I was riding home from work and feeling pretty happy that the day was over. The weather was overcast and the temperature just right for keeping on riding. I would have loved it if my house was an hour away from work and not just 20 minutes. On the way I was debating whether or not I should go for a walk when I got home, I didn't really feel like going for a walk but I forced myself to head out. My son was at a friends and my daughter didn't want to come with me so I decided to push myself a little and OMG I'm glad I did.
I started walking fairly fast and made good time to my usual turn around spot. A few times I felt like breaking into a jog but I just kept walking. On the way back I was really enjoying myself, I was still walking fast and felt like I had heaps more energy so I actually started jogging. It didn't last long as I got puffed really quickly but I jogged for a couple of minutes and then just kept on walking fast. Even as a kid I could never run or job, I'd end up getting too puffed out or I'd get a stitch and have to stop. I think that if I keep on walking I'm going to try jogging for a little longer each time if I can. I'll do it on the way back and on flat ground to start with but who knows, maybe I'll like it and start doing more of it.
I'm still a little bummed that I didn't lose any weight last week but I'm genuinely thrilled that I'm enjoying exercising and that my fitness is improving. I even considered doing some extra pushups on one of the benches that are along the path that I usually walk on. I never thought that I'd be one of those people and it's not like that's the person I'm aspiring to be, I just want to lose weight.
