D14 - Walk with a vengence

Did 2 rounds today, ie 10 km. It was past midnight when we finished the second round and then several interesting things happened at once. My helment, clipped to my bike was stolen, and as I commented vehmently on how I shouldnt have been so trusting the cops showed up and intorogated me and my friend as to what we were doing in that area so late. Luckily enough talked myself out of a fine, turned out the cops were sincere individulas who were more concerend for our saftey than their pockets. Good people. Well came home feel tired and now am off to bed. Felt so good to do 2 am tempted to try 2 again tommorrow and its all due to Debu. Thansk Debu for being so consistent.

D13 - Skipped

D12- hiphop style

Did it again, 5 Km walked for today. Total elapsed days = 12, total days walked 7 days. total cal loss = 35000. Monthly target = 7500. Feeling good!

D11 - Good chat

Did the 5km but this time with a friend for company, didn't even notice when I finished. Good walk even though it was 12:4- am when i got back i really enjoyed it.

D10 - Cold facts

Well did a weight check today, not an encouraging result. Have gained weight and am now 115.8 Kgs. Not stopping though will plow through as with anything it gets worse before it gets better. Skipped today again as I had to drop a friend at the airport. But will be coming back with a vengeance tomorrow.

D9 - Back again

did 5km again took slightly longer, had a snack in between but did the 5 km. I think the trick to do it regularly is to go before 10:00 pm and to listen to audio books while I walk. Didnt even notice the walk.

total so far: 20km and 2000 - 2400 Cal loss

D9- Skipped (Monday, July 16th)

D7 and D8 - Skipped

My bad!

D6 - Skipped

Was too tired and didn't have the heart to face the long empty road.

mcx

D5 - Lazy assed effort

Did the 5 though did try to take an auto mid way through the walk out of sheer boredom. Well hope this breaks the Jinx.

mcx

D4 - skipped

Cant do the walk today, too tired and sleepy. will have to make sure this doesn't become a full stop. Thursdays are usually difficult work days so shouldn't have skipped today.

Somehow seems like the only thing I am currently doing to reach my goal is stay away from desserts. Mind you, it's not that easy.

May not post till I do something else too... like excercise!

My histrory with walking

I wanted to tell this story more carefully, I wanted it to be impressive and well written but I guess I don't have the heart for it just now.

Ok my addiction or love for walking began around the time I was 14, I was at that time recently re-dislocated to Kerela and suddenly plunged in to relative poverty. The next 2 years would be difficult and turmoiled in many ways, needless to say my emotions where in a constant state of flux.

I started walking back from school, which was 7km away from my home, because I would drink salted plain soda with the bus money. As i was often joined on that walk by my more affluent but loyal friend the walks never seemed long, except for the end portion after his house where i had to walk alone. Well times became slightly more difficult and somehow the walk started becoming more meaningful.

Our friendship grew stronger on those walks and we invented and created wildl stories of epic proportions as we walked. I was happy despite all else. Soon I left Kerela and stopped walking as much, it would be almost 4 years before I would turn to it again. I fell ill and almost got kicked out of the university in my first year, I was also at the same time trying deal with the rejections of someone I desperately loved, both combined and the prospects of bringing shame upon my family had me on the brink of a breakdown. I started walking again. I walked and then ran, reaching a point where I was running more than 8 km a day.

I made it through my course passed with honors, the girl I loved ended up being mine for a brief moment and life was good again. I stopped walking. Again after almost 4 years I return to walking again, this time to survive the love for another. I cannot love in portions or in moderations, i fall completely, helplessly and with out considerations for my own self, I prefer to do this such but I cannot let that intense emotion destroy friendships or the happiness of the ones I love. Walking allows me to deal with my emotions and protect myself from drowing in my self.So I will walk my way to a smile and a lighter heart.

Regards

MCx - D2

Did the same 5km today, though marginally faster. I was able to shave 18 mins off yesterdays time thus completing 5km in 57 mins. Ran for a bit in the middle and could feel the old machinery clank underneath the layers of fat. I guess there is still something left underneath the blubber. I cant wait till I run this.

So I guess not calculating an exact cal burn I would say anywhere between 460 - 500 burned today. Bringing the total up till now to about 1000. Aim for the month 7500.

United we can win!

Hey!

Here I am. I join the fight... in my own slow pace as of now.

I will be more proactive after the 19th of July. Till then only such baby step aims and achievements for me :)

Final target: To lose 14 kilos by 31st December.

Present

The current scary state.

Gravity Fight D1

Walked 5 Km today, took me about an hour and fifteen mins to complete, it was a moderately difficult walk with two small inclines along the stretch. Not too proud with the numbers but its a start. I checked my weight 2 days ago and it was 112kg. Aiming at covering 5 km everyday for a week, will evaluate what needs to be done next once I have completed this. I am aiming at dipping below 100 km with in a month so that 12kg in 30 days, which is comfortably impossible.

Next milestone: July 15
End of Phase 1: August 9th

5K at 4.3 km/hour = aprox 460 - 500 Cals

Aim: loose aprox 7500 this month (must reduce intake to 1500 cals a day)
