Day 5...MANATEE LOVE!!

Today was beautiful!  After sleeping almost 12 hours I arose to make brunch for Jim and I, the I lazed around the house.  Jim had to force me to get up and get ready to take the kayaks out to the Manatee Park.  I resisted.  Despite my vow to move more, I wanted a couch day.  God bless Jim, he is persistent, he finally got me up and moving around and ready to go.  I am so glad he did.  We had a wonderful time at the park.  You kayak through the park's canal and then you end up in the Orange River.  There is an area there that the manatees congregate in to get the warm water runoff from the power plant.  We kayaked down the river a ways and stopped in a small cove that was teeming with manatees!  So amazing!

On a side note, while I was lazing around this morning on the computer I found some weight loss success stories on the Huffington Post.  After the first story you will see a box with before and after pictures that will take you to other amazing success stories.  Awesome motivation.

Well I am back to work tomorrow.  Ug.  Oh well, it must be done.  I think I will try to take the bike out for a ride after work if it is not too dark when I get home and I am going to restart the planking challenge.  I may have to modify it to work for me.
I will also be adding a tracker for my weight and measurements to the side bar.
