Day 4 of New Beginnings!

It's been an exceptionally rough week at work, but I'm not sure why. I stayed up way too late last night -- didn't get home til about 1:00 a.m. and then I just had to figure out what Beatles songs I'm going to do for my Burning Uke Beatles jam, different ones than I'd done in the past. Then I had to get my uke out and try them out and see if they worked! silly me. I think I got to bed at like 3am. this is not good.

of course I awoke late and had to rush to get to work on time. Then at lunch I had to drive to the bank to deposit a check I'd received in the mail... I didn't get much exercise in until I finally hit the Baylands tonight and even though it was later than usual, I still got a pretty good walk in!

and, between the Baylands and the walk up the hill tonight, I did get my 10,000 steps! let's see...according to this pedometer, I got 10, 247 steps in today YAAAAYY! :) and that hike up the hill is KILLER! even the dog looked tired when we got to the top, but we made it yet again! I was feeling it, though, let me tell you!

WOW, what a beautiful night!

I am in my happy place here! I LOVE THE BAYLANDS! :)

So tomorrow is another day of figuring out how to get my PA in. I'm kind of thinking of it as a sort of "game." what will I do? Oh I know! I'll walk to Chase Bank and deposit the rent tomorrow instead of drive. It's a good walk, but not too far that I won't be back from lunch on time. then I'll walk the baylands until the traffic subsides. this time I'll leave work right on time. and then later tomorrow night, I'll make that trek up the hill again. that 9.1 mile walk is in just a little more than a week! I hope I'm ready. I can hardly wait to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.

I know it's after midnight and I'm not supposed to eat, but I am STARVING. and I really AM. so I'm having an HMR oatmeal. just plan oatmeal with a little Cinnamon. I've been munching on some french grapes tonight too... I realized I really didn't eat dinner tonight - not a good thing. but I stuck with the plan! I'm thinking about the weekend and what I'll do... so I can be prepared.
