Walk it off...literally...
I found a new favorite thing that I like to do ! And its walking. 2 weeks ago I brought a pair of Nike sneakers just for that purpose. I said to myself "Im actually going to use them and not leave them in my closet to collect dust." Then one day I put them on and began walking. I find something so calming and relaxing about walking. Sometimes I just look at the scenery or listen to music. It honestly makes me feel great. More energized and I feel like I can take on the world. Not only is it good to shed a few pounds, but its awesome because im out the house doing something for myself. Today I walked 3 miles and I feel amazing. Im trying to walk at least every other day. I never thought something so simple as walking can have such a positive impact on how I feel. If I'm having a bad day I just go for a walk and I feel a little better. Each day I plan to walk a little further than before.

Walking while pushing a stroller actually burns a good amount of calories. 2 summers ago I lost 10lbs by walking every day and pushing my daughter in the stroller.
ReplyDeleteWalking is always fun :)
ReplyDeleteGood job! I used to walk 4 miles a day in about an hour. It kept me in really good shape, but I think it was a lot to keep up, to the point where I started dreading it. So don't push yourself too much!
