Yesterday, we went to two different Lowe’s stores in our area to get more stuff we need for the garage. Of course, I had my Omron pedometer in my pocket. (So easy to use…so light weight) I like that store as much as my husband. I’m always finding something I want there…even if it means putting it on a wish list.

When we were walking to the truck after the second trip, I looked at my pedometer. It was close to 10,000 steps. I usually walk between 2500 and 3000 steps during my day at home. I was surprised and pleased to see I had walked that much.

If it gets too hot or too cold, I’ll just be going to my local Lowe’s to walk. The aisles are nice and wide and pushing a cart takes some pressure off my knees. The concrete floors are exactly ideal but as long as I keep moving it’s ok.

So, if you are trying to figure out where to walk, try Menards (they have wide aisles too), Home Depot, or Lowes. When I lived up north, I use to find the malls kind of crowded and couldn’t walk as fast as I wanted quite often. Down here, there aren’t any inside malls close. I’m glad I accidentally found another place to go.

My weight loss plan for today is: no breakfast…..grilled boneless chicken breast, brown rice, fresh peas, and a garden salad for lunch….supper……will be the other half of my chicken breast along with a salad and some squash from our garden. When I feel like snacking today….I’ve got garden tomatoes already sliced and will also have so green grapes I bought yesterday. Of course, today I plan on drinking plenty of water.
