Minus a Ton or Two

I’m going to try to lose some tonnage.  I went for a short walk with the girls last evening and it felt okay.  My legs were fine, but my back hurt for a while afterwards.  Being too fat is sure tough on the back.  Kris walks faster than me now, so it is good to have her along to set a pace that will get me working harder.  Krystal has no problems keeping up with her but she said it was nice to have a more casual walk.  She is used to trying to keep up with Grandpa who gets up and goes.  We only went a mile, but that was plenty for me.  Hell, I am carrying around another person!  Let’s see how you feel after giving someone of your same weight a piggy back ride for a mile.  Wow, that’s a revelation.  I want to lose half my weight.

I would like to get down to a weight where I am comfortable getting on a horse.  At my current weight, any horse would suffer a great deal. LOL

P.S. Went on another walk with the girls and all the dogs since writting this.  Made it 1.25 mi this time.  I hope it doesn't take too long for the muscles in my back to get used to this.  I also figured out how to get my GPS to keep track of the distance and time walked.  Pretty cool tool.
