4:20 Walk Everyday

in Introduce Yourself
So, hey. I'm Kat, 33, Los Angeles-esque and right now, I weigh 230lbs. I'm not really sure what my goal is, but right now, I'd love to be under 200 by the end of the year. So far, I've managed to drop 9lbs this month, probably a good bit of it just water. My biggest vices: video games and craft beer.

For the last three weeks, I've been getting up around 4am and exploring my neighborhood in the cool, quiet early mornings. It's mostly been a way to deal with anxiety and excess nervous energy, but I've really begun to enjoy just... escaping for a while with an audiobook or a podcast. I just lost myself in Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and before I knew it, I had chewed up nearly 12 miles of concrete in just two days.

I'd love to keep up with some people in a similar situation or really, just anyone who can see the lighter, more amusing side to this whole weight loss/exercise journey.

    Hahaha! I only just moved to LA from Colorado, too. Half of the people I tell that to immediately start talking about weed.

    Early mornings are the best. I can hardly fall out of bed in time before the rest of the town wakes up. But when I can its friggen amazing.
    Keep it up!
