I hope I don't shock you all, posting two days in a row, lol.  I had such a wonderful experience today and just had to share it.

I was reading forums this morning, a new pastime of mine.  The gal was talking about how her Surgeon told her that some bodies just cling to the fat, won't let it go no matter what, the less you eat the more it slows your metabolism down to let go of fewer and fewer fat cells.

He suggested to move, move, move to jog the metabolism into a new place it's not used to be and cheat your body from hoarding the fat and keeping you from dropping pounds.

So today I thought, we aren't going to the gym so I should do something so I

• Mopped the kitchen and entry floors
• Washed and dried four loads of clothes
• Filled, cleaned and emptied the dishwasher
• Dusted and vacuumed the common areas in our home
• Cleaned the upright fan, Paul's computer and our fake tree on the front stoop with canned air and dusters
• took the round circular rug out in the front yard and pounded dust out of it

Now you might say, well good for you Patti aren't you ambitious.  But no, you don't get it yet, but I did and it was all I could do to keep from jumping up and down and laughing out loud.  These things before killed me, I was so winded, the sweat was dripping down my face, I couldn't breathe and today, I didn't even break a sweat.  The good thing is this is the way it's gonna be only it's going to get better and better with every inch and every pound that goes!

Woo Hoo Scales you can be as nasty as you want, things they are a changin'!  And, yes, I'm still smiling!
