Heading out for the first walk this morning, felt run down again, in fact, was tempted not to do it at all. And the first walk (6 miles) was rather tough, still a lot of ice and snow in the Groton woods where I went. But by midday, I started feeling better and knocked off a 4+ mile walk in Nashua woods while waiting for dog to get groomed. Then another 3.5 miles with the dog when I got home to complete a 15 mile plus day. Tons of energy this afternoon.

Even the weekly weigh-in went better than expected. Down over 2 pounds from last week to 224.0 even though it still seems like I have a good-sized pot belly left to lose. I figure by running a 1,000-a-day calorie deficit, I will lose two pounds a week (7,000 calories = two pounds) and that formula has pretty much held true since beginning of year.

What did I listen to during all those hours of walking? About six episodes of vintage Coverville. I'm trying to listen to all 550+ episodes and only up to about episode 40. I figure it will take me at least a year to go through them all.

Weather is cool for this time of year and is turning downright cold tonight - should be in teens when I get up in the morning.
