I discovered something new this morning. After a night spent tossing and turning and fighting for sleep, I cursed when the alarm went off but dragged myself out of bed anyways...got ready and left the house at 7:00am on the dot for a 2 mile walk to church. I did stop at Einstein's for a 260 calorie breakfast of plain bagel thin and reduced fat cream cheese, and a black coffee...but STILL arrived at church at 7:40 (just the walk normally takes 30-35 minutes)...
Here is what I learned from this...I didn't drag for a moment all morning!! Well, I did drag a little after the second service, but then I walked home and was re-energized. It was amazing.
For the day, I walked 4 miles and I also bowled the equivalent of 1 game (I was bowling as part of a tournament fundraiser) and I no where near as exhausted as I normally am. I am totally loving this extra energy. And I'm a lot less hungry too, which is helpful with the whole trying to eat better thing.
So in the last 6 days, I've walked on 5 of those days and have logged 15 miles in those 5 days...and average of 3 miles a day...no weigh in until Thursday, though...so we'll see what happens then.
Rock on, my friends, Rock on!!
