Yesterday I had decided not to walk as my right foot was still so sore from of the blisters on it. I know that was the right decision as my foot today felt 100% better. Today I had planned on just walking 3 1/2 miles instead of 5 miles, so that I would not over due it. I wrapped my right foot to cushion it a bit more and prevent anymore irritation. I wish I had known before I bought these shoes that you buy them 1/2 size bigger, as your foot swells when you run or walk distance.
I seem to always start off a little slow as my body is stiff first thing in the morning. It does get better after I get going. I know I need to warm up before I walk, but first I need to research on what exercises I need to do for warming up. I had no problems with my left foot today. The right foot was good for the first 2 miles, the I started to have pain in my little toe for a bit. Then it was fine. I think the gauze I wrapped it in just moved, but it soon moved back.
I find I am having a problem with the will power to not push myself. I planned to only walk the 3 1/2 miles but it was a rather good walking day so I went for the 5 miles and completed it. It has been quite a bit discouraging to not see a any results as of yet. I am 54 and I am well aware of the fact that it is a lot harder to lose weight as you get older. I think this discouragement is the reason I am pushing myself so hard. Today all this hard work finally started to pay off...I have 1 less inch on my waist. Tomorrow my sister is loaning me her scale.
I had 3/4 of a orange before I walked. I am out of milk so after I finished walking, I had 2 pieces of sprouted grain toast with peanut butter and the rest of the orange. For lunch I just had 2 pieces of sprouted grain toast (open faced) with a little mustard, 1/4 of a avocado, 1/2 chicken breast and alfalfa sprouts on each slice. Dinner I am thinking maybe wild rice, some cucumber and a greek yogurt. Though this may change.
