Weekly reflections:

Apr.1 - I am always surprised how quickly the steps can add up. My shins were burning about 10 min into my walk but then they warmed up and got numb and felt better. Using my mp3 player helped make the 50 min. fly by. I can't wait till I can run again.

Apr.2 - I finally did it today. I woke up at 4:30am and did my morning walk. I am a morning person so once I'm out the door I'm good and I love my walk. I'm having major pain in my outer shins though and I wonder if it is shin splints. I might have to get my steps done on an eliptical for awhile.

Apr3 - I was physically very tired today. My legs are sore. Dan says I need to stretch more.

Apr4 - I forced myself to take a walk even though I didn't want to. I took Jersey and that helped a bit. I need to have Jersey's attitude about exercise. She always acts so liberated and exuberant when we take her for walks.

Apr 7 - Well, my first week is finished. I lost two pounds which is progress. I lost my pedometer today but Dan said he would buy me a new one tomorrow. Good thing they are only $5!
