walking the burbs

After today's walk, I'm less than 50 miles from "Nome" in the Idita-Walk. There is a small part of me that wants to go out there and just finish it. The larger voice keeps yelling, shut up and sit down. You've got a poop-load of work to do. I guess I need to listen to that voice.

Lydia was up to her eyeballs in paperwork today so she didn't go. However, she wanted to share some great news this weekend. She was chosen for the Bariatric Support Group fashion show, and she's down to a size 16. She is now officially thinner than me. That stings just a little. But I'm not willing to have surgery, so it is, what it is.

She also signed up for the First Stride program at the Bethlehem Township Community Center. I hope she learns a lot and burns lots of calories. Sharon and I did the program. If you finish all 12 weeks (Lydia there's homework!) you get a performance shirt and a pin. Our shirts were red. Graduation is a 5K.

I planned for a 4, 4.5, and a hair under 5 mile walk today. We ended up doing the four. Pretty much starting at Wegmans, heading down Stokes Park Road, a loop thru the subdivision that used to be Kohler's farm, up Jacksonville, and back Crawford. Bonnie needed the restroom so we didn't do the 1/2 mile or almost mile extra loop.

Walks in the 'burbs are fairly flat, rolling hills, so we could do some speed walking.

After walking, we shopped. Carts full of fruits and veggies and other healthy things. It begs the question, why are we still fat girls?
