Tuesday, August 12.
Before I got up this morning, and all day long, almost until dark, it rained. And it just didn't rain, it poured. We haven't seen this much rain in a frickin' long time.
I was not able to walk this morning at work. I did get my minimum goal of 5000+ steps today, but they were not good steps. I worked out on my balance ball and that's about all I got accomplished today. Not much moving. Not real happy.
And that's the end of today's story. Sorry. Pathetic.

Thursday - last work day of the week
Thursday was a pretty normal day. Same old walking and balance ball workouts.
I walked 1.82 miles in 34:37 minutes. Today was a rough day for the balance ball and actually walking also. It was tough to push myself today.
I'm wondering if I'm pushing too hard. I know that probably sounds lame, but does your body know when it needs some down time? I believe it does. And being my age, I probably need a bit more than someone in a younger age group.
Does that sound right? I need some help here.
So after work, I did not go biking. Everyone was asking why I haven't ridden my new bike yet and the only explanation I can give is that I'm beat. (and I had already planned my maiden ride for Friday)
Does anyone else ever get this way? I want to keep moving and in the "movement", get fit and lose weight. But when I get feeling like I did today, I fear that I won't reach my goals.
One good thing was, in the evening, I saw that I was only at 9100 steps on my fitbit. So I did step that up and cross the 10,000 step line. That made me feel good. That's a plus, right?
Tomorrow, maiden bike ride!

It's here!
So let's play a little catch up, shall we?
When I last left off, I was anticipating picking up my new bike on Tuesday. (just wait until you see the picture)
Tuesday was a pretty good, normal day. My morning walk was over 2 miles, nice! I walked 2.05 miles in 39.20 minutes. These walks are starting to rock.
Matter of fact, I had over 5000 steps before noon! That's awesome.
After work I am heading directly to the LBS. Can't wait!

Lakes, lakes, and more lakes
Saturday, July 26, 2014
I woke up a little late this morning (8:40am) and because of that, had no desire to ride along with throngs of people on the W&OD. (I've learned this already, that weekends on the trail are a mess.)
So, in order to keep with my "moving" philosophy, I decided to walk. I think walking is my absolute favorite pastime.
My house backs to a lake that has a path, but the path doesn't go completely around this lake. One street over, the path actually goes totally around 3 lakes. It is a gorgeous place to walk.
I walked 3.46 miles in 1:03 hours. And my legs felt a different kind of squiggly this time.
Oh yeah, have I mentioned that I also have a Fitbit One. This little piece of technology is simply perfect. I bought it about 4 months ago and have worn it every day since then. My goal, is 5,000 steps a day. Yes, that's low now, but remember, I have a computer job and sit all day long. Before 3 and 1/2 weeks ago, it was a stretch to make that goal. Things have really changed in the last 3+ plus weeks. This is my Fitbit from today, before noon! Amazing. (well it's amazing to me)
Here are my tracks and my friends. I was going to take pictures of all 4 lakes, but after Lake 2, my camera on my phone stopped working. I couldn't restart my phone because then My Tracks would be interrupted. Issues, issues, issues. It was an awesome walk and an awesome day!
