I got on the treadmill today for 20 minutes! I had the luxury of borrowing my daughter's ipod so that I could listen to the radio while walking. (I need to get one of these!) I absolutely love and am always blessed when I have the opportunity to listen to 97.9! The Midday Connection program was on and it was so nice to be able to listen and not think about what I was doing, exercising.
I think the thing I love most about walking is stretching afterwards! I have foot problems and so I have to be careful about this form of exercising. I love to sit on the floor and stretch out my legs and then lay down and stretch out my back! I even opted to see how many crunches I could do today! I started with a set of 15, took a little break and then did 15 more. Wow it feels really good to accomplish a little bit!
My goal is to do this every other day for the next two weeks and then add something else. Perhaps weights or some kind of workout video.
In my food/exercise journal I put down that I walked for 20 minutes, burned 177.1 calories, distance = .898, and did 30 crunches! This will help keep me accountable and help me track my progress and see when I need to bump things up to the next level.
Consistency is my worst enemy! But I have to jumpstart my weight loss again! I haven't met my goal yet and I am not going to stop doing all that I can until I am there!

I agree on the stretching. I tried yoga the other day and it was sooo relaxing while I was doing it. I felt it for the next 3 days though. LOL Keep up the good work!
