take a walk everyday

this has been really easy for me to accomplish lately. my son is now old enough to go outside a lot, and boy does he love it. i really enjoy this. my son loves to be outside, i’m getting some exercise in, and i get to breathe some fresh air everyday. good stuff :)

All right, I have to be realistic about this – there is no way this is happening any time soon so I’m taking it off the list. I am nine months pregnant with my second child and my husband is deployed to Iraq – I just can’t get out for a walk every day even if I want to. I am hoping that I can get out every few days after the baby is born – I got a double stroller and would like to take the kids out when I can, but I don’t need the guilt right now of seeing it on my list!!

I feel behind on this one. But I am still working on it and it is very important to me. But I live in Texas and anyone that lives here knows that weather is ridiculous. I try to go out on my lunch break and lately it’s either sleeting/snow, raining, or being completely insane outside. I’m really going to jump into this again though, they say it’s best for me and the baby. :)

So today on my lunch break I went to the park and ate my salad and then I walked around the pond a few times. Slow start but my back starts hurting really bad if I walk too much, so I think I’m going to have to work up to being able to walk for long periods of time! Atleast I started today!

I’m really needing to do this, it’s about the only thing I can do comfortably now in my pregnancy. The weather is perfect too right now in Texas. Breezy fall weather. EVERYONE mommy I talk to says this is the best thing you can do to make sure your pregnancy goes right. So I’m 7 1/2 months right now, the rest of my pregnancy I want to walk as much as I can. I have an hour lunch break next to a park that I can go to. Plus it relieves stress! This is going to have to be a goal until I can get my ass to do it regularly.

i live in the boonies basically, with 11 acres of country. when school was in, i used to go walking around my property either before or after school with my lab, but now i’m not really in a schedule. that plus the fact that it’s ridiculously hot outside..

I’m so lucky to be able to walk on the beach any time. I should really take advantage.

Far too easy. Up and at ‘em, Christina.

I’ve achieved my goal of taking a walk every day.
you won’t believe how…

I’d planned to take the stairs every day, up to my 6th floor office.
some days I’d succeed, other days the daunting task would get the better of me.

recently, I’d decided that I would always take the stairs. going down.
heheh.

okay, it’s not as dramatic, but it works. I’m now walking every day!
when I want to go up to my office, I take the elevator to the tenth floor and walk down six floors.
every time I want to leave my office, I walk down seven flights of stairs (six floors plus the plaza).

again, it’s not so dramatic, but it works. I’m walking every day and feeling physically better. even lost a bit of weight!

better less drama but workable than more drama but unworkable, no?

This dosent seem like a very lofty goal but its a huge one for me. I love to go on walks! but i never do! i think that going on a walk everyday will help ground me, put me at ease and really let go of unnecessary stress.
