Actually got my walk in!

Alicia called me at 10:08am and asked if I could come in at 1pm today instead of 11:30am. I told her that I could. That gave me time to go walk on the treadmill. I walked at a very slow pace and was able to do 10 minutes. It was very long and very boring. I didn't turn the TV on and I didn't have my iPod. Walking in that small room is not for me. I want to be out on the trail to do my walking. I'm going to have to give it a whirl and see if I can do the small loop. I think that takes about 15 minutes. It would be worth the drive over there to do it. I really didn't like the treadmill. I'm glad I discovered that before I bought one! Yikes! I just would much rather be outside than in a cramped room on a treadmill. I think that's why the YMCA didn't work for me. I don't like walking inside. I only walked for 10 minutes, didn't even break a sweat and my legs are already sore. I'm so out of shape!

I am looking forward to my 5:30pm meeting. I want to weigh in no matter where I am with my weight. It will give me the push I need whether I've lost, stayed the same or gained. Any of them will be impetus to work harder at eating healthier foods and trying to increase my activity level. I'm so sore that I don't think I can shower this morning. I'll be okay if I don't (I mean I'm not smelly or sweaty or anything lol). It's terrible to be this out of shape. I so look forward to losing weight and being in shape again. It's going to take time but what's the alternative. Staying like I am or even getting worse. I don't want that for me. I have to at least try to lose weight. WW is definitely the way to go for me. It's a lifestyle change not a diet. I can have whatever I want within reason. I do have to stay away from the trigger foods (cookies, donuts, cake, candy, soda) and that's why I threw away the cookies yesterday. I have choices to make and I have to make smart ones.

I think I'm going to go take a shower anyway. Maybe it will help with the soreness. More later.
