So I was going to drag my old exercise journal out of the archives but thought a new journal might be better. I am going to continue with the weekly goals and slowly increase my exercise back to what I was doing before. I am still going to continue with keeping track of kilometres instead of time and keep track on the map. My first goal is still to make it to Thunder Bay, even though I have been stalled out for a while. My first week's goals starting on Monday Jan 7 are Walk minimum of 15 kms. |

Today I finally got back on the treadmill. I walked 3 kms and I will not lie it sucked! The first 20 mins felt like I was just coming out of hibernation (which, I suppose I am) and the second felt a little better but I wanted to stop many times. I didn't though. The only thing that kept me going was my ipod and I was really enjoying what I was listening to and did not want to turn it off. I'm not going to set any specific goals this week other than to get back on the treadmill again. Total kms this week - 3 |

Today I walked 3 kms on the mill. It sucked a bit less than last time but it was still hard. I have been contemplating some goals. Here are my rough thoughts. 1. Walk to my first distance goal of Thunder Bay by my Birthday (July) 2. Have the guts to dig my bike out of the garage in the spring and start riding it again. Maybe even to and from work by the summer. 3. start setting weekly goals slowly again. |

Sounds like a fantastic plan Cherri! Good news is cycling burns more calories. |

Ooooh how I wished I lived in town (I'm a country gal, dirt roads and all) I would *love* to be able to ride a bike daily!! Your goals sound super!

Thanks Nic and Teach. It is a bit scary to ride my bike in the city though. I live fairly close to the centre of the city and there is tons of traffic. Since we have such long cold winters most drivers are not used to bike riders on the road and often to not watch for them. I have been driven off the road a few times. I am always glad for my helmet! |

Ok, I am going to try setting some weekly goals again and see how things go. I have an event to attend on April 12 so my new ammended distance goal is to walk to Thunder bay by then. That means 17kms a week which I think I a doable goal. So my official goal for the upcoming week is 17 kms. |
