56.2km, to be exact.
I am 42M, 6' 3", SW 360, CW 274, GW 235.
For the last year, I've been primarily walking, as well as improving my diet, in my efforts to finally lose the weight that's been plaguing me my whole life, and gotten particularly bad in the last decade as my marriage continued to decline and finally broke down completely.
As I've been approaching the 100 pounds lost mark, I've been stepping up the exercise in an effort to keep things moving forward. I don't want to just lose the weight, I also want to achieve a healthy lifestyle, so I can keep the weight off, but also feel better overall. Almost entirely walking, as I said, but also some very light jogging (my knees are still in really rough shape), as well as stretching, situps, crunches, a bit of home weightlifting, etc.
Well, this week was a major milestone for me, because for the first time ever, I walked for at least an hour every single day, and made it over 50km for the entire week. Normally I'm sure to do at least a half hour daily, but haven't been pushing too hard to go beyond that consistently, because I was afraid of burning out or causing knee trouble. But I got on a roll, and felt encouraged to keep at it. I'm so happy I did this, and best of all, I don't feel worn out at all - just excited!
It feels so good to know I'm forming a healthy habit that's going to keep helping me improve myself and get me closer to my goal. I just had to share with everyone. Thanks for listening. 😊
