365 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF WALKING

Today marks 365 consecutive days of walking. My inspiration is Frank Fleming @NjTank99 who is currently at 545 days today. I enjoy seeing his daily video’s showing he’s walking every day in every form of weather. I can commiserate with Franks’ feelings about the long winter. Us walkers that are outside everyday experience all of the weather here in New Jersey. I think that consistent walking and achieving a full year without any missed days is a worthy goal. Try it. It’s a great challenge.

Below are monthly Fitbit exercise reports showing back in March of 2024 where I stopped missing exercise days.

My weight has changed from 263.9 lbs. average to 225.6 lbs. average.

I averaged 6.95 miles per day last year for a total of 2,534,74 miles.

This year I’m averaging 7.83 miles per day for a total of 649.9 miles.

I averaged 13,061 steps per day last year for a total of 4,780,480 steps

This year I’m averaging 14,758 steps per day for a total of 1,224,878 steps

New Walking Shoe Purchase

Yesterday I purchased some New Balance Fuelcell Walker Elite’s size 11.5 xw. I’ve been wearing New Balance 847’s but they’ve been discontinued. I went to the Princeton @newbalance shoe store and sized up from a wide to an extra wide. The Fuelcell’s appear to be sized narrower .

I got a lot of mileage out of the last set of 45’s and look forward to seeing how the Fuelcell’s wear.

Weight Vest Purchase

Today I ordered a weight vest from Wolf Tactical. I’ve been researching for awhile and I believe that I’ve picked a good brand. I was happy their website https://www.wolftacticalusa.com/ had a bundle deal. I chose a pair of 5.75lb curved weight vest plates to go with the weighted vest plate carrier. Somehow I also ended up with a free sling bag.

I’ve been using 2.5lb wrist weights for a couple of years and sometimes will wear a second set for a total additional walking weight of 10lbs. The weight vest weighs 2.5lb and plus plates will be a total of 14lbs. For the first couple of walks I will load only one of the 5.75lb plates as a test. That will be a total walking weight of 8.25lbs. I walk 6 miles a day during the week and 12 miles a day on the weekends. I’m hoping to be able to walk with both plates without any injury but with an improvement in cardio.

Lately I feel like my weight loss progress is slowing down. I’m hoping this new purchase will help.
