Vacation

I walked and walked all over Louisville last week. It was terrific. I ate like crap, had too much beer, and managed to lose a pound! Yeah, me.

I did a power walk today. It has been awhile. It felt good. Back on track!

IPod Random

Walking today, I listened to my IPod on random. It was fun to hear such a different variety of music. I decided to only forward through Holiday songs. I heard music I didn't even know I had. I'm now listening to Weezer's "Buddy Holly Song." Great way to end the walk.

I Need a Break

So today I will closely watch my calories, walk around Ghent a little and rest my weary muscles. Tomorrow...it will be raining, so back to the gym for cardio and strength. Woohoo. I'll be back outside on Tuesday, hopefully.

Back Outside

I am so happy to be walking outside again. I hope I can continue working out in the great outdoors. I feel much happier about it. that's all for now.

The Gym

It is rainy and cold so we headed to the gym today. We are members of the Norfolk Wellness Center, which is pretty nice (and pretty inexpensive). I got a good workout, but would rather be outside. It was nice that Roger went too. I like to workout with someone near. It is some motivation. It is hard to walk with Roger, but I like it when we walk together. I wish I had a buddy that walked at my pace, but I don't and likely won't find one for the 7 weeks I will still be here. I'll just keep plugging alone!

Hot Today

Whew. I just finished my walk and am quite hot. This weather is messed up. I'm hoping for a few cooler days to work and work out before this heat stays. Ugh! I'm getting farther in the same amount of time. It is deceiving, because I see how far I've walked and realize I still have a long way to go. It is all good. I'm shedding water and fat. I'm almost 10 pounds lighter than I was 10 days ago. I can't ask for much more than that. I just have to keep it up. And I will.
