What a surprise.. AAALLLLLLL that food I ate yesterday and I LOST a pound.. WHAT?!?! I WILL TAKE IT!!

I did extremely well today with my walk...

103 minutes

779 calories

6.02 miles

I'm finding I'm racking up the mileage while I don't have the treadmill and I think that could be telling me something! besides the fact that I'm getting vit. D while I'm at it!

Have a GREAT day!

cheat day

I had a lil cheat day today.. I was DIEING for some donuts (Krisp Kreme) and then my mother in law made a GREAT lunch.. then went to swim at my sister's house. Had a great time..

My treadmill decided it didn't like me today, SOOO i had to kick in a DVD.. I got in a 2.25 miles walk before we went for the swim, I'm not counting the swim as exercise as I did more laying around than anything. This was the 1st time in YEARS that I put on a swim suit and still surprised that i did..

2.25 miles in 37 minutes and burned 311 calories..

will be going for another walk this afternoon so i will definately update when I get back

ok here are my total... I'm even SHOCKED

97 minutes

5.74 miles

795 calories

i'm super so excited.. especially since my treadmill is NOT working


Have a GREAT evening!!

I took yesterday off.. really no excuse but, here is my excuse lol! I worked a 12 hour shift and I. WAS. DRAINED..... period.. thank goodness my wonderful mother in law cooked supper so I was able to rest.

Today I didn't think I had it in me to walk, but.. got on there and

walked 5.5 miles in 90 minutes and burned 756 calories, PERFECT if i must say so myself! (there was no running involved, as i was extremely proud of myself!)

Hope ya'll have a Great Evening!

PS I will be weighing in tomorrow and i'm so nervous!

ouch are my legs SORE!

I decided to walk early today since my legs were hurting. I think it's from starting back to walking with a vengence. My motivation and determination are very high right now, as I really want to lose 20 pounds before I see my OB in a few weeks. I know I can do it.(or at least come really really close).

I had another great walk, although I really wanted to see the calories burnt up in the 700''s but it wasn't. So, later I may walk another mile or 2 later this evening, and if I do, I will definately update.

So my standings for now is:

90 minutes 5.1 miles 613 calories

again I'd really love to get another 200 calories burnt, but we shall see, I'm really happy with what I've done

Have a Good day!

AMAZING

Today was a very good day! I spent a lot of much needed time with my hubby. We went to a bar b q at the church and then went to a friend of ours lil girl's birthday party. I ate WAYYY to much, but I did come home and jump on the treadmill. I changed my routine and can I say it felt WONDERFUL!!!

I walked on 3.5 for a half a mile and then ran on 6 for 30 sec. and then went back to the walking for an HOUR AND A HALF.. can you say I was BEAT!!! But feel GREAT!!

90 minutes 5.5 miles and burned 733 calories.. WOOT WOOT!!!

accountability is a HUGE thing.. oh i couldn't walk yesterday cause dear ole Aunt Flo HATED ME!!! ha ha!

Have a good one!!!

A NEW DAY

I was sitting watching GAC this morning, and I started thinking about my lil bean. A friend of mine that I went to high school with told me, to pray that the bean prays for me. I never thought of looking at like that, since s/he is in my Father's Arms. Then my sister told me to imagine my neice holding them and singing a lullaby to them. (yes that brought tears to my eyes). The point I am making is this, God didn't give me what He didn't want me to have, SOOO...

A NEW DAY

I decided that I will walk every day, and build myself back up to where I was before the miscarriage. Yes, I said this before, BUT I now have people, FRIENDS, holding me accountable. :)

I do so much better when someone tells me to do something!! I have set a goal to lose 20 pounds before my NEXT vacation, which is July 8. EXACTLY, a year from my surgery last year, and YES it is attainable, and I know it is!

So, I'm going to TRY to post everyday on my blog, my feeling, and what exercises I did, and how long, starting today...


I walked 5 miles, in 90 minutes, and felt really good. may go for another walk later, if I feel up for it.

Thanks to each of you for supporting me!!

Much Love,
Leigh
