My New Deal

There have been a lot of changes around here recently. The house in San Diego that my wife and her sister have been trying to sell for 3 years finally sold a couple weeks ago. Yay! Marianne and I have been looking at houses in North County and the 250K to 350K price range has been heating up, especially relative to the 500K and up range. I couldn't change her mind about a house at the corner of Esperanza and Bliss (Hope & Bliss!) in Oceanside, but when the listing agent came back from vacation we heard there were already ten offers! So we start again tomorrow with our agent, David Diehl.

Friday afternoon I received my products from Garden of Life, so this is a disclaimer about BigManWalking. Garden of Life is now sponsoring my blog! I'll tell a little more about the two products, Diet 360 and RAW ONE for Men in a future post. You can click on the title of this post to see another product that my wife has been using for a while. It slipped my attention that Goatein was even a Garden of Life product. Our son really likes natural smoothies and we usually mix Trader Joe's European style yogurt with Goatein, bananas and frozen berries. He enjoys this at least two or three times a week and so do I if I'm not doing a high protein/low carb regimen.

Since I weighed myself Saturday morning I found that I had gained back over 9 lbs. of the 14 I lost. Be careful of the days leading up to the Super Bowl ("Well, I know I won't be good tomorrow, so I'll start early."), the day of the Super Bowl party and the days after ("I can get back in the swing tomorrow..."), chocolate and really rainy days. I was definitely not prepared for the amount of rain we had. More than once I said something like, "Honey, it's coming down in buckets. Let's not drive all the way to the YMCA in this mess." We're finally back to more typical San Diego weather as I was actually sweating during a simple mile walk earlier.

Today I started "writing" using Philips VoiceTracker while I walked. That should be a big help in walking more. My hope is that I won't affect the technology with perspiration. That, and encouragement from friends on Facebook & Twitter, is about where it's at.

During January I walked* 111.5 miles and I have walked* 142.25 miles in 2010.
