Four Miles - Day 3 Low Carb

I am on low carb/no frills - Day 3 and feel good, probably not in ketosis yet...the bad thing is I wimped out of weighing when I started on Monday because I knew I was all "carbed up" and I dreaded seeing the numbers!! I did weigh Tuesday and it still was not good and you know you normally lose a lot of water the first day so WHO knows where I was on Monday.. Anyway the bad part is I will not be showing the big loss numbers since I didn't record that first day water loss - too bad ;-( I will be sharing the number of pounds lost with you and MAYBE I will get the nerve to share the actual weight - UGH!

I actually did a 30 minute workout with my trainer-Gloria this a.m. THEN decided to do a "cardio" walk with my buddy Lorin.. Well, she wanted to walk or should I say speed-walk the 5k First Baptist VBS Race course that is taking place here in Hickory NC this Saturday 6/16/07(no,we are not doing the race but Gloria and Hilary are-GO girls!).. She just wanted to scope out the course so we would know exactly where we could walk/jog 3.1 miles.. It is a really nice course through downtown Hickory going by some of the most beautiful homes in the Hickory area.. (The photo above is one that I took in the spring in downtown Hickory)

Our office is several blocks away from the start of the course SO - we walked there, then followed the course - WHEW !!! Ended up walking over an hour - probably 4 miles it was great but I am DRAINED!!! I really shouldn't be - I normally walk between 30 minutes to an hour several times a week but today we kept the pace faster throughout the whole time - thanks to my buddy - Lorin !! That's a good thing to have someone push you a little !! Then I ate 3 scrambled eggs with a little cheese - I was famished !

Lorin also challenged me this morning to start training for the 5k Breast Cancer Race in October so let's see - how THIN WILL I BE THEN ??? Yeah - we will see, Gloria would be thrilled !! I would love to hear from all of you working on weight or fitness challenges right now !!! CONGRATS TO HILARY FOR FINISHING THE HALF MARATHON RECENTLY - HILARY - YOU ARE MY FITNESS HERO - I AM SO PROUD OF YOU !! Now, I hope you will let me share your success story here on the blog - please ????
