| Here comes rain again. |
This week has all the promise of spring wrapped into it with high temperatures supposed to be in the 70's after today's rain passes. So, that means I am going to try to get back on track with my exercising. Since I am still not sleeping totally well, waking up coughing due to drainage, I am going to ease myself back into things. (A little is better than nothing, right?)
I live in a great walking neighborhood. The streets are not busy. My home sits on a half mile block that I can easily walk around in less than 10 minutes. My goal for this week is to simply walk around that block once a day, taking a kid with me, in addition. I know it is not very much, however, it will accomplish one big thing, and that is get me out the door! I am still coughing up stuff (sorry to be gross) and so I do not want to go overboard in the aerobic department until that is gone.
If all goes well, I will add a second lap next week, until I am back to my normal health. It is hard to want to get moving again with lack of good sleep, so just putting my walking shoes on would be a success! Illness, injury have taken a tole on me this winter.
I also need to get back to my stretching, so I plan to do that 2 times this week in addition to the gentle walking.
I'll let you know how it goes Friday!

So glad you are having some spring weather. I hope you start healing and get to get out more. We've been walking a lot lately, it's been great. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. We just keep passing this stuff around and around. ( even with all the cleaning ect). I am sick again. Just as I was starting to get back on track with exercise. So I am with you one step and one block at a time...if the rain will let up.
ReplyDeleteI like your plan. Walking is so good for you physically and emotionally. Take it easy and you will get it done. When I first started I could only walk a few minutes but I kept at it and now I love it!
