Observations from this week:

• Half way through the challenge.  This has been really interesting and fun on so many levels
• I am getting into the swing of judging the weather and responding accordingly
• I love the concept of paying attention to my surroundings
• Will need to walk more in the mornings, it is getting ready to have a steady diet of 100 degrees
• I see more and more of my neighbors out walking
• I am sleeping much better as I tire myself out.
• I love starting out my walks with prayers for the day.

Well, that is it for the week.  See you next Saturday.  Have a blessed week...pilgrim

Day 45

Day 46

Day 47

This was a very busy week; but, I walked everyday.  Here are my observations

• I have to be careful not to overdo it.  On Tuesday I ended up walking over 7 miles.  My phone died at 4.88, but I walked a lot more after that because of the event I was attending.  This really tuckered me out on Wednesday
• It is fun walking on the strip, will have to try that again before it gets too hot.
• Because I am walking 7 days a week, I have to pace myself.
• My stamina is increasing and I am losing inches which is good
• I am a morning person, so morning walks are much more appealing.

Looking forward to next week and what adventures I can have.  Until next week......

Day 40 Life walking today

The yellow blossoms intrigue me

Observations for the week:

• I cannot count.  Keeping up with the number of days is getting challenging,  I am going to have to keep a journal and write down the day.
• I am amazed at my determination.  40 straight days of walking. Listening to music and walking along
• Hot days are a challenge but not impossible.
• I am sleeping better because a sister gets tired.
• Neighbors are waving me as I pass by, that is cool.

10 more days and I will be halfway through the Challenge.  Wow.

Until next week.......
