I walked 60 whole minutes today! Didn’t maintain the 3mph pace that last 15 minute stretch, and my feet and back are killing me, but I did it. Supposedly, for my weight, I just burned 500 calories. We shall see. If I can keep up the hour week daily, and ease up on the baking (yesterday was apple cakes), I should lose weight eventually.

Soundtrack: Well, I had my old classic Ipod with the walking playlist, so it varied. Whip it; Under Pressure; Let it Rock; Suffragette City; Miami, Wild Wild West (both by Will Smith), Jumpin,Jumpin; The 15 songs weren’t quite enough, so I switched to What’s the Rumpus (Gaelic Storm) for the walk back and up the driveway.

Today’s agenda – call for a physical appt for me and a car appt for the car, Tuesday Toilets, Julia’s Laundry. Then I get my free time. No naps.

Hubby is back on Medifast, so I have to plan a low carb dinner that we’ll all eat.

Off to fix the tea and have breakfast, and do the morning surfing while I wait for the caffeine to kick in.

Well, I’m pretty sure I hit the 2 mile mark again today, I took a slightly different route, but my eye judged it to be the same. The weather channel says it’s in the 50’s. With the morning sun, it was comfortable exercising weather.

Soundtrack: Blue Stone, by Chris Dane Owens. He’s a music producer that made his own album, and video, then everyone laughed about the video, but I love the music. Good pop, reminiscent of 80s synth pop with choral overtones. The one slow song reminded me of the slow songs placed at the 8th grade dance. My favorite is of course the first track – Light Speed. The whole album is on the play list when I write about my Immortals who’ve become space smugglers.

Tomorrow: prolly Synchronicity. We’ll see.

I just returned from walking 2 miles, after the girls got on the bus. I’m training for a 3 miler – all the way up to the neighborhood gatehouse and back.

Soundtrack for this walk: Tinted Windows. Bun E Carlos on drums, Taylor Hanson as lead singer, and James Iha and Adam Schlesinger on guitar. Nice, upbeat pop, good walking music. Even the one slow song. I turned around in the middle of song 5 (Back With You), and was home towards the end of song 11 (Take Me Back – how appropriate). My favorite song – well, it’s hard to choose. Their single was Kind of a Girl, and that the first track, but I also find myself humming to Dead Serious, Doncha Wanna, and sometimes Can’t Get a Read on You. I really hope they do a follow up, but then, I have a bunch of one disk wonders in my music collection. I will be walking to them all week.

Tomorrow’s Soundtrack: Blue Stone.
