I was browsing Pinterest today, as per usual, and happened upon this website:

What the actual heck? Why yes, that looks EXACTLY like me! How did you guess? I mean seriously. Everyone's body is different. I had no words for it.
Anyways, back to actual reality. I have been slacking on food journalling lately. I think the last time I wrote down what I partook was last Tuesday. Sheesh. I didn't go crazy or anything, actually, I ate cheese quesadillas on whole wheat tortillas with salsa most nights and leftovers or a salad for lunches. Well, I'll start it back up. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm keeping it for me.
I went to the Relay for Life here in Lexington on Friday and I walked 4 laps plus a little. I wasn't really keeping track, I just realized during the long drive home that night that I had actually walked a lot. I was proud.
So on Saturday when I woke up, I ate a quesadilla, got all dressed in sports bra, sports shirt (extra support), diy racerback (these are amazing. buy really large t-shirts from goodwill, or use old t-shirts and make you some workout shirts), yoga capris, socks and sneaks, and, of course, sunglasses. I put my phone between my two "bras" over on the side (in case I died, ya'll) and my Zune on my arm...I love armbands. I walked a mile and a half. Well, I'm assuming that's how far I walked since I was walking a brisk pace and took two or three minutes to stretch about half way through. I was out there for 35 minutes. Then I stopped in the field across from my house and sat down to stretch my legs some more and get some sun! When the sun went behind the clouds for good, I got up and walked my butt on home.
Well, maybe not a full mile and a half. Consensus is brisk to fast walk can be anywhere from 13-20 minutes per mile. If you guys know the song "Three" by Britney Spears, that's the tempo I walked at the whole time. That's not the best song, but I remember it being the second song to come on and I set my tempo to that.
I don't think I'll be able to do that everyday. As a matter of fact, I know I won't. BUT maybe twice a week? At least for now.
I'm tired but I'm going to get some serious exercise in tonight. I won't quit on that.
