Feeling good

If you're like me, you may not realize that you aren't feeling as good as you could because you have gotten used to living life with less exercise and that feels normal. I am feeling better than I've felt in a while and I didn't feel bad before. I think I can actually feel circulation improving. I expect I'll sleep better, too. Today is my biggest day of the 2008 and I'm pushing 5 miles.

Some of you may be thinking that 5 miles is a lot, but if you are wearing a pedometer you will probably walk somewhere between one and a half and three miles simply as you move through your day WITHOUT any special time dedicated solely to walking. By the way, if you are walking less than three quarters of a mile a day, you REALLY need to get more exercise.

Now I don't feel bad for sitting through the Charger playoff game in the recliner. I did walk during halftime. Thank you, Tivo, and similar devices! Again, you can click on the title of this post and visit my Lime.com walking update page.

I can walk & You can walk

I feel better already. I decided to get moving in 2008 and from January 1-5 I've done over 12 miles total. I've been wearing a pedometer since last summer. If you've never worn a pedometer, you can get used to it. It's second nature to me now. I remember to put it on my belt 90% of the time or more.

I'm using Lime.com to record my progress on my Lime profile. I recommend recording your progress every day, which I started doing in 2008. If you look at previous entries, you'll see that I devolved into recording my progress for several days at a time. I find daily records help inspire me. You can click on the title of today's post to see my progress. Incidentally, Lime is adding all our miles together to show how much we can accomplish by pooling our efforts. I hope you'll join us today.
