Mark and I set out for a walk last Monday, set to do six miles. The dogs were with us, and I was excited. Six was a new milestone. But, when we got to the three mile mark, and had to turn around, I found a penny, heads up. That was it - we were doing the eight! We weren't doing it for time, just for mileage, so off we went. My work schedule for the rest of the week wouldn't allow me to do the eight before his birthday, if we didn't do it that day. We did it - got all the way to the 7R Guest Ranch. One the way back, we were doing an average of 19 miles an hour, so faster than my regular walk. Nice! Mark did say that his butt was sufficiently kicked. I could have gone more - thought about going all the way to the paved road! LOL! The puppies were tired, we hadn't told them what we were doing. Isis even made it, four month old that she is. They slept well for the rest of the day. That lucky penny did me good - I even got a job interview when I got home. Now, my next goal is to "run" two miles at a shot. I have to practice that. I can only run for two minutes at a time, right now - if my husband is tellin' me true (he lied when I was in labor - so, who really knows...). I kinda figure he is.
Now, about the gravity - Mark and I were laying in bed (not what you think - well, maybe...), and I was noticing that there were flatter spots on my body. I can't pull as much from around my back to my front. Mark was feeling the spots that I was directing him to, when I mentioned that I thought that all of the fat fell to the back. He told me that gravity was over rated. I loved that! So, while my weight is going down past 178 - on the odd day - my body shape is changing nicely. I would appreciate it if the weight started dropping off - really, I would - but, I know it'll come.
Bob! I love that you're reading this! I love that Olivia is doing the treadmill! I know I have nothing to do with it, but I so excited for her! She will kick yer butt - you'd better do what she says. (Do you hear me, Love.... it goes for you, too)
This would so much easier to update, if I had a Droid....
Sounds like you're doing great, but if anything, gravity is OVER-rated.
ReplyDeleteEvery year older I get, I find out that gravity increases, trails get steeper, and the air gets thinner.
I blame global warming. It's the only logical explanation.
