New Record Times :)
Today I walked a new mile record- 24 minutes! I know that's still slow, but I'm getting faster. I remember when my record was 30 minutes a mile. I want to get faster so I can enter races and not be the last one. I also walked a 5k in a record time of 85 minutes. That was my goal time for the 5k challenge I'm going to do at the end of the month. I want to be able to jog part of that, so now that I can do a whole 5k, I'm going to work on jogging. Tomorrow I'm thinking of doing some intervals of running and walking. There is this style of workout where you go all out for 20 seconds and then recover for 10 seconds. You do that for 4 minutes and that's your cardio for the day. It's supposed to help burn more calories than just running alone. I'm hoping that I can get faster that way. I will have to see.
Mood today was good... I woke up early and got my walk in around noon. It was hot, but not too bad. It was cloudy most of the time. I put on mosquito spray so I didn't get eaten alive. I saw some mosquitoes, but they left me alone. I did walk with my head down, so my neck and shoulders are hurting. I need to walk with my head up, but it's hard. There are rocks and stuff on the floor that I don't want to step on. Oh well, I just have to use my neck heater thing tonight. I hope tomorrow I feel better so I can do my cardio interval thing. I am getting a nice tan from being outside all the time. I can't overdo it, though. I'm light skinned, so I have to be careful of how much sun I get. I don't want to get skin cancer.
Food today was good... I was barely in my calorie range, but I was there. I think I need to raise my calorie level since I'm planning on walking more. I want to start walking to the store if I need to go instead of taking the bus there. I would still have to take the bus home, but at least one way would be nice. I lost 3 pounds this week and I'm down to 211.5 pounds now. My lowest was 209.5, so I want to be there by next week. I think I can do that. I just have to stay away from junk food and all that.
