321,547
I walked over 18,600 steps today, just under 10-miles primarily outdoors in cold temperatures. It was my intention to split the work with the treadmill on this very cold day but the two treadmills were constantly busy in my condo gym. I'm pretty sure that my nemesis, Peppermint Patti, was running marathons on them. I did a walk by every hour or so and she was still running. Unless she has an identical twin she is running daily marathons on the treadmill. She is not a handsome woman so I know she is trying to gain any advantage. I can't be critical of her effort and admire her stamina.
I was lucky that it was sunny with a light wind which made the outdoor walk more bearable.
I have a new routine where I walk up an incline at a brisk pace rather than run for now. It allows me to stay on the treadmill longer and kill more calories. My weight is dropping daily and my face is thinner. I'm less concerned about my current weight than the downward trend.
I should be finished my current challenge by end of next Friday, well ahead of schedule. I will be eligible to drink alcohol but will likely hold off until early February. I reserve the right to have a beer but have no reason to do so when I'm making great progress.
