Okay. So I’m thinking I would like to lose 3-5 pounds, you know the “just because I want to pounds.” I’m not overweight or anything, I would just like to lose a few to get ready for spring and summer. If I had known how impossible it was to lose weight, I would have started last year! I learned in my health class today that in order to lose just one small, insignificant pound you have to burn 3,500 calories! Are you kidding me!?  I walk/jog 3 miles 3 times a week and was thinking if I bumped up my workout time I could lose those pounds easily… but I don’t come even close to buring that much, even combined! I also learned why it is easier for guys to drop weight than girls- that is the ultimate worst! Anyway, I just thought I would vent about that today. I guess I will try to go a 4th mile tonight to burn some more calories… maybe I’ll lose 1/2 a pound (since that would be such a huge feat!… not! )!

I doubt I will get a good workout tonight though because of our busy church schedule tonight and then we have to go to ... dreaded Wal-Mart.  Does anybody else loathe going there as much as I do? Its not that I don’t like going there, you can’t beat the prices, but I think I just don’t like being there. I would have to believe most WalMarts around the country are the same. Will and I can go at any time of the day and be in a hurry and still see 3 people we know who all want to stop and chat. Then you run into the crowded aisles and such “friendly” people, who- like us- just want to get their stuff and go but hate the world and will let you know it as they reach for the last box of cereal you are just DYING to have!  Did I mention these trips bother me?? Then, no matter if we have written our grocery list in blood and budgeted 5 times, “mysterious” items make it into our shopping cart because we “really need” them (like we need a root canal). Anyway, so that will be the plan after church- to go meet the rest of southwest Oklahoma at Walmart to get a few things. Maybe I’ll get to burn some calories rushing through the aisles to get home.

Have a good evening
