Happy Sunday! It is the start of a new week, and I have 5 days I need to work out. Today my husband and I went for about a 50 minute 2.5 mile walk, so I have 4 more days of 'workouts' and 2 days of full-round stretching. Last week was 3 days on, 1 day off, and I'm happy to announce I am moving along successfully! I worked out Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and Friday right before I went to bed I stretched.
Can I mention that the stretching was not only suuuuuuuper needed, but it also felt wonderful. I can't believe the stretches where I'm still really flexible (since I used to dance), and the stretches were I was like "oh. wait. hmmm. that should be better...." (because, there were a few, even though I don't want to admit it!)
However, I have noticed that a 2.5-3 mile walk no longer feels like a 'good workout'. I'm sweaty, for sure, but it's not as intense as it used to be. That's definitely a good thing, but it's also a reminder that I have to 'up the ante' on my workouts. In fact, on Thursday, I even threw in a few spurts of running (and from someone cringes when other say 'I went running' this is impressive!).
With 25 more days, I have to remember to take it one at a time and plan out my week, so that I have enough time / days to get in a full workout. Stay tuned! And if you're joining in, enjoy your workouts!
