The basic rundown is that I went out of town to visit family and friends for about four or five days. The hard part was finding time to exercise. I couldn't go for walks in the mornings while my friends were sleeping, because I didn't have keys to their houses. I didn't want to leave activities to get exercise. The only real physical activity I participated in was walking back and forth between my friend's houses, but they were almost next door neighbors.
What kinds of activities do you all suggest for at least getting my heart rate up, or working my muscles a little without sneaking out of my friends' houses to go run/walk/exercise?
Sam, I'm so proud of you! It'll be easier once you have set a routine and have other motivation (ie, Liz time). If you cant go outside, try doing things in one place like jumping jacks/jump rope. Or, if there are stairs, walk those for 1/2 an hour. That'll really get your heart going. Love you and miss you!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Samantha! I am fully supportive, and am also going through a weight-loss regimen. You know what also helps? Accountabilibuddies :) Any time you want to work out together when you get here, let me know!
ReplyDeleteLiz, those were fantastic suggestions! I'll definitely keep those in mind the next time I visit.
ReplyDeleteKirsten, I would love to accountabilibuddy with you every once in a while. I find it's a lot easier to go to the gym when I know someone is expecting me.
