Exercising

I've been making an extra effort this week to get out and walk after work. I've been trying to get out for an hour if possible. I've also been making sure that I'm not spending too long at my desk whilst at work, it helps that I've been a little busier this week too. My lunches haven't really improved as you'll see on the weekend but I'm still feeling better and I'm not drinking as much coffee.
I'm hoping that I'm doing enough to lose 1kg this week as I don't really want to join a gym, but the more exercise I do the more I'm wanting to do. I took the wife and kids out with me for a walk and I ended up dawdling, I barely worked up a sweat. My wife on the other hand had worked up quite a sweat. It just goes to show how far I've actually come as it wouldn't have been that long ago that I would have been panting and sweating too even if I did dawdle.
One thing that I've started doing is taking my son with my for a walk along the river. He takes his bike and really enjoys the ride whilst I walk. It means that I can walk faster and I get to still spend time with him as I have to push the bike up some of the steep hills for him.
I want to get myself I new bike so I can ride with him. I used to love riding around the lake in Canberra and my son is looking forward to riding with me. My daughter should be able to get off her training wheels in the next few months so she'll be able to come along too. A few years ago I bought my wife a new bike as she really wanted to give riding a go, the biggest issue she had was she kept getting punctures. Everytime we went for a ride she'd puncture at least one of her tyres. Once I even had to leave her at her Dad's place and ride home to get the car as both her tyres had multiple holes in them.
