Back at it.......

Well we re-re-re-re-re-joined Weight Watchers this past Tuesday, and so far so good. It is definitely helping me get more activity in, in fact I finally went for a swim today. I really enjoyed it and may even go again tomorrow. Also, as the temperatures start cooling off the timing is perfect for some walks or hikes through the trails. There are lots of nearby options, I don't have to keep walking the same old street routes. I think it is time to start discovering some new walking routes that are a bit more scenic.

Got another walk in again today. they have been shorter walks but hey at least I am getting out there right???

Went for a walk tonight. Yay!!

so have walked and walked and when I was done walking -walked some more -- I could not even avoid the rain because yes we were puppy sitting. It was a lot of fun and really good for my exercise plan. I am a little worried that the puppy has gone home and I am going away for a few days. Oh well it is almost habit now. I am also trying to park further from stores etc so that I get at least a few extra steps in. Wish me luck off to write an exam.

Keeping it up

Got my walk in yesterday too. At least three days in a row now yay!!

Walking does wonders to clear the mind.

When I lived in Vancouver I used to start every day with a 45min-1 hr walk by the beach. I would pick up a Starbucks along the way and sit on a park bench for a bit and just look out over the water. That was very calming and a good time to think. Sometimes when I am struggling with a decision or other things, going for a walk helps clear my head and somehow the answer comes to me. I forgot about that and now am realizing how important that was/is to me. And as much as I like swimming, it isn't the same as my thoughts are consumed by counting lengths, mthinking about my stroke etc. although it is a great way to just get away from everything but walking is different. So in addition to all the fitness/weightloss benefits, it is also very helpful mentally as well. Yet one more reason to keep on going.

On a roll

So I went for a walk yesterday too, my longer route again and it was great. I could feel myself starting to pick up the pace a bit as well- yay! I am also doing weight watchers again (on my own for now) and am down 2 pounds. Now if only this stupid strike would be over I could start swimming.

Todays planned walk is a trip to the library, prbable a medium walk.

About to head out...

... even though it looks like it is about to rain. I actually like walking on stormy days.

Was out earlier walking around and am about to go out for a second.

Here I go.
