Over this past weekend my husband and I left town to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. We stayed in Downtown Denver, right by the 16th Street Mall. We were just enjoying our time and before we knew it my phone was going off that I met my goal (I didn't know I had a goal at this time) I opened the Fit app and we had walked for over 4 hours! By the end of the night we had walked for 5 1/2 hours and covered 7 1/2 miles! It felt good and it was fun.
This was my motivation for setting an activity goal for myself. 4 hours a day seemed to be a little much, and going thru my history on the app I was only active about an hour a day. When I downloaded this app it was to use it as a step counter, I was so excited when I learned it is so much more than that! I have been so determined to meet my 2 hour goal that I have been walking in place while making sandwiches and running relay races with the kids around the solar system (see pictures below)
This journey isn't easy and it isn't always fun. As you know, my home is my gym, I don't have fancy stair steppers and treadmills at my disposal. So I have to find creative ways to get my cardio in. I mentioned earlier that I started jumping rope... I HATE EVERY SECOND OF IT! I am working myself up to jumping 10 minutes a day... but after getting some advice from an Olympic Boxer and ignoring the advice of my boxing coach husband, I am changing that goal... My goal by the end of the month is actually 12 minutes. I will break it down into 4 3-minute rounds with a 1 minute break in between rounds... Meeting this goal will take lots of prayer and lots of faith on my part. I will not let this little string get the best of me... I will conquer this goal in Jesus Name!
Keep an eye out for my next post... I am going to share my fitness routine with you!
