Overall, I have been doing a good job keeping up with my daily challenges. I have definitely increased my daily water intake, though I still need to reduce the amount of other things like tea and soda. I am trying to limit that to just meal time. Most days, I am successful at it, but some days I do drift off course a bit. All in all, though, I am pleased with the progress. I have also been doing well with my wardrobe. I enjoy dressing up for work and people have definitely noticed. Only occasionally have a "dressed down". And that has usually been because my shirt is too short to tuck in LOL People have noticed that too when I'm a little more casual. I'm enjoying it though!
So, I am looking for my next challenge. This one is one that I have constantly had in the back of my mind but haven't done anything about it yet. Frankly, because I have been lazy and have been complacent in my daily routine. Basically, I need to start doing some kind of daily exercise. And I have to stop counting work as exercise, even though I get in a lot of steps each day at work. I can't use that as an excuse anymore.
My doctor advised me to get in at least 20 minutes of good walking every day. I can do that, I believe. It's just a matter of making myself do that. Of course, I have to figure out how to get that into my routine. Where to insert it, to be exact. Now that the time has changed, I'm not sure how much daylight will be available to me after work and I don't want to use that as an excuse. I also am not crazy about walking around my neighborhood after dark either LOL
But, it also does not have to be walking all the time. There are other things I can do. Heaven knows we have enough exercise equipment to open our own gym it feels like. And we don't use what we have so I need to start taking advantage of that. It will help me physically and mentally, I believe. I have never been in good shape and now, as I am inching my way towards 50, it is time to start working towards that goal. Here's hoping!
That is all.
