walk everyday

been walking everyday for the last two and a half months. I feel much better about being in shape. I feel it gives me something to look forward to everyday, and I love going out into the neighborhood and seeing what’s happening. I highly recommend a 40 minute walk everyday if you can. I need to do this because I am facing some health issues, and I need to turn myself around. I also feel like my energy level is increasing. So I will see where this will go.

So I signed up for the America on the Move thingy online. (You sign up to “hike” a virtual trail in x many days, then track your progress each day by writing down how many steps you’ve taken that day from your pedometer—it then shows you how far you would have made it thus far on a map of whatever trail you’ve decided to virtually “hike”.) Its supposed to help motivate you to start walking/exercising/moving more.

Nice start right? Only with the colder weather I’ve been a wuss and haven’t gone out walking since I brought my kids trick-or-treating, and seriously, that shouldn’t count.

So, I’m setting my pedometer next to the PC, since I check my email every morning first thing. Hopefully, this will be a decent reminder for me to put the thing on and actually get out there and walk a bit more.

FOR me, weather was a factor. I was hard getting into the habit when I lived in Minnesota. But when I moved temporarily to Nevada, ti was just so easy. Now that I’ve moved to Colorado, I am optimistic this will remain a habit.

its great exercise and destressing. And you get to see places that you never notice in the car

We went for a walk in the park tonight. It felt really nice to get out and get some fresh air. Plus, I always sleep better when I get some sort of exercise during the day.
The buddy system is nice, but I think the only way I’d be able to walk daily, and seriously start losing some weight, is if I go it alone. I don’t think T likes being outside as much as I do, and I don’t think she’s as interested in making this a daily thing as I am.

I was wussing out on this due to the extreme heat and humidity we’ve had here for the past couple of weeks, but I finally bit the bullet and started doing this again, and really, it was bad, but not as bad as I imagined it would be. So I’m back on the horse as far as doing the walks goes and plan to be out there again tomorrow.

My husband and I took a walk and instead of taking our normal route around the block we crossed the main intersection by our house and explored a nearby neighborhood. I wanted to walk off the path and check out what looked like a park but my husband was afraid that it would be private property and wanted to stay on the path. We walked along the path till we realized that the area was indeed a park. I spotted a duck egg nestled in the grass and we found an abandoned baseball. I’m glad we changed our routine because we walked much farther than we would have had we stayed on our block. I like exploring and I’m looking forward to walking off the path when I am alone next time.

It’s been nearly a week now that I’ve managed to walk every day. I’m doing about 1-2 miles each time and planning on increasing it slowly. The weather has been nice thus far, so I guess once it gets a bit inclement we’ll see just how dedicated I really am.

Walked for 4 days and did not walk today. My dog was very disappointed in me.

My car broke down. I had it towed to the repair shop and decided to walk home (less than 2 miles, I’m sure). I was very energized after I got home. You would think I would be mad about the car breaking, but I wasn’t. Since one of my other things is lose weight, I decided I would walk everyday.
