I've received a lot of response from my last post. It's amazing when you put yourself out there and others respond positively. Thank you all for your support. I can't thank you all enough!

I made some healthy muffins last night. There isn't even any chocolate in them! I took a recipe for fruit and oatmeal muffins and kinda made it my own. They're pretty tasty. Plus I added flax and wheat germ so they're high in fiber.

I've had quite the eventful morning. I woke up at 5:15, got ready and had a couple minutes left before the bus arrived. Only it arrived a couple of minutes early so I missed it. I started walking to Fallowfield and saw the most amazing thing...an owl! Okay so, maybe not so amazing to most of you, but I've never seen an owl outside of the zoo. He was magnificent, his wing span must have been 5 feet. He was huge and so beautiful. I would have missed it if I had caught the bus on time.

I took the bus downtown and walked the couple of blocks to the gym. As I rounded the corner from Bank St to Queen St there was a crowd of people outside the gym. Apparently, the guy who has the key never showed and was unreachable! The gym normally opens at 5:30. I got there at 6:30, I only waited around fro 15 minutes and decided to drop my stuff off at work and take a walk.

The plan was to do my 5 km anyway. I did not make my 5 km, but I managed 4.2 in 45 minutes. Plus I walked to the bus station, so I've walked a lot today. Who knows I may end up walking home from the bus station again. I've walked either to or from the bus station 3 times so far this week!

Walking: 1.18 miles / 1.9 km
Walking: 2.6 miles / 4.2 km
Total Walking: 3.78 miles / 6.1 km

Good morning everyone! I've been without the gym since Monday, which is too bad because I was off to such a good start! Riley developed a fever Monday night and wouldn't sleep unless she was laying on me. Needless to say I pretty much didn't sleep Monday - Wednesday. Wednesday night was better, but I'd been without sleep so long it still wasn't enough. Last night was a much better sleep.

This morning I was determined to put in 5 km and I did it! I still can't believe it 1 hour and 5.1 km later I did it! I walked of course, but I did manage to jog a few minutes near the end so I could make it to 5 km in 60 minutes.

I'm so proud of myself! I even lost a pound this week and I must admit I have not eaten well. But I have managed to find ways of keeping active this week. Wednesday night I was home early and took my kids for a long walk. Thursday I started work early and helped move office supplies for over an hour and last night I walked home from the bus station.

An addition to my Sorry Blog from Monday:
This morning I noticed that it isn't just me who says sorry. I wish I could set up a tape recorder for a day and count how many times women say sorry. It is quite the epidemic. I myself said it only once this morning when I almost collided into another woman.
