My Fitness Journal Post 4

I had another day out at the lake today getting my exercise. I also bought a new pedometer that counts calories burned so that I could keep up with that better than trying to guestimate it like I’ve been doing it. What is up with the freaking weather this week!!? It seems like the weather has been nice and clear almost every day this week except for when I get ready to go outside and get my walk on…. then it starts clouding up and getting all nasty. Anyway I had a good time today regardless of the weather. I walked 5.59 miles, took 13,645 steps, and burned 647 calories. That isn’t too bad considering I wasn’t planning to walk that much today and I have another blister on my left big toe from all the walking I’ve been doing this week. It is a blister on the same spot that my last one was at a week or so ago and it hurts! Maybe I should take a break from walking over the next three days since I’ll be working anyway to let my toe heal up a bit. Blisters suck!
I logged another song list of tunes I listened to while I walked today:
- Madonna - Like A Prayer (Dance Mix)
- Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Ultimix)
- 20 Fingers - Mr. Personality (Groove Mix)
- Madonna - Music (Groove Armada Club Mix)
- Angel - How Could I Lie (Eddie Baez Anthem Vocal)
- Aretha Franklin - Pride A Deeper Love (Razor N Quido Remix)
- Rihanna - SOS (DJ Gizmo Remix)
- Pebbles - Backyard (Uptown Club Version)
- Various Artists Freestyle Megamix
- Trip Theory - Steppin’ (At Your Own Pace Mix)
- Shapeshifter’s - Lola’s Theme (Who The Fuck Is Lola Club Mix)
- Perpetuous Dreamer - Dust Wave (Armin Van Buuren’s Rising Star Mix
- Backstreet Boy’s - Larger Than Life (DJ KemiKal Remix)
- Kenny Login’s - Playing With The Boy’s (Dance Mix)
- DJ Unknown - The Ultimate Techno Mix (Who’s Opinion Remix)

One more comment about mp3 players. Going by the pictures that accompany these posts, you look better without a wire hanging out of your ear.
I have a bit of history/baggage here. I worked for a long time across the room from an earplug listener. His desk was in front of my work station, so when I was doing my job I was looking at him. He looked like an idiot with that reverse colostomy bag hooked up to him. There is a lot more to this story…he was an abusive Jesus Worshipper …but seeing hundreds of hours of him listening to his preaching tapes was the icing on the cake.

About the wire hanging out of my ear…. I’m out there trying to lose some weight, not trying to be a fashion model. The earplugs are not the focus of the pictures I post on this subject. The pictures are historical marks on my journey to achieve better fitness. If I happen to be wearing my earplugs when I snap a picture while I’m out walking because I like listening to my music then so be it. The music motivates me, therefore the earplugs will be worn
