Keep Walking

In the last few year I have really been working on keeping up my exercise routine. I can not say that I do that all the time.

Last year when I was depressed I hardly walked my dogs or went for a walk. It can be really hard to find the motivation. For myself, it is not to get huge. I am not the size I want to be, but I don't want to get any bigger.

As it is I have lost weight and will continue to do so, especially now that I have some clear goals. These are, to cut down on my carbs and I have stopped drinking soda all together. While doing my recycling earlier this week,I realized I had been drinking way too much soda and had tons of plastic bottles to get rid of.

The next came from my DR, who wants me to spend one hour walking every day rather than two hours every few days. My dogs have not been happy with the shorter walk time. They do know the hour we will walk and they line up at the back porch around 4pm waiting for me. I love it, their interest helps so much.

This week I was in Down Town LA and had a chance to walk around. I have not walked there in years. I hiked up to MOCA, up Grand Ave, not and easy task. Yes, I was sweaty by the time I reached the top but it was good for me. Later I swam in the pool all before diner. My reward, some cute things at the gift store. All of this reward, and I still need to keep walking.
