On a New Track Week 2

Ok, so it has been another week and well, not to successful. I think I picked the worst time to get this whole new track thing started. For starters, it was Halloween this week so who has the time to run that day??? For some credit I will say that I walked the streets of Waikiki for a couple of hours if that means anything :) Next, we hit the rainy season here in Hawaii. The result, rain non-stop since Saturday. My lanai has flooded and almost creeped into the apartment. To make things worse, we had thunderstorms. Yes, Thunderstorms! It never storms in the islands unless the conditions are, shall we say, PERFECT FOR STORMS. This time, two systems merged directly on top of the islands and has just sat there. Needless to say...I AM SICK OF THE RAIN AND THE RAINY SEASON HAS JUST BEGUN!

At any rate, I can say that I kept my goal...only stairs. I am proud of that one and will keep it up for sure.

My goal for next week, riding my bike or walking to complete errands. This should be a fun one! I really enjoying riding during the day, especially now that we are in 'fall'.

So, what did I do exactly you ask?

Mon- 2 miles walk
Tues-1 mile run
Wed-Halloween!
Thurs-2 mile walk
Fri-lazy
Sat- raining
Sun- raining

I guess that is not so bad ;) Ok, I could have done better. As I sit here typing this, it is once again falling a flood outside. So, not sure about running today...

On a New Track

Yes, that is correct. I am on a new track as of last week. So, I am now officially on a health kick. I realize that I have a very healthy appetite, especially when it comes to chocolate. However, I have to take this change in small steps. In the words of Brian, I have to ween myself. Not that I need to lose weight. I just need to be healthier like I used to be. So, every Sunday there will be a diary update on my new health track. As of last Wednesday:

Walked: Wed-2 miles
Thurs-2 miles
Fri- 1.5 miles
Sat- 2 miles
Sun- Lazy

Total= 7.5 miles.

I have not gathered the courage to actually buy a scale or anything. Hopefully one day I will muster that courage and be able to report actual numbers and progress!

But for now, each week I am going to set a new goal. Not a miles walked goal; that is a given each week. Instead a 'fitness' goal of some sort.

The new fitness goal for this week: NO ELEVATORS OR ESCALATORS---ONLY STAIRS.
