Yes, I lost a few pounds today!!! Walking almost 18 hours can do that to you!!! I just had to weigh myself to see what a walk of this magnitude would do to my body.
.
I feel accomplished! I am psyched tonight! I did what I went out to do and achieved my goal of completing the Relay For Life entirely...walking all the hours allowed (we didn't actually start the laps until 7:15pm). I walked 234 laps and that was the equivalent of 47 miles.
.
I will take some time off to re-coop my muscles and walk slowly for a couple of days. Then I will be hard at work to achieve next year's goals, whatever they may be!!!

Today's the day...
.
Well, I'm in preparation for the next 18 hours (starting at 6 pm). I am getting my clothes ready and unfortunately, it may rain. There's a 40% chance from 6 pm until 3 am. So, I am getting my poncho out and several pairs of shoes. I won't walk if it's thundering and lightning but otherwise, I will.
.
I am prepared as best I can be and I just hope to have a nice walking experience. It may the start of more things to come.

Life is Good!!!
Countdown to Friday's Relay For Life is moving along. Nice even walking pace. Good finish time. And a great blood sugar. I had a great big brunch including a piece of chocolate ganache 4 layer cake to celebrate my BFF's monumental 50th birthday at about noon. With lots of water since, I am feeling fine and at 94, I think that my blood sugar couldn't be better. I'm over 200 miles for the year and that's 20% of my walking goal. Successful day and a full glass!

Countdown to Friday - Relay For Life

FBS - 97

My time is steady. It feels good to be close to 200 miles already. I have increased the sit-ups since they are "doable".
.
The weather has been nice these last two days. I need to workout with the machines at least once this week. My weight is staying in the low 160's still. I hope to see it lower by the end of the month below 160. That will be a first in many years!!!
.
The outlook for Friday includes a 40% chance of rain. YIKES!!! I am doing my dance to stop the rains until late Saturday night...or before 6 pm on Friday!

I wasn't in a good frame of mind for most of last week. I don't know why. It was also very windy and rainy Thursday, Friday and Saturday with barometric pressures changing frequently. I had numerous headaches and just decided to take a rest and not push myself. I didn't expect the fast time I had today but I guess that's what happens when you let your body rest and relax for some time. So, not all bad. I may have to rethink my walking schedule and goal. I think I might benefit more from doing cross training and not as much walking. I will think about it more before I make any decisions.
.
Tomorrow will start a new week for weight and FBS. I think everything will be in order. At least I hope it will be. This is my sewing and Bunko week so I will be out and about. I haven't been to my workout place so I want to try and go there, too. Friday is the Relay. I want to be injury free for that so I won't be doing any walking on Thursday.
