I walked 120 minutes today.
Sorry I've been so quiet and not very supportive. I'm going through a hard time right now and am trying to get my act together. I'll be back to talking soon. :-)

I still need to do my log. Did a walk tonight for 60 mins. I think we are going to do a dog walk tho still, we'll see. I have walked everyday except Sunday. I hate missing a day! It makes me so angry with myself!

Tami, it's ok. I have felt a little down too and have been going thru some stuff. Just hang in there. If you need anything, we are here for you!

Well, I fell asleep before the dog walk so we didn't go haha. I have lost my pedometer and I miss it! I am adding distance but have no clue as to how far I am walking now. I do things like walk from one side of the street to the other in a zig zag pattern to give me more distance especially at night, and I want to stay close to home.

So far I have reached my goals. I walked 45 minutes on Monday, Tuesday, and today. So that puts me at a total of 135 minutes for the week.

I made it 120 minutes today. I had to stop and buy a rain poncho since I hate carrying an umbrella and I really dont want the rain to stop me from walking. It sure was hard to push myself out the door though. Gloomy, rainy weather makes me want to stay home and mope.

I still need to do a log haha. I did my walking today before noon, and it was great to finally be able to see where I was going. I am starting to see that I basically look exactly the same to myself. Even in the jeans I still have so far to go! So, it's ok, I am not complaining, I am just accepting that I need to still keep going and not let up. I think I am making some strides but it's just a little overwhelming to realize I still need to lose 90 pounds to get to my goal, and my abdomen is still huge at 47 inches!!! I guess I kind of feel like how did I let myself go this far? I know it's taken me at least 15 years to get here from 197 where I was in January 1996, and I sure hope it doesn't take that long to get back there! But, it takes what it takes I guess. If it were easy, everyone would be thin!

Yeah, I get that way too when the weather's cold or bad, and I have a hard time getting going. But usually I end up loving it once I get out there! I love walking in the rain, but I don't like cold rain! I think it's going to be challenging for all of us in all of these challenges to keep up with our activities with the bad weather ahead. It makes it better for me to think that I am not the only one outside walking and some of you have the very bad weather compared to us!

Hang in there Tami! You are doing marvelous!
