Return to Willow Lake

A day of rest was just what I needed. I felt much better tonight and we hit the trails and did our customary two miles on Normal Trail. I feel as if my overall condition is improving slightly, I am able to walk at a brisk pace for a while I even kept up with the Speedy Ones for a while. Then I allowed myself to fall back. I walked to the end of Normal Trail, had a quick drink and reapplied lip balm and turned around and walked it back again without pause, even at the top of Little Hell Hill even tho I was really breathing hard. I just walked a little slower for a bit until I recovered.

I am still planning to do extra distance during at least one more walk, this week. I hope that my bod is up to it and I can.

I didn't do my BYOC weight challenge, today. I didn't want to do my weights with Husband home so I decided to do it tomorrow, instead. I feel like an idiot, saying I was going to do that today, forgetting that Husband was off. :p

I am nicely on track with food. Just over 1200, so far. I have a few calories to play with. I think that some watermelon is in my immediate future. :D
