Ahhh thanks everyone for posting! I swear I keep losing track of where this is! LOL So heres an update I wrote yesterday but hadn't posted.
OK so my biggest challenge, apparently, is one I had suspected but didn't completely realize until now. *sigh* I seem to have some block on the drinking 8 cups a day goal. Amazingly enough I have gotten a lot better with the fresh fruit/veggie (or just packaged if nothing else) a day. Now that was a good start. I am more conscious of this now when I think about meals or snacks so that’s a good change.
Now I just need to do the whole water thing. A problem I have is I miss out during the day so come evening I try to drink some more to make up for it and lets just say that come bedtime that’s not a great solution. (As I sit here with a cup of water in front of me).
My motivation is pretty good and thanks to work I am forced exercise. I think this will continue to help my progress and start me in better habits all the way around.
I had a day off and went to a remote controlled air show today. Unfortunately I parked at the completely wrong area and had to walk nearly a mile to get there. My son was with me and he did remarkably well considering the heat but I think he was too distracted with the goal of the airplanes and helicopters to notice the distance. LOL
Before this we were going to ride to the library, and then I realized it was closed. That’s another fun ride that distracts him from the distance. LOL So at least I got a couple of miles of walking in and cut the back yard, which takes a while. SO all in all I am happy from the cardio perspective.
Now on to the strength training! I love looking at the different exercise online. Some give me such great, and simple, ideas for things. So task two is still more water and some strength training, at least a little!!!
*fingers crossed*
