My knees have started to ache-from all the lunges and squats-so I decided to actually take the scheduled “rest” day that shows up every 2 days in the EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge.

That doesn’t mean I sat around like a vegetable all day. The kids had their field day at school today. (Yes, I know, my kids don’t get out of school until next Wed). I decided to up my activity level by walking the 1 1/4 mile to the school. Of course I had to do the same on the way back!

Then right around dinner my weight loss buddy Cherie called me-she had an hour while her teenage daughters were at piano lessons. Did I want to go for a walk?

So we had a nice brisk 1 1/2 mile walk, as well as a long overdue chat.

I call that a pretty sucessful day.
