so yesterday, i walked from my house all the way up county road 1 to the snowdon wetlands - that's 10k total, or 6 miles. did it in 2h 13min. since minden is 12k from the house, that means i *should* be able to walk it in less than 3h, not counting the somewhat extreme terrain - some really nasty hills along south lake road that are a bit of a bitch while pushing a 50lb toddler sitting in her car seat in an old stroller (about 75lbs total weight).
i've always wanted to walk to mind - don't ask me why, i'm just crazy that way.
the best part? barely sore at all today. i'm going to do it again tonight.

walking, walking, walking
here's a link to the various walking routes i take (randomly picked, pretty much, barring the string of favored walks): http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_maps_saved.asp?user=3norns
the ones in town are usually me alone but the hikes are with saari in her stroller or lagging far behind (so i walk about 5km for every 1 of hers, lol) and dandy in his backpack every other day.
i FEEL like i walk briskly - i'm certainly sweating enough! - but the numbers say i'm basically lalsing along. mind you, there's nowhere to add a 75lb stroller/toddler combination to the calculation!

progress!!!!!!
this is me, march this year:
and this is me now (june, 2010)!:
okay, it's not a HUGE difference, but if it helps, the pants in march were pretty tight and the ones in june were rather baggy. i have lost the jowls and the tired look, which is good, but what's best is that i'm showing signs of a waistline again (at least, i do from the back)!

progress!
well, the weight's down to 210 again (yay!) but the best part? i bought a new pair of pants today because the inside seams of the ones i was wearing gave up the ghost after, i dunno, six years or so. i went into bwana jones, downtown minden (well... "minden", if i have to be honest), and i bought myself a pair of olive green pants - size L! no x's! w00t!
also, i've started the 3hr diet and dammit, i've been so tied up with economic development and the registry office that i'm 2hrs late for lunch! i'm STARVING!
