With the spurt of great weather last week, I decided I was going to start to get super active. Activity and going to the gym has really been at the forefront on this lifestyle journey. It's not because I don't like to be active or exercise, it’s actually quite the opposite. All of my life I have taken dance lessons and still to this day love it. When I got into high school I began going to the gym regularly to strengthen my muscles as to help my dancing ability. But alas in my old age I have become what they call a "couch potato.”
To enhance my willingness to take part in activity I went to Walmart and bought out pretty much everything they had. I bought a basketball (there is a basketball court across from my house), a few fitness DVDs (one that is a country line dancing fitness DVD, pretty stoked about that one), a couple hand weights (no more than 3lbs. though) and also weights for ankles (was thinking about wearing them whenever I wore long pants). With full intention of using these great pieces of fitness magic, but they still haven’t left the bag and I bought these items over a week ago.
I have kept up with my walking. I promised myself I would walk for a minimum of one mile per day and so far I have been pretty on track. I even walked 2.6 miles the other day, mostly because I made plans with two separate people.
Hopefully today (since it’s beginning to look like another beauty) I can actually put to use some of my fitness investment!
