Got up early, fed the littles, and set out walking with the big dog by 8 a.m. Went a little further, and she's getting getting more confident with every walk. I'm lucky she's so smart. We got charged by two huge, angry mastiffs and she let me stand our ground and protect her without running for the hills in a complete panic. Baby steps for her too I guess.

My feet feel funny after walking in real running shoes after months of nothing but flip flops. They don't quite know how to act. I find that kind of amusing. Maybe tomorrow I'll try a different exercise and get out my yoga dvd. I know one thing, if I don't shake it up, I won't stick with it. I figure as long as I do something to get my heart rate up every day, I'm golden. At least in my mind.

How do you keep your exercise plan from becoming too routine? Or does routine work better for you? Just wondering…….. because I've got to find a way to deal with this unhealthy, apple-shaped body. I'm tired of hiding it everyday under my ugly, shapeless, baggy clothes. Clothes are hot, and I don't mean "sexy" hot. I mean hot in the "it's already 90+ degrees everyday, let's take off our clothes" hot.
Sexy, now that's something I'd like to attain again someday.
Well, tomorrow's another day, and I plan to keep adding to my toolbox of fitness tips and tricks and gaining momentum!
What keeps you going after your "Dues-Day?"
Well I like walking, personally (not that it helps tho, as I usually just drink or eat back the benefits, but I'm sure it's better than not doing it). It gives me time to think - it's kind of like my own personal meditation time. So I do that 5 days a week.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that gets boring is not that I'm bored with walking itself, but when you live on a peninsula, there's only two ways to walk - left or right - so the route gets very boring. I miss living in Calif where I could hike in the redwoods and had multiple trails at my disposal. I do yoga occasionally on my deck - I like that too.
I totally hear you Sharon! Only walking is not going to cut it for me either! Thank god I have a couple P90X dvds, one which is a great yoga one. I did yoga with Agnes for a while and really enjoyed that too, and I've been invited to join pilates which I may try too. I also have a dance/cadio dvd and I love to go swim some days too. Obviously, the options are there - I just need to make use of them!!! Of course, I always have my trusty old stairs if all else fails…… :)
