After yesterday's four miles my legs are feeling a little sore today. I hope it is not a sign of things to come... i.e. and injury of some sorts. I will completely rest up on Sunday after the five miles coming on Saturday. I thought that my legs could use some stretching and went for a walk this morning.
Easy does it I guess. I also calibrated the new sensor and should be more accurate tomorrow.

Monday walk and new Weight!
I forgot to post this last night. But E and I went out for a nice little evening walk to get some light exercise after work.
But there is happier news for this week. Two days in a row I have weighed in at 179. Thus I am even happier to say that I am officially under 180 pounds for the first time in a year. Actually, I honestly do not know when I went over 180 pounds I just know that sometime in the lead up of the November elections the stress, poor eating and poor exercise habits and I found myself over that weight. From there I continued to gain more with the April municipal elections and after losing those elections I spiraled out of control with my weight and lack of exercise. I soon reached 192 pounds on July 10th. Since then I have lost 13 pounds. Just 19 more to go but we will celebrate in small steps of reaching the under at 5 pound increments (174, 169, 164 and the goal weight of 160 or 159).

A messed up walk
Just another walk this morning but this time the Nike+ ended the workout early, in which I had to restart and that is the reason why you will see to charts below.
Nothing too special at all. My calories yesterday were spot on. I was even able to indulge in some ice cream! YAY!

Quick walk
Just a simple 30 minute walk to get the morning started today.
Decent pace and some decent calories burned. I came home and did some extra cardio as well but stuff that would not make my legs any more tired than they already are. I have to save some for the running. Tomorrow is a four mile day (not the three that I mentioned yesterday).
Once again I came in under my allotted calories. Net 1,761 out of 2,066.

Labor Day walk
I woke up this morning and wanted to go for a decent size walk. I was pleasantly surprised by how quite things were in the city. Seems everyone was either sleeping in or they are out of town. E and I found a nice little part of Roscoe Village that we had never noticed before. We may have to go over there for dinner sometime soon. Nothing special on this 3.6 mile walk. Running commences tomorrow with a three miler.
As for calories and my weight I was disappointed to see that in my weight in this morning I remain unchanged from a week ago. I still sit at 180 pounds despite the fact that I reached my goals and that I did a pretty job exercising. Once again I came in under my allotted calories yesterday. I guess I just keep plugging along and hopefully will see results shortly.

Walk off
I always dreamed about hitting a walk off home run to win a game when I was growing up. But my only home run came in little league at 11 when I caught the gap and ran as fast as my little legs would carry me... all the way home.
Today my legs just carried me around the neighborhood for a walk to burn some good old calories.
Not too shabby of a walk, especially now that the sensor is calibrated properly with my iPhone 3Gs.
Yesterday I did well on the calories once again as my net caloric intake was 250 less than my max of 2070. I am sure I will slip up sometimes, I mean its inevitable, I am human but I am happy with how I have done so far this week. Just need to keep plugging along.

Just a walk
Walked for over three miles this morning. Just trying to burn the calories. Also added weights and crunches afterwards.
Yesterday I finished the day off being 474 calories below my allotted amount of 2070. The goal is to come in at the allotted amount or under to continue losing weight. Theoretically, I should lose a pound a week by hovering at or below my allotted amount as it is already 500 calories below my daily allowance to maintain my weight.

Just another walk today
Nothing really special.
A mere 40 minute walk - 3.59 kilometers and 330 calores burned. Need to keep it going to see some long term progress.
