So who said I couldn't workout on the weekends? Yup that would be me.
It's been like 2-3 weeks and I think I have a routine down lol. I plug in one evenign during the week to get in like 20 minutes (it's usually more) of walking then I take two 30 minute walks on Sat and Sun. At first I was like "no one exercises like this. I'm supposed to do 3 days a week and have the weekends free". Then it dawned on me today...aren't Sat and Sunday still days of the week? lol. I realized that in the past I have been looking at what others are doing/what WW suggests/doctor recommends and basing my activity level off that then berating myself when I couldn't stick to something that someone else who knows nothing about my body or activity level said lol.
And the kicker thing is...I FEEL GOOD! I mean I know I have lost some inches in my waist even if the scale is still being stupid (I lost 2 of the 2.2 I gained last week after Beerfest lol). Am actually excited to be working out regularly again. And by the way I have also been telling myself that walking isn't a "workout". That 20 minutes isn't enough because my heart rate's not getting up. All this stuff I've been saying in my head and for what? I used to not want to bend over to pick up a piece of garbage if I'd dropped it 6 months ago! Now if I'm walking I may actually stop to pick up other people's trash just cause it throws off the exteics of my walking path lol...LMAO....I just really needed to jot down this view I had on exercise. It seems like because everyone has a say on how to exercise and what works I was trying to take all that in but not make it my own. I am proud that I walk. I am proud that I walk on the weekends and during the week. PERIOD. If that's not good enough for somebody else then oh well. It works with my schedule (not against it!) cause I'm planning them out and I'm limiting the times so I don't back out or get let down. And I feel great and isn't that the point?
Am really sleepy now, been running errands and getting crap together for my agent so I am going to treat myself to a nap and then go to the gym (for the first time in like a year and a half) with my friend Mary and treat myself to a eliptical machine and a swim before work. Look at me...WEEKEND WARRIOR! I missed my Thursday 15 minute walk so this willnot only be a treat (I love the pool), but I will more than make up for it! Okay I don't like the sounnd of making up...no I am moving on....saving up for a better workout? I don't know but I don't want to say make up because that sounds like I'm judging myself a little bit. Like I HAVE to or something will happen lol. Moving on..yeah. I know I'm making up but I willJedi mind trick myself and simply not work it that way lol.
Okay I know I just blew yall with that last paragraph lol. Am sleepy lol...
