winds are up to 70 km/hour. I wonder how high the winds need to be to actually blow someone over...just a random thought. I was proud of myself for going out and getting it done. Tonight I am going to go for an upper body weight training session. I haven't been doing much cardio indoors lately but I figure walking everyday for 30-40 mins counts as some cardio right?? I am planning on doing a cardio session tomorrow night (last chance workout before my WI on Friday) Speaking of last chance workout....does anyone know when Biggest Loser is starting again? That show is SOO motivating!!Last night and today I feel TOTALLY back on the wagon. Not that I went out of my points at the beginning of the week but I just felt draggy and unmotivated. I'm hoping to see a loss this week but I don't FEEL like I have lost. Who knows though...the scale is a weird and mysterious thing.
This month in Good Housekeeping, there is apparently a great article about walking off the weight. There are quite a few articles about the benefits of walking and I honestly think that my lunchtime walks are the reason I have been seeing a loss on the scale. I am going to try to get at least 4 walks in at lunch time every week for the whole summer.....I have no excuses not to! Sarah just dropped off the magazine to me so I'll be checking it out tonight. Just thought I would let y'all know! :)

ReplyDeleteIt's been windy here too today. I have the worse sinus headache from it. Good job on going out for your walk, and yes your walking is cardio! Walking definitely makes a difference! :)
ReplyDeletecardio is for sure walking 30-40 mins babes, you are working it! If you love walking check out the weight watcher magazine as well for a huge article on walking. Glad to see you are more motivated and enjoy those quesadillas, we'll discuss Grey's tomorrow :)
