Addicted to walking :)

Since I got home from Disney, I have had a new outlook. If I could put all my energy and focus towards a goal like taking my kids to Disney, then I could also put those skills towards another goal.

Hence my new challenge. :D

I am applying my focus to getting healthy. I have been recording my food on http://www.sparkpeople.com/ and doing cardio Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and strength training on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

I don't know what was wrong Sunday...was just blah :( but yesterday I was off work (so had no excuse to walk to work) For the past two weeks I have been walking 6-7 kms 3 times a week. So I walked from my place to Citadel Hill, went up (without stopping - nearly died) - not really lol - and went around a couple times pumping my arms :) and then walked down the other side to Sackville street and walked down to the waterfront. I sat there (after strretching of course) :) and had my lunch that I packed. I then took a bus home.I mapped the route on www.mappingmyfitness.com and it was an 8.67 walk!!! :D I felt much better. I think I'm addicted to that feeling afterwards :) I guess there is worse things to be addicted to.

I had thought at first to take Sunday off - but now I think I will still get out and walk but I will coax my unsuspecting kids out with me on Sundays. I will take it easier and only walk 3 kms with them. ;)

talk later,
