I weighed in this morning at 185.2lbs.

That is *0.2lbs less* than yesterday. Every little bit helps.
One day at a time.

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne...

Losing weight, getting fit, running my 1st 5K, ... these are a few of my goals for 2014. I have tried before but have been unsuccessful. I feel I do a good job, for a while, then something happens and I put "my" goals on the back burner. What can I do differently in 2014? Set up smaller goals building up to one the big goals. I want to run my first 5K. Well, I need to get up off my butt and start walking, a mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, and keep decreasing the time it takes me to travel the 5miles. Yes, I am aiming to be able to run 5 miles so that when I run the 5K (3.3miles) I'm already building up toward another goal (running a half marathon). I also am aiming to run my first 5K by March, April at the latest. *sigh* I hope I am not being over zealous. By the way, I have heard of Couch to 5K and I do plan on using it. I use the LoseIt app to track my caloric intake. So far in 2015, I have logged everyday. While 5 days does not seem like a long time, it has been a challeng...

2010_0606 Walking

I think I have given up getting a gym membership, finding a baby sitter so I can exercise and having an adult walking buddy. My approach, which seems to be working, is to put my two toddlers into the double stroller and go for a walk. I try to time it so they either eat snacks on the trip or right before they take a nap so they sleep the bulk of the walk. So far, so good. Last week I walked a total of 16 miles. This week I will try to beat that mileage by at least one mile. Today was a good start, I walked 4.5 miles. One day at a time, one mile at a time. I have also picked up a Nike+ sensor but am not totally sure how to use it. It worked great twice but the past 2 walks have given me bad readings. I must be hitting something that causes the sensor to say I am walking at a pace of 0/mile. Today I know the path I took ends up being 4.5 miles and the sensor said it was 0.9miles. My next stop after this blog posting is to visit Nike and try to figure out how to get the sensor to record p...
