Bring It On!

Bring on the summer, a time when it is so much easier to just get out there and get moving! Taking walks is so much easier in the summer. Grab a bottle of water, put on some shorts, a tank or tshirt, a good pair of socks, a good pair of walking shoes, and grab your iPod/MP3 player and head out the door. Don't think about it, don't consider it, just go. Yes, that is just one of the reasons I love summer. I don't have to have fitness equipment during the summer, but it's great to have it during the winter. ;)

I plan on starting a walking regimen, most likely on Monday. It will be around the building at work Monday-Friday, and then around the neighborhood on Saturday and Sunday. I figure I'll start out by moving, then I will start working on cutting back on what I eat. My boss told me that I don't have to give up what I love eating, I just have to eat less of it. She was huge at one time, and said what she did was cut everything she ate in half and either threw away the other half or shared it with someone else and started walking. Let me tell you, we had a "walk Alorica" thing in March and my boss got 2nd place for most laps around the building. When it comes up next year, I want to participate, so I need to get training for it now.

I'll just bring my iPod to work with me, put my ear buds in and walk for 2-3 songs. I'll track how many laps I've made and see what it brings. Hopefully a thinner, healthier me.
