I would walk 20 miles…

So yesterday I had a great accomplishment, I walked 20 miles. No that is not a typo… I really walked 20 miles. My husband and I went for our normal 4.5 mile walk but when we got there we decided to go on the opposite side of the trail. We started walking and my husband said that we could go as far as I wanted but that to remember we had to walk back just as far. So we started walking and didn’t stop until we reached the end of the trail which took us into downtown Columbus. I thought I was going to die but we had some lunch at a deli and got the kids resituated (oh yes… we brought out 1 and 2 year olds along in the stroller) Then we turned around and headed back. I knew that once I turned around there was no going back. I thought I was going to pass out at one point and I nearly cried towards the end because my legs were hurting so bad… but I made it. It was amazing and I feel so good about myself. My husband, who is in the Army, was even worn out. He told me that he didn’t think I would go 10 miles much less 20 and that he was so impressed and proud. I have been stuck in a weight rut lately hanging around 232lbs. I weighed in this morning at 228lbs. I don’t know if that will stick but for now I’m happy with it. I haven’t been in the 220’s in a long time. I’m slowly working my way to ONEderland. 2-teens here I come! Don’t let anyone ever tell you that getting a lap band is the easy way out. I have to work hard at it ever single day. Hope to update you soon with some better numbers!
