179! Not too bad after vacay and just 1 day post period. I'm pretty happy with that, folks. I haven't done measurements yet, but I've been talking to the hubby about the next steps and where I want to go. I KNOW I need to get in that formal exercise. I know it. But what kind? How often? How much? You know, those things. What I was doing before I got burned out was working, so I really should get back to that and just keep going. But once in a while, you really want to try something new... and that is where I'm at. What do I want? I kinda want to join some kind of gym with a pool so I can swim! I LOVE riding my recumbent bike, I love walking and hiking... but I also love swimming. And I know I have a few options here so I think I am going to look into it. With the hubb's crazy schedule, I know it may be hard, but some of them have child programs that I think would be really fun for my kiddos. Prices seem to be pretty awesome and turns out, there is a YMCA literally behind my house! I knew they were building a new one, I just had no idea it was going to be THAT close -- think I should check that out and SOON! I don't know what else I would want to do there, but I could always just check it out and see what options there are. I really have nowhere else to swim here -- there's no community pool and we don't have a pool. Or I would just do that. Kinda wish we had one. *sigh*
Anyways, making progress, thinking and wondering. Hopefully I figure it out soon.
If you haven't exercised in a while, I would definitely consider taking it easy and easing into it. My boyfriend is doing 20 min a day elliptical followed by stretching and some weights. He's going to build from there. I think they important thing is consistency. He's hoping to make it a habit.
