Knowing my limitations doing yard work

I've come to the realization, I'm going to have to work within my physical capabilities. Today was a prime example of using good sense. I pushed the lawn mower for 3000 steps and my knee feels all right. The Omron HJ-112 pedometer is easy to use with many great functions.
My knee started bothering me when I was pushing the lawn mower up the slight incline. I resolved that problem by mowing sideways on the incline instead of up and down. Boy, did that make a big difference. For this customer, I have my grass cutting area mapped out....my husband will do the rest. A win-win situation. I can still help him and be able to walk with little pain.
We went out for lunch when we finished. I'm sticking to my weight loss plan. For breakfast I had one cup of coffee, a bottle of water, and a bottle of Lipton Diet Citrus Green Tea. (I just can't eat in the morning) For lunch, I had a salad, half a grilled chicken breast, and half of a baked potato. I plan on eating the other half of my lunch for supper.
Friday I plan on weighing myself. It will make a week since my last weigh in. I don't want to be like my new puppy. My husband weighed her last night and she has gained over 3 pounds this past week. The previous week she had gained over 2 pounds.
There are still 203 days to lose weight in 2007....it's never too late to start....or start over as many of us have done.
