Valle de Allende, “Seremos”. Durante la noche del Primero de Noviembre

Un grupo de jóvenes y niños salen en grupo a las calles y en la puerta de las casas uno de ellos se acuesta, le tapan con una sábana y le colocan una vela encendida en las manos y un crucifijo en el pecho simulando estar muerto. Tocan la puerta, rezan un padre nuestro, un ave María y se canta la canció que dice:

Angelitos somos
Del cielo bajamos
A pedir limosna
Y si no nos dan…
(se hcen sonar sonajas o botes con piedras)
Puertas y ventanas
Nos la pagaran
Seremos seremos
Calabacitas queremos

Al finalizar el niño de la casa les entrega dulces, frutas y en ocasiones dinero.

So I started by walking from home to work and vice versa, and it looked like a great idea, but I was doing it more like a relaxing walk than a weight loss type of walk, also with the daylight savings coming to an end the afternoon walk translated into a walking in the dark.

Well, after that, I had to change the approach and got into a Precor Elliptical Crosstrainer Machine and was doing 2500 steps in around 25 minutes, that looked more like exercising; I did that the rest of last week, but this week I’m kind of busy at work so who knows what I’m going to do in order to get there.

Here are the facts at 24 days remaining and two pounds lost in almost 10 days: the task right now is to lose one pound per every four days in order to reach the goal, it still looks reasonable if I find a way of keep the exercise under this weather conditions.

I’ll keep posting the progress.
