Rain drops

I feel like I am behind everyone with being sick last week. Today I was able to get in a 2 mile walk out in the warm weather despite a few rain drops.  I find walking on the treadmill complete agony. I would rather walk outside then on the treadmill. I did hit my goal of doing two 10,000 step days over the weekend.  Yeah!  I have a hard time during the week with hitting the 10,000 steps, so I may just need to set a  more realistic goal and work my way to that.

Get moving

No matter what, this weekend I need to get moving. Sick or  not, I have to start getting some exercise in. Goal is to get 10,000 steps in today and tomorrow. One task that will help is to get the driveway cleared. Yep, this household hand shovels.

Slow Start

Well, it's been a slow start.  I have been sick since Saturday evening. Coughing, and more coughing. I am now sneezing and am stuffy. Missed 1 1/2 of work. Hubby is sick today with 102.5 fever.  Haven't exercised at all this week, hopefully I will start to feel better soon.

Here I go!

Officially weighed in today. Was able to enjoy my New Years resolution this afternoon, which was to walk at least once a month at a Park. Today hubby and I were out in Geauga county and walked around the 30 acre Lake at Walter Best Wildlife Preserve. Don't know if we can attach pictures, but will try. The picture is of the geese resting on the lake ice.
