Exercise (ugh)

Tomorrow I start - so the last part of the plan has to do with exercise. I mean, I love a good walk or a lovely, long hike. But getting the old heart going is another thing. So, from my reading, I have discovered that it's a good idea to do exercise that one is likely to do more than once. I bought a DVD called 'Yoga and Pilates for Dummies' ages ago and I have yet to open the wrapper. Tomorrow, I will break it open! :-) I have done pilates before and I thought it was pretty good. Yoga is something I have wanted to try for years, but haven't given it a shot as of yet. My long-range plan is to do pilates twice a week (Monday and Thursday), yoga twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) and to walk twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday). I know it's important to start off slow so that I don't overwhelm myself. Mike says he will do it along with me which will be great - it's much nicer to do it along with someone else. I keep telling Mike that if I had a dog, I would go for a long walk every night, but he says 'no way' since we travel so much. :-) So, there's the plan for becoming The New Me. Wish me luck!

  2. Ooh, just thought about all that dog doo I would have to pick up in the back yard - yuck :-) Maybe I should just find someone who has a dog who needs to be walked every night. :-)
