It’s Turning Into A Wet Week January 6, 2006
Another rainy morning! That’s three walking sessions I’ve missed this week! I’m starting to get antsy to get back out again.
Does anyone have any suggestions for indoor exercises on rainy days? It needs to be something quiet, so I don’t wake the rest of the house up – so no stair-running or aerobics tapes!
It’s Raining Again… January 5, 2006
Raining again this morning.
Since I’m now used to getting up at 5:30am anyway, I decided to spend some time on the computer. It was nice being able to get some stuff done before the rest of the house woke up.
Rain January 2, 2006
I woke up at 5:30 this morning, only to discover it was raining. Damn.
I went back to bed, but sleeping in honestly didn’t feel as good as I thought it would. After two days off exercising, I actually miss it – that’s a first for me!
Happy New Year! January 1, 2006
I got to bed around 1am last night after seeing the new year in, so I didn’t get up at 5:30 this morning to go for a walk. I’m sure I can be excused for this one day, though! I did mow the lawn this morning, so I guess that counts for something.
Christmas Is No Excuse December 29, 2005
Our whole family visited my parents for 6 days over Christmas, yet I still didn’t miss a day of walking. I even went out on Christmas day, arriving back home with perfect timing to have a shower, get the girls up, and start the unwrapping of presents. The streets were absolutely deserted on Christmas morning, and not a single shop was open in the main street. It was eery.
I know that exercise is only one half of weight loss, and food intake is the other. I haven’t done anything about my diet yet, which actually isn’t too bad. We generally cook pretty healthy food, although admittedly my servings could probably be a bit smaller.
I figure that it’s easier to tackle one aspect of your lifestyle at a time, and once exercising becomes entrenched as a routine habit, I’ll start to work on the diet. Besides, it’s Christmas – who can resist all the delicious treats and left-overs on offer at this time of the year?!
No Exercise Today December 22, 2005
I didn’t make it out for a walk this morning (the girls were up and down all night, so we didn’t get much sleep), and wasn’t able to go at night because we had Christmas stuff to organise. This is the first day I’ve missed exercising since starting. I’m sure it’s good to have a day off every now and then, but I’m keen to get back out there again tomorrow morning!
Missed A Morning, Made It Up December 20, 2005
Today was the first morning walk that I missed. I slept through the alarm clock, and the girls didn’t wake up until nearly 6:30am, so all I could do was scramble out of bed, shower and get dressed, and head off to work at 7:00.
I actually missed going for the walk, and didn’t feel as alert at work today as I have been.
After we got the girls off to bed tonight (about 8:00pm), I decided to go out walking. My wife was doing some bookkeeping work anyway, so she didn’t miss me. I’m glad that I didn’t skip a day after all, and I slept well tonight after the exercise.
