Went walking with Melinda today, in the heat of the day, to the pharmacy and the library. I was pretty out of breath and she had to slow down for me. But it gives me the desire to commit again.

Ellen's Efforts

Because my foot had been hurting, I decided to give up walking for a while and go with riding the exercise bike. I also started doing some weight lifting, roughly following the Body for Life program. So, on Monday three weeks ago I worked on upper body, on Wednesday I did lower body, and on Friday I did upper body again. Plus, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I rode the bike for 20 minutes each day. Then the second week I did lower body on Monday, upper body on Wednesday, and lower body on Friday. Repeat with the bike. Third week, same as the first. Now I've started the fourth week, and I need a little umph in me. Didn't ride the bike this morning, but Melinda encouraged me to go for a walk with her and Oceana. I was surprised at how out-of-breath and tired I was. I appreciate Melinda's encouragement! We walked to the post office and the library, so I guess we walked for over 20 minutes. Even though BFL says you only have to do aerobics for 20 minutes a day, I've recognized that I need to increase that time. And I still prefer walking over biking, so hopefully I can start doing that some more. In fact, Julie reminded me about the Freedom Festival's Fun Run on July 4, and I've entered the 1-mile event with her and Olivia. I'm excited to participate!

Jen's week #2

I wanted to try to exercise 4 times this week, but only made it 3.  On Monday, I jogged 2 miles on the treadmill, on Tuesday i did pilates, and today I jogged for 2 miles on the treadmill.  Now, keep in mind that when i say jog, its a jog/walk.  I jog for a quarter if a mile, then walk for a quarter.  Hopefully ill be in more shape soon enough that when i say jogged for 2 miles, it will be the full 2 miles I jogged.  My friend got back from California last night, so i plan to exercise with her 4 days next week.  I hope I can get up on time!
