Backslide Big Time

Went to the Doctor today with bronchitis. They weight me at 160, yikes. Now this is too much information, but I weigh myself first thing in the morning in my birthday suit. Anyway, that is still way too much and must show some gain. I adjusted my scale and I am starting from there.

My blood pressure was also up. Now this is about not having to get on a lot of medications to keep me from having a heart attack or stroke.

As soon as I can breath, I am going to start walking/jog = wog. I need to get my cardiovascular system back in shape. I already have all the veggies and stuff to get back on track with the food. As soon as summer gets here I am going to collect a bunch of sisters and start a water work out in our mom's pool. Stay tuned.

Big Ole Gardening Day

I gardened from 9:00 this morning to 4:00 this afternoon. I would say I took about 9o minutes of break time during the day. Gardening burns more calories than my walking does, but it's not as good aerobic exercise. So I am going to give myself five miles worth. Calories burned are about 272 an hour bringing today's total to 1361. If I kept my yard perfect I might be thin.

Doing a Little Better

Ate okay today. Not perfect, but did not over eat and had some veggies. I did garden this afternoon. The hard kind moving compost and such. I added up those calories and matched them to the calories burned walking. I added it to my walking ticker. My gardening counts.

I actually did it.

I actually did it. I went for the walk. Even though none of the sisters would go with me and it was dark and scary, I did it. I walked 1.5 miles. Not much I know, but it's a start. I hope to walk every day that Manly Man is off. That will be ten days and should get me in the habit. Plus I am going to look for one of those virtual walk thingies. Where should I virtual walk to? Christy is walking to Rivendall.

Okay, I couldn't find a good virtual walking ticker thingy so I put together that turtle ticker. That's how I feel slow and steady wins the race:)
