In all honesty, I could just kick myself for slacking off on the excercise program. I worked really hard for about three months, got married and POOF. Excercise? What excercise? So on Monday I started over.
I swear the track at the high school used to be a lot shorter. Nonetheless, I tackled my plan to get two miles under my belt during my lunch hour. After adjusting my iPod shuffle and taking a very deep breath, I walked the straights and "wogged" the curves. I felt pretty darn good until I started the third lap. I thought someone was tapping me on the shoulder but it was just my butt trying to keep up the pace. Leg muscles were screaming at me and my body was gasping for more oxygen. I managed to get through eight laps without collapsing. I walked one more lap just to catch my breath.
Tuesday morning found me moving rather slowly. But my determination prevailed. I had a previous engagement at lunch so I had to wait until after work to do some form of excercise. The track was full of walkers and jaw-jackers when I drove by the school so I decided to hit the 3-1/2 mile trek at the Back Forty. I didn't quite make the full hike due to waiting so late in the evening to get started. And let's just say that the incline for the first mile is a bitch. I never heard so much huffing and puffing in all my life. But the sunset was absolutely gorgeous on my hike back to the house.
Today will mark another milestone in the new chapter of my life. My hair dresser has agreed that we need to do update the hair style. No more ponytails on bad hair days. (I think Sam is struggling with the idea of me with short hair.)
My workout bag is packed for my noon excursion. This may sound crazy but I'm actually looking forward to it. Two miles isn't really that far.....when traveling in a car!
