Almost to 100km

Wow, 4 days since i updated and what a 4 days it was...

First of all, I just updated my run tracker for the past little bit. I keep an excel spread sheet with how far i've walked/run and how many calories it burned. It also calculates my distance travelled for the day, week, month and year. And since I've started tracking (which is about when I sstarted this blog)...I've gone 89.16 km on my feet. I'm actually on track to break 100km this week. How crazy is that?

Secondly, on monday i went for a walk. Not just any walk though - a 3.5 hour, 10.5km all over town and to two canada day festivals walk. Entirely without any assistive devices (NO CANE!!). This is a huge accomplishment for me, especially since today I can even still walk enough to do my paper route - which is a 5km walk in itself. Thats right, this plan does work and even accounting for everything fibro does to your body, you can and do get stronger if you keep at it. That is a real eye opener for me.

I am frustrated however as I have not lost any more weight recently and feel that losing more would really help my exercising in terms of making it easier to do more and to get stronger. I'll take any helpful advice out there going. I like to think I eat a pretty healthy diet, and reasonable portion sizes but I seem to be stalled out. Feedback and support is, as always, appreciated!
