Dog Walk

Well, I didn't do my "stepladder" cardio today because I was going to walk to dogs with the hubs...

Which I did, but he didn't :/

Kinda hoped he would be he was adamant that he wasn't. Apparently when I left he was getting dressed to go. But he waited til I was changed, dogs collared and leashed, before he started getting ready. When I kissed him goodbye and didn't make any say that he was going. Said I rushed out too fast for him to finish getting ready. I hoped he would join so walked slow the path we have taken before... And he could have met me one street over when I weave back down.

But whatever.

The point is. I went and I walked for 30 minutes up and down hills in my neighborhood.

Dogs sound like they run a marathon, but goodness knows they need the exercise too!

A Month Later...

So when I wrote that last post?
I didn't exercise that week.

Or the week after (husband was on vacation).

BUT the third week?? We BOTH walked the dogs a few times that week. I would even sneak in treadmill time before he got home since the dog walk was only about 20 minutes long!

Same for this week but he has been getting home too late to want to go walking... But at least I get treadmill time in. Nothing much, of course, since I am just starting out again. But the "program" for 30 minute cardio I am following can be intense. I got it off of pinterest here. The stepladder?? I have to jog at 4.5 and 5.0. I have short legs! Haven't done the weight training part of it. Either I need heavier weights, or just wasn't impressed with that part.

On my Health/Fitness pinterest board, I have a lot of motivational ideas though. I might try to implement them this week. One of them is a money reward system for workouts. BUT I think I want to combine it with a reward for pounds lost. Maybe $1 for each workout and $1 for each pound lost. Not sure though because that is a lot of money!! (I hope...)

Good luck on all your exercise adventures! I will TRY TRY TRY to keep updated more! Maybe I will have more progress to update on!
