I decided last week that I want to stop thinking and talking about getting some exercise in and just start doing it already. This week I’ve done a good job at keeping my promise to myself. It helps that our schedule has changed since the kids are out of school and going to camp now – which means Grace is cooped up in the laundry room for more hours than she is used to. Translation: the dog needs to get walked so she gets rid of some of her energy and doesn’t drive us all completely insane every night.
I’ve been loving the Gmaps Pedometer site to keep track of how far I’m walking every night. The first night I did 1.5 miles, the second night was 1.75 and last night was almost 2 miles. Woot! Tonight I have a doctor’s appointment at 7:30, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get one in, but hopefully someone will walk Grace so she’s not completely bonkers.
I also bought an exercise ball because there were some good exercises I saw in Glamour that I want to try. I used to have an exercise ball and was all ready to do the exercises… but my ball mysteriously disappeared. Rob and Connor both said, on separate occasions, “Didn’t that thing pop?” Ummm. Not that I knew of, but they obviously know something I don’t! Heh. I need to try those exercises out soon. I want to firm this body up!
Good job on the walking!!!!
I’ve really been getting my mind ready to start walking, and I want one of those balls too. I need something “new” to get me excited to walk. Maybe a new pair of walking shoes or something.
