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

Today was a stay at home day.  I was home with Migraines and the kids had a snow day.  Tomorrow it is supposed to be nicer and I am headed into work - so there will be steps taken.  I probably did a quarter mile to half a mile of walking cleaning and walking around the house - but I won't record it.  I will start back up tomorrow.  Giving myself the room to spend the time with the kids and focus on all the other goals in my life as well - helps me feel alot more successful.  I can hyper focus on a single task, but then things get put aside.  I will make it to New Orleans - and I will raise happy healthy kids who love to walk with me when the weather isn't 12 degrees and snowing blizzard style!!  We should have stopped for 30 minutes and stretched and did some push ups and sit ups...  next time that will be on the agenda for certain!  We still have to move = even when we are home bound!!
