My cutback on golf has basically resulted in me getting no exercise at all and my weight has ballooned. Sitting at the ballpark yesterday afternoon, I decided that I’d start an exercise campaign beginning today. From now on, I’m going to walk to the ballgame (the ballpark is about 2.5 miles from home). After the game I’ll either walk home or, if I’m going out for the rest of the evening, I’ll walk downtown (about another 1.25 miles), then take a cab home at the end of the night (a four mile walk on dark roads at 2:00 am isn’t a very good idea).
When the team is away, I’ll use a nice little two mile or so loop that we have in the neighborhood. I started today with a short little 35 minute walk just as a test to make sure that nothing was going to fall apart right away. It felt good to work up a nice little sweat for the first time in a while.
I think I’ll try to figure out a way to put a nice little chart in the sidebar to track my weight loss. I know how everyone was so interested in my health woes, so I’ll try to provide some good news for a change. 🙂
BTW Ron – what ever happened with your weight loss effort? Eighteen months ago you said “I’ll update the blog on a weekly basis to let you know how it’s going.” We’re still waiting for the week two update. ❓ 😆
