Update on the Miracle Mile

I am pleased to tell the ENTIRE world that I have done the Miracle Mile every day for 7 days. I did not do it today, though. But I have a really good excuse, um...I mean reason. Tonight was supper club. My dear friends, the host and hostess, hired a dance instructor to teach us to swing dance! Sooooo, instead of walking the Miracle Mile, I danced my little tush off for about 45 minutes. Surely that will take the place of the Miracle Mile today.

And I am ALSO pleased to tell the entire world that I lost not one pound, but TWO AND A HALF pounds this week! YEAH!!!! I didn't make many changes to my diet this week. For example, H bought a cheesecake to serve as dessert for his meeting Monday evening. Instead of letting that go to waste, I did have one and a half pieces of eat during the week. I could have done without that. I also had a REALLY stressful day yesterday, so H treated me to a small blizzard from the DQ. I could have done without that, too. I did live without a Starbucks this week. YES! I also opted for Subway (turkey and bacon on whole wheat) instead of my numero uno favorite Mexican.

This is not going to be a diet blog. I just wanted to share some good news.

Want some funny school news? I know I said I wouldn't share any more school stories, but this one is funny and I'm sure if his mom stumbled across this blog, she wouldn't mind my sharing. Yesterday was award's day, so I dressed up and took heels to change into right before the ceremony. As my kids were lining up, I just slipped them on. I didn't think to tell them I was changing--why would they care? As we were walking toward the stairs, I overheard one of my boys (he's only seven--keep that in mind) say to his buddy, "Mrs. Benson should wear heels more often. She's got a set of legs!" I busted out laughing. Out of the mouths of babes. (Just for the official record...I do have a set of legs--fat, dimply, short, and not of the attractive variety!)

You rock, girl! Good for you for being so faithful with your exercise and I definitely thing your dance session qualifies as a workout! Super that you are already seeing some good results.

You had me LOLing at the "legs" story!
