The Walk - Day 1!

Well Geez, I feel like such a dork. I love my bodybugg and wear it ALL THE TIME. I do this big walk to cure diabetes thing and I forgot to put it back on after my shower this morning. I know I walked at least 4 miles today.

We had a hard time figuring out exactly where the walk was, so we parked about half a mile away. We shared pulling the boys behind us in the wagon, which added about another 120 lbs to the whole exercise. The walk itself wasn't too long, about 45 minutes to walk, but I wouldn't call it a workout because I lost count of how many times we had to stop and go back for our 3 year old Ryan. The 2.5 mile walk was fun, so many people on the trail, it was great!

DH has some pictures to upload and I will include that here once we get it on the internet.

I need to make a correction: my starting weight is 227. Kind of funny, before I lost 62 lbs before I got pregnant with Tucker (8 mos), 230 was my set/plateau point and 250 was my absolute, "must go on diet" weight. Now, my comfort level has changed and I don't feel good at 227. I made it down to 191 and I want to get there and beyond.

Although a specific weight is not my goal, my intention is to burn unwanted fat. My fat % is about 32 right now and my goal in the next 12 weeks is to get to 30%.

More tomorrow!
