I am ALMOST there. The big goal for me right now isn’t a jean or dress size, but breaking that 200lb mark. Man, it’s been YEARS since I was below 200. Shit I can even remember the outfit I was wearing! It was 2006 and Mike was in Kyrgyzstan. Think I dropped to about 192. That was the last time. I’m so so so so close now. I’m just about back to normal foods – there are some I still avoid like the plague (sweets/sugary, fats, fatty milk) but I stay at about 4 oz of food and eat my protein first. I feel fantastic, especially after today!
Walked 3 miles in 1 hour! It is so weird walking that fast! When I started walking after my surgery, I was managing maybe about 2.3 mph at the fastest and that was hauling ass for me. I used to walk SO slow, I knew I did but I had no idea how slow it really was. I was always pulling on Mike or Catherine, asking them to slow down. I would ask Mike why he was walking so fast and he’d say sweetly, “I’m not, babe, you’re walking kinda slow.”
Oh.
Yeah, I was. 3mph felt a little fast at first, but I’ve been trying to maintain about 2.5 walking in the neighborhood and that’s gotten so much easier that pumping it up to 3 was nothing. Hell, I pushed it up to 3.2ph during my cool down, which really isn’t a cool down – I realize this, but I wanted to get the 3 miles within the 60 minutes. I did it in 61 minutes and 11 seconds, but SAME THING! Whew! My thighs burned and I might be getting blisters with my new shoes =/ but it’s worth it. I feel fantastic!
