Walk or Run?

For some reason, I can not get up and go for a run.  I need the Nazi pookeys.  The good news is that in place of the running, I am walking home from work.  I am really enjoying it.

Today, according to my pedometer, I walked almost 10k.   This includes my 5k walk home.

I will commit to running at least once on the weekend to get my run in.  I'll see how I do.

Who knew people were healthy?

I started my walk/run home tonight.

(Thanks to Tim for lending me his hat and taking the action shot of me leaving work, ready to tackle the 5ks.)

I was hoping for a 45min/5k walk but it took about an hour.  I hit every single light down St Kilda Road.

But, it is pretty walk and goes quick because you are walking with purpose.
There were a lot of people walking home.  Who knew that people did healthy things like that?

Total Dehydration?

 

I don't know the reason -
I am sick and completely dehydrated.
I have eaten nothing but chicken soup for three days.
I have not exercised in a week.

I FINALLY OFFICIALLY HIT 50 POUNDS LOST!!

I'm sick

Surely that gives me a pass on exercise?
Can't get out of bed.

GCC starts tomorrow

The Global Corporate Challenge starts tomorrow and I am on team UXC Walking Tall.  This is teams of 7 people from all over the world who commit to tracking their walking for 16 weeks.  This is coming at a good time since I have been so lazy with my workouts the past two weeks.  (I did get up this morning - thank you POOKEY A!!!)

As a participant of the GCC, I get a backpack, 2 pedometers, socks (giant size) and a globe squishy ball.  My initial goal is 10,000 steps per day.  Is that a lot?  I have no idea!

I was considering walking home from work one day a week.  Scab has challenged me to RUN home every night.  It is 5km from the office to the new apartment.  I'm thinking.  I'm thinking.

Is anyone up at 6:45?

I need someone to call me and yell to get to the gym.  I have all but stopped since leaving Pt Coo.

It is impossible to break a habit

So they say that it is 4 weeks to break a habit.  Or 6 weeks.  Or 8 weeks.

In the past week, away from Point Cook, I have so easily dropped back into several habits.  And, if I didn't have some sanity, I would be back to completely eating as I was before.  I don't think you can break a habit.  I think you can make a choice.  I think you can avoid your habit.  But, I don't think you can change.
