Today's stats
Exercise: Walking around the lake
Time: 90 mins
Distance: 3.7 miles
The duct cleaners came today, and a chemical that they put up the ducts necessitated the pup and I leaving the apartment for 2 hours. So I turned my workout into taking the pup for a walk around Lake Elizabeth. Around that lake is 2 miles and it's approximately a half a mile to get there and a half a mile back. We took a slight detour to the dog park, but I used my nifty Fitbit to track all the walking.

Days 7 & 8 of 75
The stats are the same for each day, so here we go.
Today's stats
Exercise: Yoga
Time: 30 mins
I realized this weekend that the program on the DVD actually run 30 mins, not 28 mins like I saw... somewhere that I don't honestly recall now.
I'm loving my Fitbit so far. It's been really interesting to discover that I don't do a lot on the weekends and that it takes more steps than I knew to get around my apartment. There is suddenly an unspoken competition in our household. Josh really seems to enjoy showing me just how many steps he's done, leaving me behind in the dust. I should start doing better once I get on the treadmill tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I've made it through my first week of exercise, and I'll be honest, it was hard. But I wasn't willing to fail just a few days in. I am wondering if I should allow myself 2 or 3 days of off time, either planned or in case I get sick or hurt.

Day 6 of 75
Today's stats
Exercise: Treadmill walking
Time: 32 mins
Distance: 1.6 miles
Calories: 255
Heart rate: 146 (avg)/184 (max)
So, 2 mins into walking I may have... *cough*... fallen off the treadmill. *cough* No worse for wear, but I had to start over hence the extra 2 mins. Originally, I had thought to do 45 mins again, but I feel wiped out. I have to remember that it's going to take a little bit for my body to get used to doing something every day. I also think a sore muscle in my neck is keeping me from sleeping well. :/
I came back up from the fitness room and found a box on the doorstep. My Fitbit is here! It's charging as I type. I need to measure my stride length so I can track distance walked.
