11,100 steps!
Today I did over 11,100 steps! I went for a 2.5 mile walk and walked to work, around work and back again. I feel pretty good... just tired. My knee is hurting a bit, but I should be fine for tomorrow. I'm going to try and volunteer tomorrow as well. I'm trying for the Monday to Wednesday that my therapist is trying to get me to do. Today was pretty easy... I went to bed early last night and woke up at 11:45 am. I got a good night's sleep. Geo wants me to go babysit with him on Wednesday. He said it wouldn't be later than 9 pm. I have to wake up at 8:30 on Thursday, so I guess I can live with that. I would just take my klonopin on the way home, that way when I get home I can just go straight to bed.
It was a rainy day today, but I like the rain. I went for my walk in it, and didn't even use my umbrella the whole time, even though it never stopped raining. It started pouring when I was on my way home so I used it then. Before that it was just moderate rain. It rained on my way to work, but not home. We went to Burger King for dinner and I went over my calories. I just have to be good tomorrow. I still want to be in the 220's, but I think I'm going to go back up into the 230's. I was 229.8 pounds today, so just into the 220's. I had a lot of sodium with the burgers, so I may retain some water. I've been drinking a lot of water and Crystal Light, so hopefully that will deter some of it. Not to mention I've been constipated for a while now (like 3-4 days). I finally broke down and took some Miralax for it... I didn't think I needed it, but now I think I do. I'm feeling less sick today... I hope whatever it was is done with me now. Anyway, I had a good day overall!

amazing, great job!!! that\'s a lot of steps, isn\'t it amazing how many steps we take in a given day. walking 2.5 mile is great, I love walking, I also will walk in the rain. I am happy to hear you had a good day, aren\'t they great when it happens. great job on the voluterning, you are trying so hard on everything, try and be patient with the weight, I know, easier said then done. many hugsss
GREAT job on your steps! I hope your knee feels better. I also love the rain. The sound and smell of it. =) Water and Crystal Light are good to drink, especially if you consume a lot of sodium. You\'re doing a great job so keep it up. =)
You are doing wonderful with your steps. I am proud of you. I have started exercising again, aerobics and lo carb diet, but it sure is rough. Good Luck Larissa and keep up the great job
always nice to go out. i noticed that a couple of months ago when we were super broke and not eating out or going to the museam (which is free, so don\'t know why we didn\'t go, you join for the year for $20 and then its free all year. otherwise its $12 each time you go.) anyway, i noticed just from not going out it was depressing, but as soon as we were out again, i felt great. change is a spice of life, everyone needs to be out and about. xxoo
