Over the past few days I have been inputing my activities and other stuff on the ELCA Wellness website .
I liked the way this graph looked so I wanted to share it. It shows my weight from the beginning of the year last year when I did this same program to get monies to help with medical expenses. I am not pleased with that, but he good part of the picture is this years weight, which will hopefully keep going down… I started being active when my daily pill count got to the age of my oldest child (almost) and I needed to change something to live to see my children graduate high school…
This chart shows activity for the week. As you can see it starts with last year and my weekly activity level was not very much. This year I have kept up my walking. Starting at the end of July 2010 I started walking everyday for roughly an hour a day. I usually go to the YMCA and walk on a treadmill. I do walk outside if I do not have access to a treadmill. I started at around 2.5 miles in an hour and 5 minutes. 5 minutes for cool down on the treadmill… The past few weeks I have been going 4.82 miles in an hour and 5 minutes walking at a 4.5 mph pace. I also have been doing Aqua Zumba about 3 days a week for an hour along with walking everyday. So I should get in around 10 hours and 35 minutes of activity each week.
I say all of this not to say look at me! (ok maybe a little because I am happy and feel much better now than I did!) More I say it to say if I can do this you can too! I never was one for activity when it could be avoided. But I Like my early morning walks, and it is a great way to start the day. I know when I do not walk because the day is just not as good…
Have a great year and do something to stay around longer…
