Here is a little about my JOURNEY to a healthier ME!

I started a diet and the gym on June 1, 2011. My motivation was a trip that my husband and I took to Tennessee and North Carolina on our Harley. There were some beautiful waterfalls , and most of them you had to hike up the steep hills and mountains to see. I found that I was in terriable shape, and a lot of the times I would stay at the bottom of the trail waiting on my husband and friends to return with pic's and stories of the waterfalls, and all that they had seen. My heart would be pumping so hard in my ears, that it almost seemed that everyone else could hear it as well. I told myself right then, that after our arrival back home, I was going to get in shape and loose some weight....and that by next year I would be ready for another trip...........I would enjoy it to the fullest.

WALKING

When I first started walking each afternoon , I would only walk 30 min..after about 15 I would start looking at my watch...my thoughts would be I just dont know if I can walk anymore laps. After about the 2nd week I stopped looking at my watch..and just walked and walked, before long I was walking 30 min with no problem. I now walk about 45 to an hour. If I walk by myself I listen to my MP3 player, which really helps...I get to walking to the music and the time goes by before you know it. If someone walks with me...which is what I prefer, the time passes because we are so busy talking...imagine that....man the stories we can tell. I love the nice cooler days when there is a small breeze and the sky is blue. I have walked a few times in the morning...love that too...I just don't get a chance do that very often. I try to forget all worries and just enjoy the quite time and the smell of fresh cut grass ( and hope that there arent any neighbors grilling ) lol.....that makes me want to cut it short and head home for food.

    I, too, like walking now. In the beginning I couldn't walk to the end of my block without gasping for air. Now I walk about 3 miles several times a week. Yesterday, a year after I started this, I walked my longest distance at one time, 4.6 miles. I use the iphone app Runkeeper. I like stats so it keeps me competing against myself. "Keep on Keepin it Off"!!
