Walking to Chattanooga

The week of 10-22 through 10-28 was a very bad week. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure a few weeks before. I tried for 3 weeks with water pills and they did not help. I exercised through this time but when I went to the dr. my blood pressure was so high she sent me home with orders to relax (no exercise) so I did no walking or anything.

I did walk over the weekend w/dh. We went camping on Saturday and I walked Sat., Sun, and even Monday but I am not counting any of that towards my goal since I really don't know how far it was. I walked all through the campground and on the beach but I will count it as only for my health.

So far I have walked 38 miles toward my goal. I hope to get back to exercising real soon maybe even tomorrrow.

Walking to Chattanooga, TN

My friend Tammy in Canada loves the New York Yankees. To help motivate her to walk/run, exercise she figured how far it is from her house to Yankee Stadium. She is keeping track of this to see how long it would take her to get there.

Well I am going to try something like that. My family is taking a RV vacation to Chatttanooga, TN this summer. I want to see if I can get there before I actually get there. I will be counting walks/jogs, elipical, recumberant bike, etc. I will keep adding up all the miles and see if I can do it. It is 474 miles from my house to Chattanooga so let see if you can help route me on.

I actually started today.

10/9/07 - 1.5 miles on elipical and 1.25 miles walking for total of 2.75 miles.

10/10/07 - 1.5 miles on elipical and 1.5 miles walking for total of 3 miles today.

Banana Bread

So how do you spend your Sundays? Well today mine is being spent making banana bread. I'm not just talking about a loaf. I already have 8 loave in the oven and more to make. Why do you ask? Well I bought 60 bananas for the JV football team on Wed. for their dinner on Thurs. Made 90 sandwiches and bought chips. Only to have it pour and the game to be cancelled. I took apart the sandwiches to save the meat and cheese to remake them on Monday (when the game was rescheduled for) but the bananas were ripe and wouldn't make it until Monday so I had to buy 60 new ones and now have all these very ripe ones to use so hence the banana bread.
