We lost our dog at the lake last Sunday and didn't find her for 6 days. I walked just over 170km during those 6 days, where before this incident, I think I was walking about 5000 steps a day roughly. I actually kind of got hooked on walking while doing this and while I don't think I'll be walking 6+ hours a day, I'm setting a goal of at least 15,000 steps a day for myself now. I've got about 15-20 pounds to lose to get to my ideal weight, so if I can keep to this plan, it shouldn't take too long, even though for some reason I didn't lose any weight during that week! People are theorizing that fat was turned into muscle which actually weighs a bit more, so the calorie deficit I was running was almost equaled out. If that's true, once the muscles stop forming as much, more fat should start burning away hopefully!
