I was at 1258.54 miles to New Orleans and 5.5 miles to Larkspur for the Renaissance Festival when I last wrote.  It has been awhile.

I have walked 43.7 miles since that time - which was two months almost to the day.  I was so excited about blogging and posting and then life happened and I lost my gusto.  Now I am back because I REALLY want to go to New Orleans, and I really want to walk there before I plan my actual trip :D

So my count with the 43.7 miles is 1214.84 miles to New Orleans - now lets find out where I actually ended up - because I blew past the ren fair by 38.2 miles!!

With the 38.2 Miles I made it to Manitou Springs - which was my next destination, and then back tracked to Old Colorado City - which is currently where I am at now on the map!!  My next Destination is Fountain Colorado where my cousins live which is 16 miles from Old Colorado City - after that I will head towards Pueblo!!  Pueblo is 45.4 miles from where I currently stand!

In the two months since I stopped walking as much and lost my focus I gained weight, and found myself in and out of depression.  This is not at all where I wanted to be - but admitting the truth is a good thing.  So Here I stand - in the middle of Spring ready to give it my all!!  My goal weight is 140 - my destination is New Orleans, and this is going to be fun!!

Time to really get this show on the road :D

On Saturday there was a whole host of birthday preperation and walking the dog and just walking to do.  I walked a full 10000 steps - or 5 miles.  Today I stayed at home cleaning - and walked 1 mile - that's a total of 6 miles.  My next goal is Larkspur where they have the Renaissance Festival  - One of my favorite places to dress up and play - the distance is 11.2 miles from Castle Rock

Today I am at 1258.54 miles to New Orleans and 5.5 miles to Larkspur for the Renaissance Festival

That is 46.46 miles walked so far!!

I was not feeling well today - my stomach had me walk many trips to the bathroom - which is how I made my one mile today.  It was beautiful outside, but I did not see one bit of it until it was time to go home.  Some days - are just like that.


Today I am at 1264.54 miles to New Orleans and 0.39 miles to Castle Rock!!!  It was a beautiful day for walking too - fresh air still scented with snow and spring and sunshine :D

That is 40.46 miles walked so far!!

Back to walking on my breaks - not the 10000 steps I want - but it gets me moving - and today in high heels no less!!  I walked 3200 steps today - 1.52 miles :D  It is all about one step at a time, and persistence and perseverance.  I will make this happen and I will make it awesome

Today I am at 1265.54 miles to New Orleans and 1.39 miles to Castle Rock!!!  It was a beautiful day for walking too - fresh air still scented with snow and spring and sunshine :D

That is 39.46 miles walked so far!!

Sick nabbed me - but I have been keeping track.  Saturday I walked 5 miles, and then over the last couple days I have walked an additional three miles - the .29 or whatever is being rounded for simplicity right now.  so 8 miles total.

which puts me at 1267.06 miles to New Orleans and 2.91 miles to Castle Rock!!!  So close to my friends in Castle Rock I can see the hill that leads into town!!  SO worth the keeping going!!

Under the weather today - only 1730 steps - I can tell when it is harder to move - it affects me.  so that is .75 of a mile - not exactly what I was hoping for - but it's still moving and groving - just a tad slower :P

So with .75 miles I am at:

1275.06 miles to New Orleans and 10.91 miles to Castle Rock!!!  Slow and steady wins the race - and this Mamma is going to feel alot better tomorrow and get my groove on!

Behind on my posts!!  Yesterday I walked 4250 steps and today I walked 3021 steps.
  So 3.6 miles between the two days.  I am drawing and painting, so my walking suffered - but I have met other goals in the meantime.

That puts me at:


Today with 3.6 miles walked I have 1275.81 miles to New Orleans and 11.66 miles to Castle Rock!!!

I need to get back to painting - but I didn't want to miss another day without posting or I will loose my numbers!!  Creeping up on New Orleans - tomorrow will be a MUCH stronger walking day!!  :D

I also did a full 30 minutes of exercise that was dancing and core work - so mix and match - healthy is the goal and I WILL get there!!  :D
