Bonnie's Journey to Fitness
It might be hard, but I'm proving it can be done at any age.
I can’t believe that the 3-day, 60 mile Susan G. Komen Walk is only 9 days away! I’ve had people ask me why I’m “training” for a walk. Think about it. Could you honestly walk 20 miles a day for 3 days straight? I think I’m ready, but my ankle is still misbehaving. Took a 21 mile training walk on Sunday. I made it, but with blisters due to the ankle brace. So I’ve decided to try it without the brace (although I’ll have it with me if I need it). And I am now part of a walking team … Teresa’s Ta-Ta’s! So exciting!
As for the weight loss … WTF is going on!?! I burned a little over 4000 calories last week, kept my calorie intake at 1400 and only lost 1 pound!!! Granted I’m not on my normal workout routine. I’ve only hit TWR’s on average once a week. The other days are spent walking. After the 3-day walk is finished, I think it’s time to give the ankle a complete rest so it heals … and than it’s time to get back to that routine that worked for me … which is getting my butt kicked … working every muscle in my body!
My next post I’ll be sharing my experience walking this 3-day, 60 mile walk for the Cure. From what I hear, there’s nothing like it.
And the journey continues …
