Day 29 - New Exercise Routine
I have finally figured why my walks are not as effective as they could be. The answers to all your exercise problems is to take a toddler with you. I promise that bringing them with you will increase your intensity and you never know by how much. WE were so tired yesterday we napped until 6:45pm, and I knew for my sake I better do something to wear him out. A walk sounded nice, until we actually finished our walk.

WARM UP-Check

We started by walking from our car, across a bridge, and back. It was at least a half mile, maybe more.

CARDIO-Check

After crossing the brige there is a path that my parents live 2 blocks away from. We walked, wait that's what we were supposed to do, we jumped, ran (even after I wanted to stop), walked backwards, and ran some more (definitely not by my choice).

STRENGTH TRAINING-Check

I had to carry him across a couple of streets towards the end of our walk.

COOL DOWN-A girl can dream, can't she?

Overall I believe I was the one to get worn out. He didn't fall asleep until midnight. After burning all those calories I needed to compensate with ice cream.

That had been my first thought. My next thought was that a root beer float would be better because I wanted ice cream and I was thirsty. Luckily it was a ten minute drive to my location, so I could slap the crazy thoughts out of my head. I ended up getting a Powerade with my meal and no ice cream. I struggle with feeling that I'm not progressing quick enough. Then I have moments like these that show me how much I have changed my lifestyle in 29 days. I am beginning to listen to my skinny me and it will only get better.
