So, I've been on a walking kick lately! I feel like since I gave up caffeine that I have more energy. Also, with my new schedule at work, it allows me time in the morning to work out. With that, let me tell you about my new application on my phone! It's call iMapMyRun, though I'm not running it works the same and I put it in as a walk when I'm complete. It uses the GPS on my phone and maps out my walking path, the distance, and the time. The only down side to if, if any, is that if I want to change a song I have to pause the application then change the song. This is a minor, minor problem.... I usually just listen to the songs I don't like anyways and keep trekking!
So here it is.... Here's what my new application can do!
Isn't it AWESOME?!?!?!!!

I wonder....
So you know by now that I'm not good at keeping the blog up... But, something hit me the other day and it made me want to blog about it.
I was out on my morning walk, jamming out to my latest tunes, with a smile on my face. You know how it feels to be out in the California sun, gettin' your blood flowing, you can't help but smile! While I was walking though, I passed two women, who were on the heavier side. They looked at me with a look that was smug and not very friendly, mind you I said "Hello" and I had a big smile on my face.
I couldn't help but think about how I felt when I was at my heaviest, and then started to apply it to the situation. I remember when I was bigger and would try to "work out" I would see thinner people and think not so nice things about them (and by no means, do I think that I'm one of the thinner people, I'm working on it though). I wonder if that's what they were thinking of me.... I'm still a little bothered by it, but I can't change what others think. All that I can do it change how I think, and I can tell you that I look at life a lot differently. I look at people differently, heavy, thin, tall, short.... I know there are things in life we can control and there are somethings that we can.
I wish I could have told those two women that it has been a long road for me to get here and it wasn't easy. I'm proud of my accomplishments when it comes to my weight and I am still working on it... I would love to lose another twenty pounds or so, but it's the self control that I need to work on! I love to go on my walks, I love to jam out to my iPod, and I love to get into that stride that makes me feel like I could walk all day!
****I'm writing this from work, and would love to post pictures. I'm going to have post the pictures when I get home.
