My drivers license expired this year and I had to go to the DMV to get a new one! It was so fantastic to update my weight and my picture! On my last drivers license, I put 250 even though I was pushing 275! Then I put on another 60 lbs! On my new license I only fudged a few pounds and put 170 instead of 178. I figure I'll probably settle around 170 so I thought that would be a safe number. The lady at the DMV even commented on my weight loss. And on top of that fun I had an appointment and was in and out in 20 minutes! Sweet!!!Walking challenge update: I am done with my miles already this week. I had 3 long walks this week. Sunday my sister and I walked the 3 mile walk from her house to our BBQ at my mom's. Monday I played hookie from work and the kids and I went for a walk at the beach for another 3.5 miles. Yesterday I did another 3 miles. My son has art camp this week at our community center from 2-4. Usually at this point in the summer it is 90+ degrees but we have had very mild weather so I decided to save the time and gas going across town back home and took the baby on a walk instead. We walked to our local 99 cent only store 1.6 miles away. This was a very hilly walk! I prefer flat (who doesn't!) so this was challenging. This pic is from mile 2- 2.5. 
This picture doesn't do the incline justice! I was also pushing 50+ in a stroller. It was a WORKOUT! My feet/shoes are still bothering me. I experimented with the ball of the foot cushions I bought when I got my shoes. They didn't help at all and I think they actually made the problem worse. The last mile was horrible on the feet and as soon as we got back to the park, I took my shoes off and headed for the grass! My toes felt like they were on fire. This is really bumming me out. They don't bother me much for the first 2 miles but after that they start to hurt. I am almost wondering if some type of fitness sandal would be a better option for me. Maybe having my toes free would feel better? I just want to make sure I have some cushion and shock absorption. When I did that walk in flip flops a few weeks ago I ended up with pain in my heel! Damn feet! I think I am going to look online at fitness sandals and see whats out there. I have to figure something out because I am loving distance walking and I don't want foot pain to stop me. Take care everyone!
