Yesterday is weighed 204.6#, today I weighed 202.9#! Down 1.7#

I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning...laid in bed about 15 minutes contemplating it...but the loss totally made it worth dragging my lazy butt out of bed. That loss helped motivated me throughout the day. That loss helped me crush my goals for the day!

While on my walk this morning I discovered 3 things:
1) I need to start wearing bug spray on my walks! Between the standing water in construction areas throughout my neighborhood & last night rain storm...the bugs were brutal!

2) I really need some new tennis shoes that are made for the purpose of walking/jogging. I have always just found the most inexpensive thing that fits...I really need something more supportive for my walks, so the hunt begins. If you have any shoe advice...I am totally on board!

3) I have fat-old knees!!! Yes I said it fat!!! I am very comfortable with that word. I have been fat for the majority of my life...from the chest down I still am!😜 I am convinced my weight over the years has done a number on my knees...not to mentioned the simple fact my body is aging. 

Numbers 2 & 3 became even more apparent on my gravel track walks at work today. I am not a fan of walking on gravel, nor am I a fan of the added sweat that occurs from walking outside in the brutal sun...in business casual attire!  Not gonna ack down from my goals, but I do believe I will move my break walks indoors to the treadmills in the workout room at work...maybe I will stink a little less by 4:30pm!

I really had to force myself to get in that last walk tonight...my legs felt like lead...and I had to drag myself up & down my street to get in that mile...but hey no pain no gain...right!
