Taochild’s weak 7

Last week was a tough one for me. Even though I have not done much specific walking training yet, I am on a 6 day a week hardcore workout schedule. I am currently a member of Team Beachbody, to help whip me into shape. I figured it was the perfect program for me, since I already had a body one might find on a beach. I m not sure beached whale is what they are really aiming for … it’s a start. I am on my fifth week of this workout, and can gladly say that I am now more like a beached dolphin than a whale … so there IS improvement. But despite the tighter belt and glistening almost muscles, my actual poundage loss is still at a crawl. This week I am fluctuating between feeling like I got flattened by a steam roller and hit by a bus, so I can only guess that I am metamorphosing into something, and next week nobody will recognize me. Including myself.

So the stats to date:

  • 0 miles walked, bringing my total up (or is that down) to 35.094.
  • 1 lbs lost, which means my total loss is -9, weight 236.

Due to the recent tornado invasion, causing much difficulty (especially in Oklahoma) I am going to try to step up my actually walking mileage to give people something to pledge on and maybe help those stricken in the last few days. I hope the message gets out there, and people will do what they can to help, despite this not being terrorist’s fault or some mad child with a gun. No doubt the news will let this one slide because natural disasters are boring. So please make what we are doing here count for something immediate. Make a donation to the Red Cross, or any other organization you think might be a help.  If we can help motivate you by walking ourselves to a bloody pulp for the next few weeks, so be it. But don’t do it for us. Do it for those that have found their lives drastically changed. Do it because it is the right thing to do.  But if you want to make it a firm commitment to yourself, post your commitment HERE and we can shout it out for the world to see (thus ensuring guilt if you don’t follow through).
