Im starting this thing called walking

Unrelated: Mitch Hedberg was the funniest man ever. Listen to him speak and die of laughter... seriously, I cant stop laughing.

The greatest thing that I ever got for free: a pedometer.
oh yes. Im obsessed with it. It came with my scale. Just in case anyone who reads this doesnt know what a pedometer is, its this little thing you clip onto yourself and it counts each step you take. It tells you how many miles you walk and how many calories you burned. I'm starting to walk everywhere now just because its fun to see how many miles you've walked. My goal is to walk 5 miles a day. I mean, on an average shift at my job I walk around 5 miles. But my walking will all be done outside of work... so any extra miles I walk during my shift will just be extra. So this is my plan... well I started it yesterday... BUT. I'm waking up early and going to the park by my house and walking around the field a few times. Its this beautiful park with a nice trail to follow. Lots of people walking their dogs. I want a dog... but anyway, I wore my new best friend pedometer and ended up walking over 7 miles in a little over an hour. Its seriously the best way to start your day. I've read that working out in the morning boosts your metabolism for most of the day. I followed my walk with 2 pieces of lean turkey bacon, 2 pieces of toast with I cant believe its not butter zero calorie zero fat spray (soooo good) and a banana. Oh and some light soymilk with sugar free chocolate syrup mixed in. I stuck it in the microwave for about 1 min... mmm best hot chocolate ever. I'm thinking of walking to jamba juice and getting something light... im wondering whats healthier though... something with only fruits and no dairy or sugar added... OR one of their "light" options under 200 calories .... which is sweetened with splenda I guess. Jamba juice has this Luna bar thats amazing too. I want the drink and the bar. Too much? I dunno.

So I bought this drink called enviga. When you drink 3 of them, its been proven to increase calorie burning by 60 to 100 calories. But you have to drink 3. If you drink more than 3, it has no more calorie burning benefits. I bought a 6 pack and then thought about it later. 3 drinks just for 100 calories at the most? It doesnt seem worth it. Theyre 5 calories each, and come in a couple flavors. Theyre made with green tea or something. I drank one after my walk today and then felt really nauseous and threw up. I felt better right away. Weird. I'm afraid to drink any more of them. I drank 3 last night and it just made me really full. I have 2 left. Anyone want one?
