I'm happy to say that I worked out every day this week (M-F). I will be taking the weekend off, but that works out well, because I'm more active on the weekends anyway.
Yesterday, I went for a walk around the city again, running errands. It took me 1 hour 40 min, 55 min of which was actual walking. I covered 2 miles, carrying groceries for the last 1/2 mile.
I went at a slower pace, because my husband was with me (he doesn't like to power-walk), and honestly, my body just didn't want to move fast.
I was really sore and was thinking, "I don't have to workout tomorrow. I should take the day off to recover." But I realized that only my legs were sore, so I planned on doing abs and yoga workouts, because my abs weren't sore and my body could really use a good stretch.
So, today, I followed through with my plan and did the two short workouts, a total of 24 min. I'm proud of myself and really feel that I deserve to take the weekend off now, after working out 5 days in a row.
I feel that I'm off to a good start with my active lifestyle and hope to continue it next week.
I hope everyone had a good week. Have a fabulous weekend!
