Day 1 Exercise

I am proud to say that I walked 1.5 miles last evening and it felt great. We would have went further, but I ended up with blisters on my heels. Seems like there is always a negative for every positive. This is okay in chemistry, but not for weight loss. I’ll put band aids on my heels and get out there again tonight. I would love to go now, but I have a full day ahead of me. I have been feeling very tired lately, and of course that is my excuse for not exercising. The reason I am feeling sluggish is because I do not get enough exercise. Walking is my exercise of choice. I am hoping to build up to 3 miles in the next couple of weeks. I used to walk 8 miles a day–4 miles in the morning and 4 in the evening. It has been too many years since I have been on a walking schedule. I hope that I keep it up this time. Of course, there are always the usual excuses
1. It is too cold outside
2. It is raining outside
3. I am too busy
4. It is dark outside
5. And about 100 more

I am going to look into some walking videos. I have some stashed away in the attic. My sister introduced them to me several years ago. I did not think I would like the videos, but they were actually fun, and you could get through 3 or 4 miles in about 45 minutes. I will post a link to them if I find them. I am going to have my hair cut today. Hopefully, it will make me feel a bit better about myself. I have been feeling very frumpy lately. I think I am going to succeed with my weight loss this time. I am still piecing together the old WW exchange system. I went off track yesterday, but today is another day.
