luckliy yesterday some shred of motivation took over and i walked my dog for a long distance than we do every afternoon. she gets short yard walks (my yard is 10 acres) and then in the afternoon we do a long walk across the farm--which is almost a hundred acres. but i chose to go up one of the steepest hills and walked longer than usual.

today, i woke up feeling like i need a treadmill workout, so i jumped on my treadmill and made it one of the best workouts i have ever done. 335 calories burned off in 60 minutes. i walk a little slower now 2.8 and increase the incline in 30 sec to 3 min bursts. i change the incline from 3.0 to 10.0 and its making a big difference in my workout.

the biggest diff--is how i feel when i am walking around doing little things-my legs have such strength and the stairs are easier. my lung cap is low though--i am puffing quite a bit. hope this goes away in time.
