New Distance

So it is time for another post. Let's get the numbers done right away. Yesterday I weighed in at 467.2 lbs and that is up .4 from last week. I consider this a maintain. So let's look at what has happened since my last post.

Nothing real big as far as anything except for two things. First, on Sunday we went to a Wop party and pot luck. For those out there who don't know what wop is a quick overview. Frozen, cut up fruit, 4 gallons of fruit punch and of course bottles of clear fruity liquor. The sheer number of calories I took in on Sunday during the wop party between the wop itself and the food. So that is why I consider this a maintain week.

I have kept up on my walking and other than Friday (which I knew was not going to happen), I have walked at least a mile. Even though I felt like ass yesterday we (Myself, Nikki, the girls, Nikki's dad) walked 2.5 miles in about an hour yesterday.  This is good, it is the longest distance I have done to date. The weekend of November 5th, Nikki and I are working towards doing a 5k run/walk (I am focusing on the walk). That is just over 3 miles in a 5k. I want to get to the point of doing the 5k in about an hour which is just over 3 miles per hour. That is my goal and I think very obtainable. When I started this about two weeks ago I was walking a 32 minute mile. which is just about 2 miles per hour. The amount of increase in two weeks just amazes me. I am now doing a mile in about 20 minutes. So this helps me keep on keeping on.

I am noticing that though I haven't lost a ton of weight my clothes are fitting/hanging better. I personally feel better and want to exercise and feel kind of sluggish on those rare days that I miss. Things I don't like so much are that my knees hurt, that I am chaffed badly. I want to start listing the good and bad things as I go along to see how things change as I lose weight...so bear with me.

Finally, winter is approaching and I am looking for ideas/suggestions of exercises to do during the cold winter months that I hate. I don't like cold and refuse to exercise outside. SO thought and opinions would be nice in the comment section after this post.

Thanks for listening to me talk, I appreciate it world.
