The Turning Point

Hey everyone, so I've put in two full days so far for The 70 in 7 and let me tell you I can feel it. My feet are killing me! On my first day I procrastinated and did 10K in one walk, that was hell and I'm not going to do that again, it took me 3 hours just to finish it! I thought for sure my legs were going to fall off!

 My poor foot... (Not included: stink lines)

I'm not one to quit though so I've bandaged them up and I'm ready for day 3. I am really hoping that sometime this week I'll be able to break through this wall and these 10k days will become much easier.

Things are coming along quite nicely...

Besides all the running I just wanted to tell everyone that I hit a turning point when it comes to controlling cravings.

My brain, the idiot that it can be sometimes, decided that because of all the walking I was doing and all the calories I was burning, that it would be OK for me to eat a bag of chips. So what do I do? I convinced my self to buy a bag of Doritos.

I know.....

But I beat it! I beat the craving! Even though I bought the bag I realized I've been working to hard to put this shit in my body. I was able to say no in the face of temptation...It was one of my proudest moments in the battle for weight loss.

So that's the good news..... The bad news is...

Now they outnumber me...

( DUN DUN DUN! )

Round 2: The 70 In 7

I'm finally back!

Don't worry everyone I didn't give up. I've just been planning Round Two of my weight loss, I've also been thinking of how to make it interesting for you guys. I think I've got some good ideas now and I'm officially starting Round Two.

 Ding..Ding..

Just to give everyone a quick update I've been doing quite a bit of walking and it's paid off so far. As of this morning I'm currently at 24 Lbs lost, but I can do better, I know it. That's why I'm starting my own challenge I call it the the 70 in 7. Let me explain.

I'm not sure how well you can see it but I currently need to put in 70 km of walking/running in order to achieve my next Nike Level. So in order to give myself a proper challenge and also advance a level I'm going to Walk/Run 70km in 7 days, hence the 70 in 7. As you can see from the picture above I've been putting in quite a bit of mileage and that's only walking once a day. In order to achieve the 70 in 7 I'm going to have to start walking twice a day. I think this is going to be a great way to increase my activity.

For the entire challenge I'll be posting updates on my progress. Please keep checking in and cheer me on I'm gonna need it.

The 70 in 7...not for the weak

Wish me luck... I'm gonna need it. Now if you'll excuse me I got some walking to go do. 

Thanks for visiting to today, check back throughout the week to see my progress!
