Day 28 - 4/28/13

Ok, so I didn't finish out the week strong like I would have liked, but I did get in at least my 150 mins.

Here's the breakdown:

4/23 - 25 mins
4/24 - 12 mins
           19 mins
4/25 - 26 mins
4/26 - 29 mins
4/27 - 11 mins
           15 mins
4/28 - 17 mins
           13 mins
          167 mins

However I do think I have one in there that's not counted for...so it could be more.  Either way I did hit the 150 min mark.

Day 25 - 4/25/13

Today was a good day!  I did a mile in under 20 minutes and I did 5 laps around the track instead of 4. Now if I could just get into a steady pace.  I go between 2.5 and 4 mph while I'm walking...lol

Here's my times for the week so far:

4/23/13 - 6:13 PM - 6:38 PM = 25 Mins
4/24/13 - 5:45 PM - 5:57 PM = 12 Mins
               10:27 PM - 10:46 PM = 19 Mins
4/25/13 - 6:47 PM - 7:01 PM = 14 Mins (Not counting this one not sure what the whole time was)
               8:07 PM - 8:33 PM = 26 Mins
                               For a total of : 82 Mins so far this week

I'm still shooting for 175 this week so I need 93 More mins.  I can do that!  

Day 24 - 4/24/13

Not much really to report but I felt like I should touch base.  This week I've started slowly.  I didn't get a chance to walk on Monday but I did walk Tuesday while Taylor was at dance.  Tonight we got one lap around the block before it started to rain.  My whole problem walking around the block is the hills, they are killing my knees.  I've also decided I need new shoes.  I have a pair of the toning shoes that "rock" but I think they are hurting my knees as well.  That will have to wait until next payday!  

Day 21 - 4/21/13

So today is the final day, last week they said I didn't get in my 150 mins, which I don't think is true, so this week I'm going to put down here what I've done so I can match it against theirs.  Here is my walk log for the week...

4/15/13 - 9:08 AM - 9:19 AM = 11 mins
               6:31 PM - 6:55 PM = 24 mins
4/16/13 - 6:45 PM - 7:09 PM = 24 mins
4/18/13 - 8:01 PM - 8:23 PM = 22 mins
4/19/13 - 2:22 PM - 2:34 PM = 12 mins
                6:33 PM - 6:45 PM = 12 mins
4/20/13 - 10:49 PM - 11:04 PM = 18 mins
4/21/13 - 1:50 PM - 2:07 PM = 17 mins
                6:16 PM - 6:36 PM = 20 mins
                6:50 PM - 7:02 PM = 12 mins
                                       Total = 172!!!!!!

That's just 3 mins shy of my goal of 175 this week!!!!  Woo HOO!!!!!

NR Post about Painting!

So this doesn't have anything to do about my walking but I wanted to post pics of what my living room looks like right now...lol.

Looks like an episode of Hoarders!

Day 18 - 4/18/13

Today has been a long day!  Yesterday 4/17/13 I woke up with a killer sinus headache that I couldn't get rid of...and wouldn't you know it that day I had tons of work to do!  BLAH!  I didn't walk on Wednesday though and I could tell.  I just couldn't get out in the pollen...I know I could have walked in the house, but I think I like walking outside better.  Still up in the air on that one.
Here's the pollen counts for Atlanta...I'm wondering since I'm out in the country and not in the city if ours wouldn't be higher!  ACK!

So yeah!  Pollen is high!  

Anyway, today after getting up I did a little work, I crocheted a little, and then helped my brother do a little sanding on my living room.  He's painting it for us.  I can't wait to see how it turns out.  

After the sanding we had cub scouts.  Today we played kickball, and there were so few there that the kids were the ones kicking and the adults were all in the outfield...it was funny.  After cub scouts the kids and I went down to the track and walked I'm so pumped that I can make the mile mark. I also love that I can track the distance with my Zombie, Run! app.  Here's what tonight walk looks like.  I have to tell you that I resumed 1 mission and it only had like a min left on it...lol.  So there are 2 mission pics here.

 This is the min of the first mission.  My top speed was 3.48 mph.  This one doesn't look bad with my speed...wait until the next one it's up and down...lol.

Here's the main part of the walk, you can see my speed is up and down but usually stays above 2 mph which I think is what I should be doing...hopefully anyway.  I'll find out later.

After tonight I have 81 mins in walking for the week.  I'm shooting for 175 this week so that I make sure I have 150 in.

Day 15 - 4/15/13

Ok, so I've decided that I'm not going to post everyday....lol.  I was going to post my walking progress for last week but forgot to write it down before I turned in my sheet.  I'll get an email later this week with the info on it and I'll post it later.  Let me tell you about today.  I was planning on getting up at 5 AM so that I could walk a little and take a bath before I had to leave at 6 AM to make it down to Atlanta by 8:30.  Can I just say  I hate driving in Atlanta?  The whole time my brother telling me I needed to get into the far left lane...that's 15 million lanes away and I had to travel through 15 billion cars to get that.  I was fine where I was but he didn't think so...lol.  

Check out the traffic in the mirror...and yes I was sitting still while I took out my phone and took this picture!

When we got to the VA Hospital I let my brother out and drove to the top of the parking deck.  I took the time waiting on him to do a little walking.  But not just any walking!  I took the elevator down so that I could use the bathroom and walked all the way up the 5 levels of parking deck.  So I got some walking in, I got up to the top but didn't get in 10 mins so I walked down a flight of stairs and back up the last level.  I got in a total of 11 mins on that walk.

Tonight I had to go and turn in my monitor so we (my brother, Taylor, Caiden and I) decided to walk the track while we were there.  I turned on the gps on the Zombies! Run! app and this is what it turned out as...

I have the app set to miles but for some reason it shows kilometers on the web site.  What I find funny is the fact that there isn't much of a straight line on the track...lol.  I took my minutes from the time I turned it on at the red dot all the way to the grey dot.  This where I actually stopped walking and got into the car.  I just let this mission play on so I could go to the next one...this one wasn't playing right not sure why.  Anyway, this distance gave me 24 mins for a total today of 25 mins!
