I went for a great walk this morning at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. This is becoming a bit of a Sunday tradition, even when it's hot....if I going early in the morning it's not too bad. Today while I was walking my brain was just racing away. I was happy because of the scale, I'll talk about that later; but I was also happy because I was walking at a good pace...faster that normal and it felt good.
I want to do a color Run in April (don't know exact date yet)...but as I was walking today I felt like I'm ready to start doing the C25K (couch to 5 K)...I downloaded the free app last week. There is a paid app, not sure if it's worth the .99....will ask around. Last time I used C25K, it was just a podcast....that how long ago that was! I do think I need some better running shoes before I start that though, current shoes are OK for walking cute Nike's that were are sale at Kohl's. But with my foot and bone history; I think I should go to Run on and get the best one's for my needs. There is also Kacy's run at the end of March...it's a fund raiser our district does for the special Olympics. I've just done the 1 mile walk in the past...but this time I'm going for the 5 K.
I finally got to participate in a challenge for Fit-bit. A Facebook group I'm in is beta testing...I just got access this week...first few challenges fill up fast. Am in a weekend warrior one now; it is fun and definitely adds some extra motivation.
I had a frustrating week in the weight loss department, I guess I hit a bit of a stall. I was used to losing about a half a lb a day...then bam...I lost almost 3 lbs in a day...well I guess that was a fluke because the next day I gained 4...then down 1.5...up 1 all week. This morning I was down to 181.3...which is were I was when I had that 3 lbs in one day lost. My husband said don't weigh everyday if it is stressing me out...I feel like I need to to know where I'm at.
