The doctor wants me to start a more "regimented" walking program, so I now have a treadmill that I am supposed to walk on. I must confess, walking on a treadmill is, at best, boring for me. But I am trying very hard to comply with doctor's orders. I am hoping that forcing myself to do this everyday will eventually make this a habit, and then I won't have to push myself so hard to do it.
I know that exercise should be a part of a healthy lifestyle, and I'm determined to make the changes necessary to bring that about. Right now, I can only do about 12 minutes on the treadmill. As my endurance grows, I expect that number to increase, as well as the speed at which I walk. Like so many things in my life - I'm not where I want to be, and I'm not where I'm GOING to be - but PRAISE GOD! - I'm not where I used to be!
I'm looking at this as the next phase in my weight loss journey. It may not be the most fun, but it will certainly be part of the journey, and ultimately, when I reach my destination - I will look back and be glad that I made this choice. And did you catch that - I said, "when," not "if."
