Oh rats! I didn't even make a week before I fell behind with my journal. Sorry to anyone who might be reading this! Anyway, my computer was out of commission for most of the weekend, so that's my excuse for the delay in posting. However, good news! I still did my workouts and got in a lot of extra walking. I've also done better with making good food choices although I did make some chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they are not lasting long. I'm not the only one eating them, though. :)
Let's see, I'm not having any soreness or strain from increasing my exercise, so I'm very happy about that. I'll stick to just doing 2 sets of 10 reps for the strength exercise for this entire week before I decide whether or not to increase it. I'm not as worried about the walking. I think adding to my walks should be fine, it's when I start running that I think I'll run into more problems. I also should probably consider getting a decent pair of running sneakers, but that can wait for now. I want to get up to 4-5 miles of walking a day before I start including some running. The sneakers I have now are good for walking and light running so I have time.
The weather is cooler this week, so I definitely should take advantage of that for outdoor exercise. I just wish I lived near the ocean. I love the salty air and looking out into the never ending blue where the ocean and sky meld into one. Ah, well. Maybe one day.
