My legs H-U-R-T! Starting this past Monday I started walking in the mornings and the evenings. So I have been walking roughly 4 miles a day. I through in a jog here and there for as long as I can. My shins hurt. Everything else is sore but my shins hurt...did I mention my shins effing hurt.
I am hoping this helps boost my weight loss this week. I plan on walking tonight and tomorrow morning. I may have to go to the gym tomorrow evening because the kids are coming home from their dad's tomorrow night so I may not have time. I am trying to figure out a plan to keep this up as much as possible but I am not sure how yet. The kids are on spring break and with their dad so it is easy to get all of this walking in. When they come home and I have to get them to school I get home to late to walk. I have to start getting ready for work. Then in the evenings I guess I can walk by myself and leave the kids with hubby but I feel a little bad doing that because he enjoys walking too. I could always take them with us but my daughter can't keep up and it doesn't feel like a work out when I have to keep stopping for her or walk her speed. Always a hurdle.
Hope everyone is doing awesome.

Walking to lose?
I weighed in Saturday losing 2 lbs. I am down 48 pounds. I rode my exercise bike for 30 minutes Monday-Friday and did the 30 day shred 3 days last week. I counted my calories and stayed around or under 1600 calories every day. And I still only lost 2 pounds. I know 2 pounds is good but I thought I did well enough to lose more than that.
I'm starting a new goal today. Even though I have not been meeting my goals I set for myself I am gonna try it again. I need to lose 22 pounds in 8 to 9 weeks. That will being me to 70 pounds lost by the time we will be leaving on our Disney World vacation in June. I really hope I can do it!
This week I am going to change up my exercises. Maybe that exercise bike is just not cutting it for my body. I am going to walk. Yes walk. The weather is nice, my kids are visiting their dad until Thursday evening so I have time to get in a lot of walking. My plan is to walk in the mornings before work and in the evenings after dinner with my hubby. I started off this morning with my walk. Part of my path is a track I get to at a nearby park. I walk around that track twice before I go on. This morning I ran twice for about 2 min intervals. I know it's not much yet but I will work at it and it is more than I could do last year at this time. I would run more intervals but I know no one is watching me at the track so I feel more comfortable. I haven't brought myself to running where passing cars could see me. I def feel it in my legs. I know I have done something when I am sore. I look forward for another walk with my husband tonight.
