Well I just got back from my walk with my new Ipod and I added on my 3 extra blocks. I went a total of 14 blocks in about 35 minutes. I really feel a bit silly about neglecting this as I know I burn about 350 calories walking that far at that pace. Not only that I kick up my metabolism. Remember my goal was to hit that 210 pound goal by my 40th birthday. I think that may be unreasonable because I did that math and I'd actually have to lose those last few pounds at a faster rate than I lost my first few pounds--Oh well. I find myself not too disapointed. This is a journey and even if I lose 2 pounds a month, at this time next year I'd still be so much better off than I was last year. I am excited just thinking about how much better I'll look and feel when I lose another 10, 20, or 30 pounds.
Look around me, I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way it used to be
I am older now, I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started long before I did
By the way, I did take the job. I called today and accepted the offer. No more money, but this summer is going to be the summer of me. I don't think its a coincidence I lost so much weight in the week I was off school.
