Sorry this post is so late today. I got finished exercising early in the day, but I procrastinated blogging...lol. I changed my background again...if you were having problems, does this help? I have already gotten 1 no, so this isn't going to stay, I just want to see if it helps any of the other problems.
This morning I walked my 2 miles and including my warm up and cool down, it took me 45 minutes (511 calories). Today this scary looking roidhead in his truck coming my way, started honking at me when I was about 1.5 blocks away (had to have been me cause I was the only one on the road--no other cars or anything and that road is just walls from side to side, no houses you can see). He turned down the street in front of me (at this point I was a block away), he stopped and got out, leaving his truck still running! He walked to the corner and looked like he was ready to scrap. SO SCARY. I just prayed that he wouldn't mess with me at all or say anything to me. God was listening cause he must have mistaken me for someone else or something, cause when I got close enough, he didn't say anything--didn't even look me in the face. When I passed by him, he was in my personal space, that's how close he was. I kept looking at my shadow cause I was so afraid this guy was going to do something bad. I high tailed it out of there faster than Hal and Phoebe put together (if she was a speed walker). When I came back that way (I walk 1 mile and turn around and go back the same way) he was gone. *whew* That's why I burned like 100 more calories this morning instead of my usual 400 or so. That got my blood pumping!
Today was a really nice day. It only got up to like 95ish, so I knew I wanted to go for a long walk with the Monkey Boy. Around noonish we left the house (not even 90 yet!) and I planned on walking 5.5 miles, but when I got to the point where I can go an extra mile, I decided to just go home. I walked 4.5 miles in 90 minutes and burned 1090 calories. Today was a high day on my calorie cycle, so that's a good thing :).
All in all, it was a good day, despite the crazy douche... lol
See you guys tomorrow! Hope you made today count...if not, make tomorrow count!
I can do this. I am a star.
