Hi. I posted yesterday (see my profile <3 ) that today I will walk to work
I wanted to do a post now that I am AT WORK ❤️ and I DID ITTT
THis is like a little update of how I feel after walking so much
I was around 250 lbs when i started the diet so im very heavy. My distance to work is 13 km (with return too) - that’s about 8 miles !
For me, this is huge. I made a promisse to myself i will do it today and start move more. I am also on a keto diet.
I walked 4 miles right now and I gotta note here some observations, maybe it will help others too.
First of all, I felt super energized when I arrived. However, I could see how sedentary I am. Joints simply KIll ME. Especially the left one. I can barely walk now. My knees crack (no pain thankfully) and my whole body is ‘burning on the inside’.
After 1 hr since I arrived, I ate a salad with tomatoes and cottage cheese. And after that... the biggest sleepness I’ve ever had hit me. Now, I barely keep my eyes up. I am exhausted.
I changed a shirt (i took one extra). I sweated a lot. And now honestly I am very tired to work. Physically i feel ok but I really need to sleep. I had enough sleep, 8 hrs. But I am simply exhausted suddently - that’s my body response after many years of sedentarism
A colleague offered to drive me home and I said NO. I will walk. Even if it hurts. Tomorrow it’s a free day for me so I can sleep.
Today, I will do 8 miles as I promissed to myself. My next goal is to do this at least once a week. If I succeed, I will increase more.
As time, for me it was like 1 hr and 15-20 min. I alternated fast walking with slow walking, to add some cardio (for me, that’s cardio, yeah...)
I will update this post tonight, when I get home
Thank you so much for being with me. I love you all and I wish you the best in your joirney too. I am excited and happy for all of you!
