Day 350 (day 7 / week 49)

I am so proud of myself today. I used to say "make it count" at the end of my blog posts, and I guess that kind of lost translation for me after I started working.

Today I made it count.

This morning I did 62 Wii minutes (took me like 2 hours though) focusing on strength training again (squats, lunges, ab work, etc) and then I did what the previous me (the fat me before this resolution), never thought that I would do. I walked to my mom's house.

It's like 7.5 miles (15,823 steps). I did it in 132 minutes (2 hours and 12 minutes). Boy, I thought my feet hurt yesterday and the day before... lol. I've walked distances like this at work before, but it's been spread out throughout the work day. Today I did it all in a matter of a few hours. Let me tell you, it's different.

It wasn't windy at all and it was quite nice (it's how it's been lately). I had the Monkey Boy bundled up, and I walked the busy streets of Las Vegas, all the way to my mom's house. I started to speed things up when I saw the sun going down and that I wasn't in a great area. I didn't think that part out too thoroughly. No one (including my hubby) thought I was actually going to do it. They should know by now that I am a different person than I was last year. Maybe this will prove to my mom that I have been serious the entire time and not just lying about my resolution (she thinks that anyone that says they do something that she can't conceive of doing is just lying). I would have laughed at the thought of doing it before. It's totally doable (if you tell yourself you can't do something--you won't). Now I can say that I did.

Make it count. You can totally do this, whatever this is!

I can do this. I am a star.
