Can't Put it Off Any Longer

I am the heaviest I have ever been and my numbers are not looking good.  I am on three different medications and I am not moving comfortably through the world.

ENOUGH

I keep waiting for special start dates and putting this off. 

ENOUGH

So Saturday I had a plan to get out and walk.  John texted me from work and asked if I would walk dogs with him.  At first I thought, shit this is going to sabotage me.  And then I said "OK - I will start with a short walk with John and then head out for an actual fitness walk". 

SO I DID

We did the loop around to Somerset and back.  It was .85 miles.  Very slow but lot's of resistance so some upper body work. 

Then I left John and the dogs at the house and headed down Lakepointe.  Went to Windmill Pointe, over to Barrington, and back home.  2.61 miles with an 18'40" pace.

Sunday I had hoped to get out and walk before our drive to Oscoda.  I did not.  Too much wine and beer and too late to bed.

So this morning I was out again.  Today I headed up Jefferson to Bedford, down Bedford to Windmill Pointe, around again to Barrington and home.  3.36 miles with an 18'16" pace.  

So now the challenge is - going back to work tomorrow - can I do it again?  In the morning?  With a 5:30 wake up.

I'm sure my doctor appointment this afternoon will inspire me!
