The Walking Man

I've been true to my word. The last two days I have done a half hour on the treadmill each day. Nothing outlandish, just good, basic movement. The meter on my treadmill says I burned about 300 calories each time. Nothing wrong with that.

Not only have I been on the treadmill, I've been doing what I like to call wall-ups. Kinda like a push-up, but instead of being on the floor, I'm leaning into a wall. Sounds silly, but I'm worried about my knees. I have very little upper body strength for my size, so putting all the stress on my knees to get to the floor to do two or three push-ups just isn't worth it! The wall-ups are doing their job, anyway! Yesterday I did three sets of 20/10/20 reps. I didn't wait long enough before my second set, my triceps just couldn't do it that fast. Today, I did the three sets of 20 reps and my triceps are telling me about it! I think I will need to do more reps before my biceps start feeling it. I have a little soreness there, but nothing like my triceps. If I can keep this up, I might eventually have something I've never had before: definition in my arms! That would be awesome!

I checked my sugga just to see. It was after Noon by this point and I hadn't eaten yet, so the 114 was a pleasant surprise. Control!

After the work out and a shower, I headed off to the grocery store. I was out of everything. (I'm still out of Splenda! D'oh!) What I ended up with there was another walk, this time for about an hour. My left in-step is yelling at me right now. It's a kinda good - kinda bad yelling. I'm still going to try to get on the treadmill tomorrow, but I'm sure the foot will not be happy about it.

The good news is that I achieved a full fridge and cupboards, all healthy food and under what I thought I would end up paying! (Got some good deals on meat!) You see, the strategy here is that if I've got a full fridge and plenty of grab and eat type foods, I won't be tempted to get in the car and go find fast food or other cheats. I am using my natural laziness as an advantage!

I'm on the wagon. What about the rest of you? Hmmmmm????? ;)
