Good walk. A bit sore but what the heck! It will take a few weeks for me to get back in the groove. The weather is warming up so I don't walk until 6 pm. I may have to make some changes in how I do dinner. It will interfere unless I cook before I walk.
.

Nicee day!

.
I had a wonderful massage. The calves were really sore but I know I needed them "kneaded" so I did my slow breathing and felt much better afterwards. I am ready to rumble as my friend Linda Wellman always says!!! Tomorrow will be a walking day!
.

Break time...and yes, I broke my plateau

.
Weight - 159.5 lbs.
.
FBS - 118
.
I am taking a break from walking for a few days while my blisters on my foot heal. (Not heel!)
.
My blood sugar can easily be attributed to the big mac, large fries and large choclate/shamrock mixed shake I had for dinner last evening! I am not proud of the FBS but I really was satisfied after eating that meal. Back to eating better this week. I indulged for a while!
.
I am pleased that my weight has broken the 160 lbs mark. It was just the incentive I needed to move on...though, I won't be walking 47 miles each time I need to break a plateau!!! LOL
.

Mood - accomplished, very accomplished

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.

Tick, tick, tick

Random blood sugar - 94

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!

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!
