I finally did the 3 miles that I was supposed to do on Sat. It is getting hard to walk these distances! It can't get hard yet! I still have 10 miles to add! Lord, if I'm going to do this, I really need Your help!
The heat wasn't even an issue today because I went to the community center. I got so hungry halfway that I thought I was going to fall over! I took a short break, prayed, stretched, and drank a little water. Then I pressed on. I finished, but it was hard!

I have to figure something out. The problem is my schedule. Friday nights are busy nights at work, but I have a hard time doing the group walks on Sat morning after working all night. Also, during the week walking when I get up is very difficult because it is so hot at that hour of the day. I really want to walk in the morning. It makes the most sense.
The other problem is that my body is SCREAMING for more sleep. For years I have worked all night and then slept about 5-6 hours the next day. My body is demanding more sleep! I rarely use an alarm because I've always woken up automatically after about 5 hours. Now, I don't wake up until 7-8 hours have passed.

Today was the group walk at Cedar Hill Park. I walked four miles today and didn't have any problems. It took me an hour and twenty minutes. There were a few hills, one of which was difficult, but not worse than the one I tackled last week in the neighborhood. The road around the park is exactly a two-mile loop. The first time around I was feeling really good. The second time up that hill I was struggling a little. I looked to my right just as a bunny rabbit came out of the woods and hopped slowly up the hill "with" me. As soon as I reached the top, he disappeared back into the woods. When I thanked God for sending the bunny to help me, a beautiful butterfly flew around me seven or eight times. It was almost as if God was cheering me on! Below are the photos from the walk.

Today I weighed and I am not happy! I gained .4 lbs. That may not sound like much but when you're expecting to see about a two pound loss, a gain is NOT good news! In fact it is extremely discouraging!
