I have so much to talk about today! First things first, Wednesday I didn't do any exercise and was in general feeling sorry for myself. I started my period, was cramping, and wanting ice cream so bad. Ever since I heard of the evil 5 ingrediant brown sugar haagen dazs ice cream, I keep thinking about trying it. I didn't, but anyway.
Yesterday, I ate really nicely and walked 3 miles on our road. This time we went the other more hilly direction and walked much more, about an hour and a half. I was defiantly huffing and sweating up the hills. I really love walking in the evenings, the weather is nice and so is the scenery. There are very few cars and the cows are nice to talk to.
On our walk we came up with several reasons why it is good: 1) when you are tired you can't just get off the machine, you have to get home somehow 2) no gas to drive to the gym and no energy used from a machine 3) hills! 4) nicer view and atmosphere 5) doesn't get as boring and no clock watching
Other than walking outside I am really happy about the following:
The 3/50 project which I write about here.
And black beans! Oh my I love black beans!
This was today's breakfast/lunch: 350 calories, 14 grams fiber, 24.5 grams of protein, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol. Awesome. I added about a tablespoon of red taco sauce, and about 1/2 oz of Amish butter cheese.
I have weigh-in tomorrow and I'm strangely excited.
I totally agree with the reasons why walking is so good!
good job on the walk. I talk to the animals too. No cows, I’m in the city limits, although it’s not “in” the city, it’s on a lake outside of town. But lots of squirrel, deer, cats, and dogs. I have a faithful little dog that runs with me everyday, and he isn’t even mine. Good luck on the weigh in, it will be great.
Seriously, brown sugar ice cream? I wouldnt dare buy a pint, I’d eat it in one sitting. Good for you for not caving in on the ice cream. TOM cravings can be evil
GOOD FOR YOU!
Sounds like you’re doing really well!!
I wish I had someone to walk with! I’m jealous…my main reason for not exercising is how BORING I find it!
Your outdoor walks sound fabulous!
What is amish butter cheese? Sounds interesting!
Good for you! Weigh-in will be awesome tomorrow… that’s why you are excited! =-)
I love just leaving my house and walking. I can’t go more than a mile without hitting a big hill. Since I’ve walked everywhere nearby, sometimes I get in the car, or even on a bus or a shuttle and go to a new neighborhood. Because it’s so hilly, there are lots of pathways and stairways that go between the houses, and it can be very pretty with gardens, etc. Sometimes I walk a few miles, take a bus home. Sometimes I take the ancient doggy upstairs. Walking is sort of meditative in a way that kickboxing or step just is not.
