ARGH!

 I'm so close to finishing my challenge.  I just hope, hope, HOPE that my urinary tract issues won't keep me from finishing.  I'm debating  just going out and finishing it, despite the discomfort.  I did take ibu since I have zero doubt this stone is causing inflammation.  

When I'm not bent, it seems to hurt less.  So, since I walk upright, it might work.

OOOOOWWWWW

 So.  my theory that I had passed the stone wasn't totally correct.

It did pass from my ureter (tube from kidney to bladder)

I believe it is now in my urethra (tube from bladder to the outside world)

This hurts. Marginally less than when it was stuck above my bladder, but still a LOT.

And it comes in waves.  

And I have to pee.  CONSTANTLY
I don't have pee to pee, but I need to pee.

It's scraping every centimeter of that 4cm journey.

The end is near!

 Not in a bad way, though.  :)

I have 4.5 miles left of my walking challenge!
YAY!

Should be able to get that in 2 more walks.  

In theory, I might be able to do one LONG walk.  But I don't wanna.

And it's my challenge, so to speak.  I can do it however I want. 

New Garmin update for connect.  Maybe something for my venu.  
Yup, both get new stuff.  

Now I need to decide what to have for lunch.

Well, Ouch

 Had a kidney stone get stuck in my ureter yesterday.  That is a pain I do NOT recommend.

I'm fairly certain it passed yesterday, too.  I have no unusual pains today.  I even took my walk today.  No issues.  I did keep to a car accessible route, just in case. Didn't need to be rescued.  :)

I'm at mile 80.2 of 91 for my walking challenge, so far.  If I only did one mile a day from now to the end of the month, I'd get my reward.  I'm not gonna do one a day, though.  I've got an official 5K on Saturday, so there's that.  I plan on walking to work a few times, since it's well within walking distance. 

That's about it for today. 

Have a glorious day!

5K+1M

 I walked 4.1 miles today.  I'm calling it a 5K+1.  

Not as tired as I was after the 4 and change I did the other day.  

For my 91 miles in 92 days challenge, I'm at 71.8 miles done.  :)  I'm ahead!  Finally.  I had gotten behind, but not horribly.  Just not doing my walks often enough to get me 'there'.  I know I can do this.  Just under 20 miles to go, in 21 days.  I can do this.  Just CAN'T not go for walks that often.  I'm 6ish 3 mile walks away.  (I'm NOT gonna do the flip. LOL)

I just realized I have NO idea what my weight is right now.  The scale is shoved to the side so that when I drop boxes down the stairs, the scale doesn't get hit.  That would be bad.  Not crossing the streams bad, but definitely not good.

hmm.
mentally debating what for dinner...
meh.
I hate thinking ahead for food.  

Yay!  Train of thought shift.

Does it matter what my weight is, if I can walk 4+ miles and not be wiped out afterwards?

I kinda want to work on some lifting stuff.  I'll talk to YIA about that.  With my wonky connective tissues it's always a tentative thing.  

Still not happy with my resting heart rate.  blah.

I think that's about it for today, my riveted readers.  
Have a glorious one!

4+ miles

 I did 4.04 miles today.  My legs are feeling just a bit tired.  I'm not being facetious.  They really are only a little tired.  I'm doing so much better.  I'm very glad I decided to ask for physical therapy.

Aaaand Another!

 Another walk done.  41 of 91.  About 8 miles 'behind'.  I just have to get off my ass and actually do the walking.  



I'm also doing an August walking challenge, over half done with that one, by miles.  :D
I keep intending to get myself a sweatband.  LOL
When I do these walks, I get drippy.  Who knew I could get drippy?
Still hovering in the mid 180's for weight.  I'm hoping to improve that.  But we'll see what happens.
