Only happened once...lol but it did. I don't usually run outside. As an adult that is I have only ran on a treadmill. I thought just going for a job around the Roman Forum would be no problem as our hotel was just a block away. RIGHT! Cobblestones, pebbles, dodging nuns and priests and unfamiliar territory were all big obstacles. I walked mostly but some running did happen, just not as much as I would have liked. We did tours and walked everywhere so exercise was not an issue. My friend was wearing a pedometer. In all we walked 20 miles while we were gone. Not bad at all. The food was amazing as I knew it would be. With all of the great food and gelato every night while in Rome I knew I had gained. I jumped on the scale this morning and weighed 181.4 which is a loss of almost 2 pounds from my weight of 183 when I left. I was shocked and over joyed! I want to thank everyone for their kind and encouraging words on my last posts. As always you guys are awesome!
A few more pictures for you.....
Just so you know...my friend wanted to tag along to get a few pictures of the Roman Forum and decided me running and walking on vacation was fairly picture worthy.....
Go you!!! I am seriously impressed.
ReplyDeleteWow! That rocks!!! Rome should be a weight loss tool - I lost when we went too.
