Day 214 (day 4 / week 31)

Today I got up pretty early and went for a walk. After I got home, we left and now I am at my in-laws house typing this.

During my walk, I thought I walked far. I walked and walked and went a different route than I normally do, so I thought I had walked much further. It took me 90 minutes (including a 10 min cool down) to complete and I assumed it was closer to 5 miles, if not 5 miles. I was wrong lol.

About 10 minutes ago I finally had the chance to map my new route, and it was 4.7 miles. That's .10 miles shorter than my walk yesterday, and I completed it faster then. *shrugs*. I didn't do the C25K training, because it is a break day, so tomorrow or Wed I will start up again, since on Tuesday I have to be at the hospital to sign paper work and get a chest xray for TB so I can start working right away (I will be doing the 2 parter TB test after I start since I will have had the xray).

I don't think I really have anything else to say. Yesterday was such an emotional day that I pulled out my guitar and played for about an hour or two and now my fingertips are sore, becuase my callouses have long disappeared.

OH! Wait! I do have something to share! I got on the scale this morning and it said 190.0. point zero! not point six or point 8, but point zero! Woo hoo! This is a big scale victory for me and i have been looking forward to 190 for 7 months. I knew that yesterday I would weigh a little more becuase it was my down day on the calorie cycling (another blog entry/goal). It makes sense.

I have a picture of the scale, but it's dark and you can barely see the 190. I'll take a new one next week when I weigh myself for the week (sparkpeople has me do it once a week).

Hope you have a good weekend.

Make it count. You never know what's around the corner.

I can do this. I am a star.
