More than a week ago, I began walking every morning before work. I wanted to at least get a week under my belt before I told anyone because there was every chance I wouldn't even make it more than a couple of days. There is still that chance, of course, but I thought it was time to share.
Why walking? Well, as you know, I have a stationary bike that I have on occasion used. Even when I use it regularly, I'm not so sure it helps very much, but mainly, I'm just not into it anymore. In fact, I hate that dang thing.
Walking is supposedly among the best types of exercise. It also allows me to get out & about a bit (which I need), and I can take my dog with me.
I am starting out very SLOWLY though. You might not realize, but walking is actually very difficult when you carry around as much weight as I do. Literally within 10 or 15 minutes, my back, neck, and shoulders start really aching.
But I have a plan. There is a nice park up the street from my house. One day I will actually make it to that park, and then after that I will actually make it around the park and back home. And then I will make it around the park multiple times. And then I will jog to the park. And then I will jog around the park multiple times. AND THEN, I will jog to work. Yes, I've just gone insane.
Right now, I don't even make it to the park. But that's ok ...
