Day 4

Total - 3 days
Continuous - 2 days

Happy to report that have done today's major walking first thing in the morning. The sports shoe wasn't helping today. My toes were getting cramped and hurting a bit. Will tie the laces loose tomorrow. I could successfully body's messages of pain and tiredness. Was actually not that tired even after almost 90 min of nonstop walking. I varied the speed a bit to rest feet a little. Really enjoyed the walk. The music helped. Have found good playlists in wynk as well.

Hope to keep my focus on. Feeling very grateful.

Day 3

Missed morning walk as again woke up too early. Need to sort out the curtains to block out the morning light. Else always waking up too early snd then falling asleep again to wake up late.

Had a good walk mixed with shopping this evening. Came very near to meeting my daily step goal. Legs are feeling a little sore. Not too bad. Happy that I made it today.

Dear God, thank you for helping me exercise today. Please give me strength to stay on plan. Please give me strength to fight distractions. Thank you so much for all the good and love in my life.

Day 2

Missed going for a walk. Stayed up late and then woke up too early to work out a work issue. This made me tired. Just couldn't go walking in the morning. Planned to go in the afternoon which also just didn't happen. I wanted to go visit a bookstore but reconsidered due to traffic situation in the city. From there it went to no walking at all. Was in an odd restless mood. Most likely due to not going for the walk. Had chinese food at night which wasn't a great choice either. Anyway there's tomorrow to get back on track.

Day 1

Happy to report that I went for a morning walk today. So far step count is around 4800. Went to Upvan lake. While it was nice, felt that it wasnt quite worth the while. But good that I did it against the chatter in my head. I want to continue doing things I am scared of.

The walk itself was nice. Just when I thought I was halfway around the lake, I found I was nearly done. So walked on the road a bit more afterwards. There were a few ups. But wasnt tired too much. Saw quite a few folks running/walking around. Good feeling that was. Somehow I didn't look much at the lake when near the lake. I suppose I was too worried about not losing my footing on the wet pavement.

All in all, good feeling about being done. Best of luck to me for tomorrow.

Physically active

I want to become physically active. I was reading Anu Vaidyanathan's anywhere but home. It makes me want to push myself physically. I used to love working out in Bangalore with S. While that magic never quite reappeared, I enjoyed walking hugely for a few months after buying the fitbit. Now I want to start again.

I know this much that I will start with walking. I don't know how much outdoors and if any indoors. The competitions helped me last time. Can I dare to run? Maybe a c25k? We will see. I hated myself for not trying Zumba. How can I ensure that I give myself a chance? Only I can do it. I will give it my best.

I will go for a walk tomorrow and I will check in here. Best of luck me!
