Gnewfry's Journal, 07 July 2014

i walked a full mile today! i know that's nothing for most people, but for me it was great. and my back didn't hurt. i'm so proud of myself. now to make it a habit. i got out right after i made breakfast, so i couldn't be derailed by facebook and the tour de france. what a sense of accomplishment to do it right in the morning. it was a little hot. and for some reason my ipod wasn't working.

i have no idea what to make for dinner tonight, so it looks like it will be freezer food. that's what we call frozen weight watchers meals. or healthy choice, or whatever. i do not really consider them to be very healthy, and i'm usually hungry afterwards. but the only meat we have here is for the grill, and my husband doesn't like to grill after work. he likes to have the day off and then grill. so sad.

i have been having peanut butter for lunch every day for the past several days, and it really fills me up. it's good not to be hungry.

i slept through the more energetic water aerobics class this morning, which is why i took the walk. i'd like to try for tomorrow. the class starts 1/2 hour later than today, so i hope i will be up. i don't use an alarm clock.

yesterday we had to clean up after our flood. it was heartbreaking to have to throw things out. i was exhausted afterwards. i didn't even do that much. i counted it as housework. i think we have everything up and out of the way for next time. we got a couple of inches this time when there was a lot of rain, and water came back up through the drains.

Wow, I find that's great!!! I'm happy for you! Get confortable with the walk and then build on it! You know, if the pool isn't your thing, and the walk is... go for the walk. It's hard to do things you don't like. Especially at our age.

When it comes to progress it's not about comparison to others, it's all about you and no one else. A healthy decision, a healthy step, for YOU IS something to be proud of. Congratulations on a milestone achieved!

Great job on your walking program. Just take your time and don't pressure yourself to do it everyday. Three times a week is good for now, and then build yourself up as your back gets stronger. Well done for sure. Hope that you figure what's up with the ipod before you go on your next walk. Have a great day.

When I started walking it was 300 steps. 1 mile is a great accomplishment! :)

Great job walking right after breakfast. Every journey begins with just one small step, so before you know it, you'll be walking further. Keep up the good work.

Your "just a mile" is awesome! Especially since you are having so many back problems. Good for you!

I started walking about a month ago. I could only walk for about 500 ft., before my back would give out. I am proud to say I am now HIKING about 1 1/2 miles a day in the mountains, using a walking stick, but I am getting stronger and stronger. I understand how you feel about only "a mile" but you will get stronger yourself. Keep up walking and it will get easier. I"m shooting for the 2 miles mark. Pretty good for an obese gal!
