Day 31



Well, I made it through the first month of my journey. Out of the entire 31 days, there was only one day that I took a step  backwards, which was on my wedding anniversary. After that night, I was determined to get right back on track the following morning. I haven't always been able to do that so it was a good feeling.

Once I got home from work today, the air conditioner was feeling really good and I really didn't want to go back out in the heat to walk to the gym. I could have easily drove there, but I had a better idea instead. I dug out a few of my old work out dvd's. I can't use most of them them because I live in an apartment. It wouldn't be a problem if I lived on the first floor, but I'm on the second floor and there's a family that lives below us. The last thing I want is to start jumping up and down on the floor over their heads and I don't think that management would appreciate the disturbance either. That's when I came across this.



I'd forgotten all about it, but it's a walking workout that doesn't involve jumping up and down. I did the 1 mile walk and I'd completely forgotten how much fun I used to have with this work out. I love it!

Notes: Today went well. This was my first time making brown rice. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but it tasted a lot like white rice, only healthier.

You are worth it.

  1. Congrats on your first month! I love rice, especially dirty rice and Spanish rice. Red beans and rice is pretty awesome too.

  4. Way to go on making it through month one! :) I'm sorry I posted a comment last night but had trouble with my computer and see it didn't get through. I think it is awesome about the walking away the pounds DVD. I will have to get an exercise DVD myself. I'm glad you liked the brown rice - I only just started on it too and really like it! You are doing great!! :)
