Moving Along

It’s been a week since I last checked in. Let me tell you, I walked last night. I walked 70 minutes, and my feet are telling me that 50 minutes would have been just fine! Does it get easier? I notice some days when I’m out and about, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been walking at all! Yet, climbing stairs, I really feel great. I think it’s the hills we’ve been climbing, which is building those muscles in the backs of my thighs.

My legs are still just as chubby and aren’t getting leaner. My scale hates me, and yet I’m still walking. I know I need to. I don’t like it anymore, but I’m still plugging along. Maybe one day I’ll get up and like a merry maid skip about that I get to walk again today…but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

What happens to the metabolism keeps going all day long? What happens that everyone and their brother suddenly drops 20 pounds because I’m walking, but I gain 3? What’s that crap about? I’m still walking…begrudgingly, but I’m moving.
