Walking

Yesterday Jan 18 and today Jan 19 I made myself get out and walk. Last night's walk occurred after a whole day of a miserable headache. After finally getting some relief in the evening I decided to walk in hopes that it would get the circulation going and help further improve my head situation. When I finished I felt good and took a shower and washed my head. There was still some soreness on the left side of my head but still felt better.

Tonight I got a late start. I had to take care of a nearly due sales tax report. Got started walking at 9pm and finished at 9:30pm. Both nights I walked 1.9 miles by the pedometer. I had to stop tonight because of discomfort in my hips. I didn't want to overdue so that I would not be able to work on my job well tomorrow. I would like to get a pedometer that measures steps. I want to be like soleman and get in 10,000 steps a day.

Trying to watch the quantity of food eaten. Will do better on the quality as I gain energy to plan and prepare the food we need to eat. I DO NOT want to buy fast food any more!!!!

Step #3

I am exceedingly tired tonight and think I will go to bed early. It is 8:30pm now. I have been retiring too late for me the last many nights around 11ish. I am done for today:-)

I hope to get my blood glucose test strips soon as I have run out. Meant to get them tonight and forgot :-(. I want to start posting my morning fasting blood glucose.

Step #2

We walked again last night Jan.11. It was a beautiful night with cool air, a slight breeze. I felt very good and thought perhaps we would add an extra street onto our once around the park walk. However as we came up the last street on the first round, I knew I couldn't do the extra bit. So we stopped with once around.

A step forward

Tonight hubby and I went for a walk once around our park. That was enough for a start. I am going to have to start setting aside time for planning- shopping/w/coupons even if I have to take a half day off to get it accomplished. I have been working extra hours and need to back off and try to get my home back as a priority. We both need to get the weight off and eating out is costly in a monetary way and a health way.
