My friend and I have a little arrangement. For three months, we have to work out/walk/bike/etc at least five days out of the week. We have four (or is it three?) cheat days, for when we're on our Moon Time, sick, busy with work/school/etc. At the end of the three months we're going to buy one another cute t-shirts that we want but wouldn't buy ourselves. (I want the Communist Party t-shirt. It has Marx and Lenin and Co. at a "party" - beer and lamp shades and party favors. Get it? Communist.Part!)

So, for about two or so weeks (maybe it's been three. Damn... I hope she's counting because I'm not!) I've been doing really good. I've been walking to and from work some (most) nights, and the nights I don't have work I make my husband go on a walk with me. I'm averaging 1-3 miles a day, depending. Some of the walks are still hard on me, as I've gained back all the weight I've lost.

I really hate being at this weight. My body just doesn't feel comfortable. Anyway, the walks are getting a tiny bit easier, and it might be due in part by the fact that the weather is nicer so I don't sweat my balls off. Anyway, it's just nice to walk and be on a regular schedule. I'm trying to watch what I'm eating, too. So far not really counting calories again yet, but I'm trying to just start slow. Eat well and nicely, and then once I'm used to that, I'll start counting again.

I just have to tell myself - this is not a diet. These are life long healthy eating habits.

ps - cc plus confuses me.
