a Friday night pre-scary movie indulgence of Roscoe's chicken and waffle, (I got my usual Carol C -- chicken breast and waffle).  

I gained 2.7 pounds. While the waffles may be to blame, the timing of the weigh-in may also have been less generous than I had hoped.

That said, I've had a hoot getting back into the swing of things in terms of exercise. On Saturday, I got pumped up at my club's hourlong cardio lifting class. 

On Sunday, it was a quick bike ride to the Eagle Rock mall to weigh in  and then a leisurely walk to the Galleria to pick up a few items at Target -- and see a movie, George Foreman grill in toe. 

Today was a stellar day, indeed. I spent a lot of my day moving, which was fortuitous. Movement yields endorphins. Endorphins lift you from the downers in life. 

From walking to wailing on the air, I got a good rush of much-needed endorphins. 

And, I managed to walk nearly 20,000 steps today!! By the time I got to work, I had already walked 10,000 steps.
