Took a great walk

Just got back a little while ago. I took a nice walk with my daughter and can't believe how energizing it is!

If you look to the right of this blog, you will see "My Workouts". It's an app from mapmywalk.com that shows my latest walks. I'm trying to attain a goal of 50 miles in a 30 day period that ends on the 27th so I'm pretty excited that I will totally surpass that.

I'm going to sign up for 75 miles in the next 30 day period. I know if I set the goal it will be something I will reach.

In the process, I am dropping weight, finally!

Anyway, if you walk, I highly suggest going to mapmywalk.com and seeing if it might be a place for you. I have a walking buddy in Canada through the site and I also share it with a few friends of mine to challenge and encourage each other.

Walking

I've been walking lately. ALOT. Being an artist is a sedentary lifestyle unless you MAKE yourself get up and get going.

After I had my kids, I lost 87 pounds just from walking an extra 5-10 miles a week. Now that I'm 17 years older, and have to lose the weight again, I'm finding it's not so easy. I have seriously cut back on my food intake, but I DO miss eating what I want. So, I am hoofing it again.

I'm also using a really cool website for incentive. It's called MapMyWalk.com. I'll be putting an app that streams my latest workouts here on the blog, too.

Please send me big huge amounts of positive energy. I am very uncomfortable with my weight and would like to feel light on my feet again ...

I hope you check out the site. It tracks alot more than workouts. It also tracks your weight, BMI, heart rate,water intake, even morale!
