Hi Ladies,
Yesterday I ended up doing a 67 min (4 mile) walk in my neighborhood and made it to over 14,000 steps for the day. I actually walked the entirety (every street) of my neighborhood, I think for the first time ever, so it was interesting to learn that the whole thing is 4 miles of streets. I was a beast again
, averaging 16:40 min miles, but I also actually did one in 16:01 mins.
I have a playlist of walking music, mostly old school tunes, so walking to the beat really seems to increase the speed, though it's the same music that I've always listened to when I walk and my miles are usually 17 and 18 mins. Maybe before I was moreso just listening to the music while I walked and now I'm being more intentional about walking on beat.
I'm not sure, but that could be the difference.
Also, in spite of my end of the week eating splurge, I found that I had only gained .2 lbs when I did my weigh-in yesterday. So even though I didn't do any formal workouts during the week, I was pretty active with walking to my classes and walking across campus for different things. I'm going to get my eating back under control today.
Oh, and I also started PIYO. I did the first "workout" Align, which really isn't a workout, it's 40 mins of Chalene showing your proper alignment for the moves as you follow along. I'll officially start workout #1 later today.
SB - Good job with your walk!
I thought about you yesterday when I started my walk in 64 degree weather!
I was almost concerned that it was going to feel a little chilly outside, but it felt great (especially as I started warming up from walking)! I'm glad we'll keep the check-in going.
Waves to All!
