My dearest sister has decided to join me on my quest for self-improvement, weight loss, and living a healthier life style. Today she and I walked 2 miles of the Larry Scott Trail in Port Townsend Washington. It was quite nice, as normally when ever we would walk together she would blow right past me, leaving me breathless and unable to keep up.Well I was able to match her stride for stride today, and only fell behind a few times, mostly due to my pedometer falling off, and a leg cramp. I am extremely proud of myself for being able to keep up with her. She wants to eventually add jogging into the regiment, and I'm not too sure about this as of yet, maybe after I lose like 60 pounds or so. My knees are already bad, and I don't need to add insult to injury.
But we are going to try to do this every day from now on, or at the very least 3 times a week. Should be fun.
I really need to walk but I have been using the temperatures for the past three or four months as a reason not to. Our highs are in the 100 to 103 range which means it's already in the high 80's by the time I am ready to walk. Do you have a long stick you can hit me over the head with?
ReplyDeletewe tend to find excuses not to exercise all the time. What you can do is get up extra eairly or do it at night. If this doesn't work for you then instead of walking, maybe march in place for 4-5 minutes, or take your broom and 2 grocery bags and put apples or oranges or potatos in the bags and use the broom and the weight of the fruit/vegitables as a barbell. This will help you to buld your arm muscles, and if you do curles that will allow you to tighten, firm, and tone the backs of your arms.
ReplyDeleteJust make yourself do it. I know when its 100+ you really dont want to do anything outside, trust me I know...I grew up in Palm Springs, California where it would sometimes be 128 or hotter.
