My Blessed Little Life

I've set a goal for myself...it's the only way that I am going to stick to this exercise thing. I'm challenging myself to virtually walk across the start of Missouri...river to river. I think that I will plan to walk from the Missouri River in KC to the Mississippi River in St. Louis. I'll post my progress as I go. According to Google Maps, it is 270 miles, so at a rate of 2 miles per day, it should take me around 135 days to complete the challenge. I'm glad to have a goal...anyone want to join me?

I guess the Walking Warriors didn't really pan out...I think everyone started off well and then kind of just slowed down. Life happens. Since I have this set up already I am going to use it to keep track of my exercise progress. I started to be more consistant with diet and exercise in June, and have lost about 10 pounds since then. Yeah! I've become my own Walking Warrior! Today was the first day for the Couch to 5K program that I have been interested in...it went well. I ran 4 of the 6 running intervals. I powerwalked through two intervals. I have never really been a runner, so running for the 4 intervals of 60 seconds is a pretty big deal for me. I am proud of myself for trying to do this, and I look forward to seeing the progress as I continue over the next 9 weeks.
