ChristyLA's Journal, 25 April 2014

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!

I love the walking. I just did it today but I can handle doing it every day. I am a smoker (for now) so I can't walk as fast as I used to. But I'm not going to fix my sites on staying there....the cigarettes are the next horrid thing to go!!

Wow! That is a looong walk! And especially long if you took it at a power-walk pace! :) You're doing great! Keep up the great work!

I used to be a smoker too, Angie. I quit 5 years ago after smoking for 13 years. My husband smoked for 34 years and quit 3 years ago. It just takes putting your mind to it and it sounds like you're determined :) Don't forget that there are products and services you can get to help you quit. You will quit when you're ready :)

Euheide, it was only a total of 2 miles and it took 55 min, so it wasn't a fast walk. I can walk a 15-min mile when I really put my mind to it, so this was almost double that. But it was still a lot of activity, because I also did some shopping and carried groceries for a 1/2 mile :) Thanks for all your support!
