Every couple of months, I get on a health kick and eat really healthy for a month or so. Then, there's a sale on potato chips... and all my resolve goes out in the trash with the empty bags. I'm pretty good at cooking the majority of my meals at home, rarely going out, only eating fast food about once every 2 months or so, and the things I do cook at home are healthy and from fresh produce.
Back in my last town, I had a friend who used to be in sports, as I was in my younger years (yes, I know, I'm so old). We ran together about 5 times and I impressed myself with how far I could actually run, but then I moved. I tried running on my own in my new city I think about 3 times, and every time I felt like dying. I got advice from someone who trained for a run, to start with a minute of running alternating with 3 minutes of speed walking. Then when you can do that for a significant duration of time, up the running by a minute or 30 seconds, and down the walking time by that much. Keep doing this till you can run (or what I'm going to do, jog :P) however far you want!
So this is my goal: to start running every day, and start stretching and doing pushups and situps every day, maybe every other day while I get my abs in shape...
With this healthful turn, I shall be blogging daily, as a work out journal and so readers, if I ever get any, will scold me in to good habits :)
