progress report

so it's Sept 30 today and so far, i've only missed 1-1/2 walks.

i've extended my walk to go up to South Lake Road - that's a total of 10.22km according to the map utility on Sparkpeople.com

for three days in a row, i've successfully stopped eating after 9pm. i meant to make it 10pm but considering i didn't/couldn't/didn't bother/forgot for, what, two weeks or so? i figured i'd make the extra sacrifice.

sept 21: half a walk to the wetlands - it was a glorious, sunny day when i left but by the time i'd walked about 1km back from the endpoint, a truck pulled up and said he'd give me a ride home then jerked a thumb back over his shoulder - i hadn't seen the EVIL lightning storm rolling in from behind!

sept 22: no walk today - didn't trust the weather and i felt like shit.

sept 23 - 26: walked to South Lake Road - yay me!

sept 27 - 29: not only did i walk to SLR *but* i also managed to not eat after 9pm! yay me!

*sigh* whatever, lol.

i've put an order in at the drug store for a pedometer and 6yds of heavy-gauge rubber exercise bands so i can add some resistance training.

at the beginning of july, i bought a pair of runners - 3wks later, i could stick my finger through the sole and touch my foot. so i returned them and bought a pair of reeboks with some fancy air chamber thing that was supposed to revolutionize my walking.

six weeks later, the air chamber on the left popped. not only were ppl asking if my shoes were wet, but it did something and i would end up in exteme agony by the end of my walk.

beginning of sept, mom bought me a pair of runners - it's sept 30 and the sole on the right shoe is literally separating and the tread's pretty much gone - i'll post pics tomorrow, you're gonna die laughing, it's so pathetic.


ETA: i bought a new pedometer! i love this thing. i didn't know it works very well if you just shove it in a purse or pocket - so i'm stuffing it in my bra to test that theory. if that doesn't work, i'll clip it to the inside of my waistband so if it drops again, it'll land in my gotchies.

went and had lunch at the restaurant, soup and salad. told the waiter "no dressing and only half the cheese, please" because the chef there has a liberal hand for both.

so i get the salad... to discover exactly half of it covered with a thick layer of cheese!
