excersise regularly

My friend KC has challenged me to do 100 miles in 100 days with her. This is totally doable. Yesterday I walked two miles. The day before 1 mile, and the day before that 2 miles.

I have about 6 pounds I’d like to loose, but more importantly, I have been very lazy for the last several months. I want to be more mobile! It is important that I exercise for health & not just because I want to “look good.”

I’ve wanted to take up running for a long time but I was never really sure how to do it. Today I googled “how to start running for fitness” and I came accross a website that offered a plan to go from “couch potato to 5K runner” in two months.
I am excited about this. With warmer weather coming, I’m eager to can start this plan. I just need to figure out when I can go since I always seem to need a sitter to do ANYthing outside the home.

I have been going to the gym after work twice a week for about the last month.
I have also been riding my bike and walking more, although not regularly.
I’d like to work up to using the gym three times a week and walking or biking twice.

I rode my bike three times, but it’s hard to get out of the house. I can’t go with A. because the trailer hitch is MIA, and hubby’s hardly ever home. The only time I can go regularly w/o kids is in the early AM…...... and we are still working on getting to bed earlier in order to open up that door of opportunity.

Hubby wants to slim down, and I need to tone up. I suggested that we go biking often this summer to meet our goals. He seemed to like the idea… but I really need him to get on board. He wants to go off road, which is fine, but I’m worried that if we can’t get a sitter and go out on the trails he won’t want to go at all.
