So I wanted to stick to my word.  So this morning I got up and the first thing I did was map out a 2 mile path around my house.  I figued I could at least walk 2 miles in 3o minutes at 15 minutes a mile.

 

Oh, Hell, No.  My lard butt did two miles in 47 minutes and 17 seconds.  At first I started off going slightly uphill, this was not terrible.  It actually was pleasant.  Then I think I got to about mile two…I started to sweat a little more and I could feel my heart rate increasing.  I got a little twinged in my chest, but I think that had more to do with my breathing.  At 422 lbs you’re not exactly flat chested if you know what I mean so even breathing is a chore with theses potato sacks on my chest.  The as I was rounding the corner for home I started to slow down a bit.  And I finished, I was so proud till I looked at my stopwatch…but still a little proud that I did it. As I cooled down at home I could feel my heart beating in my ass, thighs, ankles, and feet.  I felt like my whole body was twitching, but a good twitch.  A twitch that will lead to more good things.

 

Wow.  That 5k I signed up for is going to be…well, I don’t know how it will be, but hopefully I won’t have to have an oxygen taken and the ambulance (waaaaambulance 🙂 lol) at the end up it.

 

At least I have a starting point now and I can only get better from here.  So tomorrow, 30 minutes to myself just walking.  I downloaded Pandora to my blackberry so that helped and the fact that I didn’t walk on a track help.  Sometimes when I used to walk on the high school track in the neighborhood I just couldn’t do more than a mile because it bored me to tears.  This was a little better and I’ve lived in my neighborhood for almost 4 years, and saw streets today that I never noticed.  So that’s a bonus.

 

Now for a protien filled breakfast.

 

 

Happy days 🙂
