Exercise Habit, Day 5

I have to say, so far so good. I’ve gotten at least 15 minutes of exercise each day so far.

  • Oct 2, walking
  • Oct 3, walking
  • Oct 4, went to the apple butter festival, so that was LOTS of walking. It was also a corn dog… but that’s okay.
  • Oct 5, moving some things upstairs

I am very sore and achy today, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. My back is killing me, but I’ll do my 15 minutes tonight.

I’m not a big fan of exercise, but I realize that I need to do it to lose weight and generally improve my health. However, I do like the feeling of accomplishment I have when I do it regularly, not to mention the health benefits. I haven’t been doing it long enough to notice any changes yet (except maybe the soreness!), but I’m sure that will come along too.

As a little added bonus, I’m going to give myself permission to order a sweater’s worth of yarn at the end of my 30-days of exercise, if I’ve stuck it out until then. Yes, that means I can’t miss a single day of exercise, or no yarn. Ouch. I find that these types of rewards help keep me on track. After all, it’ll be a while before I start to see any benefits from the exercise itself, so it’s nice to have something to look forward to until that happens.
