FIVE

Today was a little harder.  I think it was because I waited just a little bit before I went out...and because I didn't take the day off as it should have been.  I wanted to do my tomorrow's work out today since I have Bible study tomorrow.

I've joined a site called Training Peaks (maybe I've already mentioned it??).  My profile is here.

I decided to make this public because the truth is that ...I am what I am.  If I can help someone else have the courage to be themselves and not feel like they have to pretend to be something different, then I will boldly show myself to others!!  LOL...no, I'm not planning to join some naturalist camp and go around in the nude.  Also, having it public (even if no one other than  me ever looks at it), gives me a measure of accountability.  It might be silly, but that's okay too!!

Oh, BTW, as of yesterday I have lost 3 pounds!  YEA me!

DAY ONE

It was TWELVE DEGREES outside, and surprisingly enough...it felt GREAT to get out and walk this morning. I'm following a training plan so even though I wanted to keep going, I am keeping my long term goal in mind and following the plan. 30 minutes walking at a comfortable pace--which is considerably faster in the cold than it is in the heat! I thought my lungs would hurt, but since I was just walking it was fine. I got a great picture that I'll upload a little later****.

((Can see the ice on the pond?))

The neighbor at the end of the street was drying clothes-made the whole street smell so good!

Check out my training here.

Encouragement welcome!!!
