another update

I know, I am so terrible at this keeping a blog thing. But I am trying. So here's my update for the past couple of days. I went for a looooooong walk around Reid park on Friday night with my girl, her friend and her friend's mother, who is becoming a friend. I really like her a lot too, even though we are so very different. For one thing, she is Christian and very religious and I am Muslim and very religious. For some reason though, I feel very comfortable with her. I guess it shouldn't be so much of a surprise considering we are both Black women from the East Coast. Another thing is that she is probably ten years older than I am and she is not a step parent, but I think because she grew up with a step mother, she seems to have some sort of understanding about our situation. Anyway, back to the workout. We walked probably about 3 or 4 miles. I am convinced of it. My body was telling me that we walked ten miles, but realistically I think less than 4. I am trying to find information for the park that says how may miles are around the track so I can be more accurate. I was in so much pain the next day from that walk, so now I am convinced that when hubby and I walk, we are not walking as far as we thought, cause I never felt that much pain after our walks. Time to step it up I guess. So, we made plans to do this every Friday or at least once a week. I hope we stick to it, because it was nice to walk with the girls.
Today, Sunday, I got my "vacation", so I am fatigued. But since I can't sleep I decided to do a workout since my pain kept me from doing anything on Saturday. It sucked. My knee hurts so much still from Friday, but I pushed through it. I am really going to try to stay more focused because my walking buddy really noticed my weight loss and it is nice to know that others can tell. Ultimately I am doing this for myself, but it is always nice to have the compliments. Okay, off to bed. I'm beat! Du'as please.
