Sunday & Monday we walked nearly 5 miles each day. This takes about 90 to 100 minutes. Also takes some determination, and is not "enjoyable."
One end of Peter Johnson to the other and return runs about 2.78 miles (according to Garmin GPS). At 2.8 mph pace, this walk takes me just under an hour. Besides which, it's enjoyable, the "Goldilocks Distance" for day-in-day-out walks. Longer distance should for now be reserved for one day per week, a "stretch" with some planned recovery rather than running this distance two days together.
And so today, after a day off (for needed recovery) we logged 2.78 on Peter Johnson in a steady drizz. It felt good!
Yesterday I seemed intent upon eating everything I might get my hands on -- even stopping at Fred's for "Chicken Tenders" (at $4.99/lb.) Tenders are battered and probably deep fat fried. Still, my AM weight after the pig out ran 233.0 and 30%. I was amazed I didn't gain!
Today, after a "recovery" I ate better, got plenty of hydration, and a walk -- Back on track!
Metformin dose of 1000 mg. / day is OK -- watching carb intake and getting lots of fiber seems to be the key. No other Sx, except yesterday I was eating everything in sight and thought about that being a possible Sx. But it seems more like I needed food, rather than a meds Sx.
