Still walking....

Morning all! So after celebrating my year of 30 min. walks, I've moved on to a year 0f 40 min. workouts. They include biking, walking, strength training and more! Mixing it up and it feels wonderful! Although it's a hot one in the suburbs of Chicago today, I just came back from the greatest ride! There was actually a slight breeze! Admired a few peeping cardinals along the way, and made a pit stop at the farmer's market too! Life is good! 

I did it! Today is my 365th walk in a row!

One year of 30 minute walks completed! 365 daily walks in a row! Will celebrate with family and friends tomorrow! Whew!
And now, I will continue mixing it up even more! Can I continue 30 minutes every single day forever? Doubtful, but I must try. Let's see how long I can go. Send me your inspirational stories. They really help keeping me motivated!! And thanks for reading!

I'm Soooooo Close to My Goal! Day 362!!

Who the hell knew I could do this! My year of 30 minute walks have taught me a lot about myself. I now know I can make a goal and succeed at doing it. But keeping these walks fresh have been a challenge, which is why I mix it up constantly. I'm upping the incline on the treadmill up and down through much of it. I add arm weights often, and I change the speed throughout each walk. I even jump off twice during the 30 min. and run across the room sideways like the football & basketball players do in their workouts, to get my heart rate up! I feel a little silly doing it, but it gets the heart racing for sure!
All in all, I have to admit that I love my 30 minute walks outside the most. When the weather is just right and the air is crisp and it's quiet enough to hear the birds singing....makes me want to sing along with them! Now if I could only fly!
Okay.....3 more 30 min. walks left to scoring my goal! Yes!
