My first 'real' NSV!

I started walking about 2 weeks ago. I told myself I'd do 30 min 3x a week as a minimum, anything over was bonus. I started getting up at 5.15 AM MWF. Last week I pushed through. Saturday morning came, and I was up anyway and thought 'what the heck'...so went out. Sunday morning..same thing. I slowly realized I was actually starting to really enjoy my early morning walks, even though they've been challenging, some days I was already aching 10 minutes in but just pushed through. Most days I'm still wiping sleep from my eyes during the first five minutes. The only thing I actually 'enjoyed' was the morning wildlife I'd see--deer, raccoons, fox, rabbits, birds etc...(I'm fortunate enough to live in a country setting). It was the only thing that made me force myself through the breathlessness, aches, exhaustion and protests of my body over the last 2 weeks.

This morning I went for my what is becoming a daily routine walk...I got back to the end of my driveway and realized I didn't have to drag myself up my front stairs to the door in exhaustion. I actually felt motivated and good...my endurance has improved that quickly! So now tomorrow morning is going to be new challenge--40 minutes! I also bought a Fitbit One on Saturday and am SOOO addicted to it already!! Can't believe I'd EVER enjoy physical activity!
