While this picture wasn't taken on our walk tonight - it is representative of my feeling of getting to walk outside in the fresh air... Two nights this week I have been able to go on a walk with the kids in the evening... The ride bikes while I walk... Monday I walked very quickly in race walking form - tonight I had our chocolate lab with us - and holding leash doesn't help with walking very quickly in good form... So it was a bit slower and a bit frustrating at times (when she doesn't remember where she should walk and such...)
Any way I look at it, I enjoy it... It is spending time with the kids, not sitting in front of the TV, and not in reach of stuff that I shouldn't nibble on, getting fresh air, and exercising all at the same time... Win, Win, Win! :)
I was successful again today on curbing the sugary stuff throughout the day - I am just sticking with eating every 3 hours and my planned foods for that time... :) I feel good accomplishing this!
Looking forward to what the weather forecast predicts to be a nice weekend - perhaps some more walks will be in my future... Along with cleaning up tree debris after the tree guy cuts down some trees for us on Saturday...
I just started walking at work on Monday, boy are my feet in pain! I'm sticking with it though, I can't imagine going 2mph, maybe I can work up to that. I do find that I'm much more productive and can concentrate better. I'm also doing a virtual walk across the U.S. which makes it fun.
ReplyDeleteStick with it, your body and mind will thank you...
DeleteWhere are you tracking your virtual walk at? I keep doing it manually with a map my walk site and just putting in the miles I have gone each month - but it is tedious to put in...
Keep in touch and let me know how things are going for you!
