Just another day October 7, 2008
Today was pretty good. Weighed in at 205, got in an hour fifteen walk with Lucy, drank 8 glasses of water like it was nothing… so far so good. Still haven’t managed to wake up early. I wonder if I just need to put that one on the back burner until I get the exercise bike. I feel like I don’t have a specific commitment for that timeframe, and I know it doesn’t take me that long to get ready, and it’s cold in my house, and we just got a new bed and it’s so comfy and… more excuses? I’m sure I could come up with a few. But, really, I think I may need to rethink my morning crusade- atleast for now.
I have a whole bunch of home improvement projects going on right now, and normally I use my evenings when DH is on shift to get them done. But the last two nights? Nope. Made muffins last night and dyed my hair. Tonight? Biggest Loser and relaxing on the couch. I’ll probably give Lucy a bath when it’s over though- she’s smelling a big “doggy”. 
Dying my hair went well- sort of. The color ended up good, really good actually. But it was one of those in the box kist that came with highlights. Welps, it turns out I need someone else to do the highlights for me, I couldn’t get them done fast enough and so some are a little lighter than others. One rogue in particular. Damn hair. But, it’s hair, it grows.
Today was pretty good, until the end. Unfortunately I ended up way low on calories (like 1000 left over when I got to dinner) and then worked out on top of it. I couldn’t figure out anything that sounded good, and so I fell victim to the Donald. But, I only went 68 calories over my normal daily total, not including the 406 I burned in exercise. So, it wasn’t the best choice, but it did fit.
Walked through the meadow on our walk today, I’ve been exploring more and more of our neighborhood lately and I’ve realized exactly how close we are to the meadow. It was GORGEOUS. Thick grass and low bushes, a curving slow stream, peeks of late season wildflowers. There were dozens of birds of every size and shape, all singing their songs. We could have stayed longer (I was with a good friend on top of it) but it was getting close to dusk and I have no desire to experience coyotes up close and personal. I did find an adorable little sandy cove along the stream though, I’m hoping to get back there with a lawnchair and a book at some point.
Anyways… off to scrub the pooch!
where are you located? glad to see i have a fellow mountain girl here. i’m from the nc mountains… i don’t think i’ll ever get the “mountain girl” out of me. i love to hike and just be outdoors. wish i could do it for a living… boo.

kt-
I actually live in South Lake Tahoe. It’s funny to hear that you say the peak you’re headed to is at 6590, because I live at 6530ish, give or take. (At one point I lived at 7000… way too much snow!) Though I must admit, much of where I live feels very flat to me, probably because I’ve gotten used to it. But I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who loves my air thin and clean!
I LOVE watching the Biggest Loser! Did you watch last night? I think this season has been pretty nice.
Good for you on the water. I have such a hard time drinking my 8 a day.

I did watch TBL- though I hate when they split it in 2 episodes. And that challenge did not look any fun at all- bring back the slide!
Drinking 8 glasses is easy for me most days- I usually end up with 10-12 actually. A lot of that comes from living at high altitude though
