Walk It Off

So a week at the beach and some absolutely wonderful weather got me a jump-start on the resumption of my walking regimen. Walked every day. At least 20 minutes each day and on several of the days, I managed an hour or better. The condo had a gorgeous balcony overlooking the sea and I could easily have spent most of the week just sitting there. I contemplated sleeping out there on the lounge, but opted for the bedroom and the TV when it was time for nigh-night. The walks along the sea wall were scenic and the destination of the Hereford Lighthouse was the goal. Did that walk three times during the week. Then there was the boardwalk. Did that one twice. So all that walking made me determined to continue now that I'm home. Fingers crossed that I don't get the strangling cough that I had for six weeks that required medical attention. I've been looking after the little girls every morning for an hour or so and that means getting up and getting out early. Having started the day, it's not hard to get in 20 minutes of walking when I get home. But I have to concentrate on the food aspect as well and that's a bit harder. My own Personal Trainer is going to work up a fitness program for me. I just hope he realizes that I'm not going to be up for P90-X. Yet.
