Walking Around the Block

Today was not so cold out so after doing a good round of situps and pushups, off my stairs. Thank hubby for the good advice here. Makes it easier than trying to do them on my knees or full blown version, yet!

I braved the Canadian winter and took Skyla around the block. She is a really strong lab and loves to pull, so I had to devise a way so that she was not pulling me over in the snow. I ended up putting her leash across my shoulder blades so if she pulled I used my arm as a lever and shortened the leash. It was a tough hour and hard going but we made it around the 4.5 km back home for a nice bowl of Butternut squash and sweet potato soup.

Not sure who is going to be more sore, my shoulders or Skyla! Skyla is three now and if I don’t conquer her pulling when we walk it will be impossbile to do so in the future.

I am feeling really good right now and my stomach muscles are sore so that must be a good sign.

Two Days In

Well I am two days in and have been doing my exercises the best that I can. They are definitely hard to do and I try to push myself but also do not want to rip a muscle or anything. My goal right now is just to get into a routine and then develop the exercises more as I go.

Once home for the day I let the dogs run and do laps running and walking for about 25mins, so we have all had our exercises. For dinner, this week I don’t have to cook for anyone but myself, which is actually a blessing. So I am sticking to stir frys with a ton of veggies. Berries are bountiful right now and I am mixing, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries with low fat yogurt for a healthy mid morning snack. Lunch is a pita bread with turkey breast and cucumber. I am aiming for 1500 calories or under.

I am feeling good about what I have done so far and want to continue to improve as I go, plus add more of the exercises. It is hard just to try and do a push up on my knees!! Let alone lying down and standing up in a row, I got to six at my best point so far.

For sure I have a long way to go, but am looking forward to it. This time it is a challenge I will beat!

Til next time.
