Walking Program Update 1

Well, we took just over a week off. We were going to walk on June 28, but we got a thunderstorm, which kept us from doing our walk. Friday and Saturday we did a lot of yard work, including cutting branches from our tree...a lot of hard work, so we felt that was good enough for our exercise. We were really sore. Then Sunday we got a bad storm which knocked out neighbors tree down...it rested against our tree, roof and gutters...so, we had another day of cutting tree limbs. All this previous week was extremely hot, so we didn't walk. Saturday morning, when we were still in the heat wave, we went for our first walk, again, for the first time in over a week (unfortunately we didn't know it was going to cool off in the evening, otherwise we would've held off on walking until it was cooler). Today we did our walk again...back on track with walking. We agreed that next week, Sunday, we would add one minute of running to our routine. Although, our town carnival starts this week Wednesday, so we will walk two miles round trip there, plus the walking at the carnival...and we'll do the same thing next Sunday (we go for the fireworks, okay, and the funnel cake too). :) this will be a food week for getting more active and back on track.
