When I decide to work out, I get totally pumped up! I'm focused, and I have a plan. Somewhere around two weeks my motivation slips from my grasp, I begin cheating on my diet and it all goes to heck! I've started this series of 40 day challenges so I can make small steps toward my physical well-being. The first 40 days began with lent, I gave up red meat. Actually it wasn't so hard, I didn't miss it at all. Turkey burgers for me please!! I struggled with what my next 40 day challenge was going to be. No bread, no starch.... arg! Finally it hit me! Instead of giving up something, I'd do something... 40 days of 30 min of walking. Yesterday I went to this park in Kettering and walked around for about 30 minutes. It felt good. This morning I DRAGGED my self out of bed ( I had to stay up and watch my President, Obama report that Osama bin-Laden was dead...which kept me up until about 1 am) and went to the campus rec and walked on the treadmill at and average of 3.6 mph for 20 min, then back to my apartment. Total time 33 minutes. Not bad. In fact I was feeling sexy just listening to my music on the treadmill.. partially dancing, partially walking.. it was fun! I realized in 20 minutes that I really do like working out. So I'm praying today that God will continue to give me the strength to get up in the morning and do something simple... walk for 30 minutes. Take my mind off all the things I have to do and just walk. Not think about how I don't have time...but just walk... for 30 minutes!
I'm going to try and blog about my 40 day journey. Can't say I'll write every day but I'll keep ya updated!
Until next time!
