November 2, 2016

  So, I didn't post on Saturday.  I apologize.  This weekend became a mess of busy and I didn't blog at all, here or on my writing one.
  This morning, I weighed 294 lbs.  I haven't gone down, nor have I gone up.  Last week, I walked the dog four days out of seven for almost eight miles total.  All four of those days, I averaged a walking rate of at least 3 mph.  It may sound slow, but for me, it was a sweaty workout.  I walked the dog on Monday and Tuesday as well, about a mile each day and at that rate.  I hope I'm building some muscle in there.  The hip pain afterwards is almost enough to make me not want to walk.  The shin pain during the walk almost makes me stop every time.  Because of these pains, I think I'm doing just enough for where I am.  I don't know that I could handle pushing myself more.
  I don't know what the answer is.  I know this walking isn't going to  be enough to make me lose any weight.  I still haven't started counting my calories again.  I don't know if I want to. Ya gotta wanna, right?
  I'll check in on Saturday.
