A little effort

Well, it is amazing what just a little effort will do.

I had a great run this morning - 32:22! My best time in quite a while. I was really pleased. I also had time for pushups, squats, and lunges.

Today was my weekly weigh in and I'm down another two pounds. Just eating healthy and consistently exercising has shown results!

I had an interesting run this morning. First, I was up at 5:30 this morning. I'm ok with that because for the past two nights I've finally been sleeping again. Anyway, I ran a bit early then. The interesting part was that my iPod battery died at the 1/2 way point and it made me enjoy the run a bit more. I noticed much more how pretty it was and how neat the sky looked when it was a purple backdrop for the palm trees. Anyway, I love my iPod but I did without (out of necessity!) and it was good!

Congratulations! Consistency is the key I think. You just have to keep at it and the results do come.

I love my iPod, too, but do walk without it once in a while. Just to enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning. Not today though. Took Neil Diamond with me so had to move with him!

The Waelchli's are here and we're having fun.

Going to be a gorgeous day today. +48 they are prediciting and it's +31 already. Might walk outside with Mom this afternoon just for fun.

Have a good day.

Thanks! And I do believe you are correct about consistency.

Here is the other thing - I honestly don't think I was really ready to be dedicated. I was exercising....well, somewhat consistently. But there were times when I would take an entire week off. I also didn't really change my eating. There was a lot of junk food involved. Not beating myself up about it, just saying. I wasn't ready! But I practiced a bit earlier and now here I am, solidly on the road! Just takes practice - like a lot of things!

Wow! Beautiful day for you! Sounds like a great day for extra exercise! Did you walk on the the treadmill this morning?

Yay Neil! That sounds fun. I might take today off - I'm really sore. And sort of busy!
