About a month back the Niglet and I set out to eat right and just burn a few more calories with light exercise. Walking is like anything else, you have to build up a base line and you have to be smart about it. You have to get out and push some days and follow that up with a recovery day, and show up for maintenance days. We’ve been at it for a month and have made decent progress. My baseline is ten clicks - or 6 miles. We can do that pretty much every day at the drop of a hat, no problem.
Yesterday we decided to push it and go for 15 km. We crapped out at 14.7. Technically we failed but only by 300m. We’re gonna call it a win anyway. The pup is pooched, and so am I for today.
It’s terrible. I was just going to take a load off for a bit and then get up and do chores. But the Niglet climbed up, snuggled in and started to snore… and I did too! 😡
Two hours later my morning’s shot and I’m just waking up! Despicable!!!
But…it’s a start. I hope you guys are being productive because we sure aren’t! HAR HAR HAR! 😂👍
Keep it up Glen. It will pay off if you "eat the elephant one bite at a time". All in due time. I have dropped 50 lbs. since January however it was due to cancer. Ugh. Thankfully I'm on the mend and eating better and slowly getting back to strength by walking and riding bicycles. Short walks and rides. When the body says time to stop, I do. All the best to you and yours. God Bless! Spiro
