I am so proud of you, and what a great idea to make it family walks together in the evenings! Keep up the good work G!!
Why?I went to Weight Watchers today. I almost cried.
I have only missed one day so far. Last night I skipped walking. We were out late and if I walked then I would have missed my Sat night with my wife which is some of the only time each week that we get to spend with each other. I was not going to miss that so I made the decision that if I promised myself that I walk the following day no matter what then I could skip Saturdays walk.
DW went to get on the treadmill this morning and after a few minutes called me downstairs. The treadmill is broken. Figures, we have this thing for 5 years and almost never use it and now that we decide to put it to use it breaks. Well we didn't let it stop us. We went outside and went on a family walk. I pushed myself a little harder than I had in the past. I think the short time I have been walking already has given me just a little more juice than when I started. I would walk past my wife and kids on the hills and then circle back to them after the hills. DW was pushing the stroller up them (she wants the extra challenge) so the hills were more difficult for her than for me. I reached our end point at the same time as usual, but if you add in all the circling back I did then it was a longer distance in the same amount of time.
I will just have to make a point of walking outside until we can get the treadmill fixed, not that that is a bad thing. I enjoy being outside, but I get a more consistent workout on the treadmill. Each has its pluses and minuses.
