I did it! I did my first 2 mile walk at lunch. It went well, even though I forgot my sunglasses. So much for a fitness walk... I started off with a cigarrette! LOL... even starting off, at the foot of the Shelby Street Bridge, and going UP HILL... it can really be a bitch of a hill for flabby people like me, some older guy was walking up behind me, and he commented "damn, if she can do that hill with a cigaretter, she's good to go!" yeah right... but I did it! And it felt GREAT! I'm going to try and get some other people at work ready to do this too! Hopefully I'll have a chance to get a flyer together this afternoon... I'm thinking of a headline... "put on your walking shoes" ?
Steps taken today: 12,450

Got myself into the gym even though my legs were sore from my workout yesteday. I meant to do 30 minutes but I ended up doing 35 minutes! Yay me!! Yesterday at Target I got a heart rate monitor, it was a good price and I've been interested in one for quite a while. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer, 10 on the Arc trainer and 10 on the bike. Felt good!
I also today looked up walking routes around work I could do at lunch. I was able to come up with a good one that is a 2 mile loop going over the river downtown twice! :) It'll be fun. And the weather forecast says no rain at least the early part of this week. I'm thinking about asking others at work if they're interested in joining me.... maybe. Let's see if I do it first of all... but then getting others involved is a good way to keep myself involved.

Finally got into the gym... it's hard. I was so friggin' stressed out this past week. I want life to be easier!!! and then I'll take better care of myself..... I know I know, it doesn't work that way. Stress will be better handled as I exercise more (and PMS is absent)....
Today at the gym I did 20 minutes of cardio (10 minutes on the treadmill and 10 on the elliptical trainer) and then did a full body strength training workout. Took it easy, only 2 sets of 2 different exercises per muscle group.
