Now I feel better. I just did 2 miles on the dreadmill and at a decent pace. I was doing a 20 minute mile but decided to push myself tonight. I did two miles 36 minutes. I'll take it! At my peak I was pushing to do a 16 min mile. I'll get back there. I do better when I can walk outside. From the top of our driveway to the "main" road at the end of the neighborhood is 4 tenths of a mile. From the driveway to the end of our street is 2 tenths. I can do driveway to main road twice and then to the end of our street and back home for 2 miles. I'll have to start doing that when it warms up some. At least in the mid 50s. I used to love walking at night (in sketchy neighborhoods) and could do 3 miles easily. Unfortunately our 'hood doesn't have street lights and I'm not about to walk at night here anymore. I wish we had access to the high school track but they lock the gates at night. Some schools you can get to the track, but not this one I don't plan on driving 20 minutes just to walk on a lighted track at night LOL. I'll just have to suffer and walk during daylight hours.

Hi all I had another good day....right on track. I wish the scale would move faster, but ....don't we all So I was a bit discouraged this morning because I don't feel like I'm making progress, so I decided to check on my measurements and body fat. I was happy to see I've lost inches and fat over the past few weeks...and a bit of muscle too according to the scale...which kind of sucks since I'm doing heavy weights trying to maintain muscle. I'm hoping that if I keep that up and maybe even add in another weight session, that I can maintain my muscle as I drop fat. That is the goal!!

I am feeling a bit better today. It's cold but at least the sun is shining and the sky is blue. That makes a big difference in how I feel. I went out for a coffee with my neighbour and we had a good chat. My calories were good yesterday and today so let's see what happens on Monday. Have a good week end all.
