Day Sixty Seven

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say, today was an Awesome day of exercise!!  This morning, I did a strong 3 miles.  I added some running in there.  I hadn't really planned on doing an evening 3 miles, but I did anyway.  I always tend to do that!  I say that I'm not going to do one, but I end up doing it.  It's neat because my body just craves the exercise now.  Even when I'm set on not doing it and wanting to give my legs and/or feet a rest, I still wanna get out there and do it so I end up doing so. 

The evening walk was Amazing!  I took Lisa with me.  She hadn't walked with me in a while.  I hit it pretty strong at a fast pace.  Non-stop all the way down.  Lisa was surprised at that.  She kept wondering when we were going to take a quick rest break, but I told her that I never do that.  I do then entire 3 miles non-stop.  When I got to my last stretch on the walk, I ran.  I ran a good distance.  Totally surprised myself.  It was amazing how easy it seemed to me.  I know that when I get in the running mode once I'm in the two hundred pound range, I'm going to do great!  My body is just craving that.  Wanting to get it done, wanting to start now, but I can't. I feel my body is still a bit heavy to be running like that daily.  Even that short run I did today, that took a toll on my left leg.  It's feeling kinda worn, but I don't know, it might not have been my run.  It's been feeling kinda strange lately.  Right around my joint above my thigh.  Hopefully it gets better!

So my July 4th dinner at my families place went really well.  Everyone had a great time.  The surprising thing was my uncle being there.  He came home, finally.  It's good to see him there with his family.  We all talked, laughed and had a good time.  One of my cousins shot off a firework that kinda tilted and came straight at all of us sitting down watching, then exploded lol.  Oh man, that was crazy!  Everyone got a good scare and laugh out of that one.  The food was good.  I'll defintely have to get in a good walk tomorrow.  It was all worth it though.  Spending time with the family always makes the time pass beautifully. 

Well, today was a great day!  6 miles completed as well as some running.  I know I'm doing great!  I've been getting compliments on my new look.  Ppl can really see my weight loss now and it feels so good to hear compliments.  I haven't heard a compliment like these in years and years.  Just motivates me to keep on going!  Everyday.  Same Goal.  Make an IMPACT ;)  Goodnight!
