My plan includes 30-40 minutes a day, five days a week. I go to the fitness club I belong to and I either do the treadmill, recumbent cross-trainer, or my own version of water aerobics.
When I was weighed and measured Wednesday, my COD counselor was shocked to see that I had lost 2 inches in my waist in the last 4 weeks, for a total of 7 inches in my waist since I started on 12/27/06. Total 19 ½ inches, 34 pounds. Yeah!
This week I have added a 20 to 30 minute walk after dinner. For my entire life, I thought I hated exercise and I avoided it as much as possible. This is an awakening for me. I look forward to exercise and I know it has made a big difference in helping me to reduce stress and to lose weight.
Since there is a renewed dedication for my of us on the Board with several challenges going on, let’s share our ideas about exercise plans so we can inspire others in their journeys.
