It’s the last Monday of the month sexy people. Time for a fitness review! 🙂
This month I decided to start each weekday with a power walk – how did I do on this?
Before I share my performance report, here are a few of what I have come to appreciate about this challenge:
⭐ It gives me something to look forward to in the evenings. I prep my stuff the night before and I’ve gotten so efficient that I can now make it out of the house in much less time than I used to.
⭐ It gives me the satisfaction of having done something for myself first thing in the day.
⭐ It’s my “me & nature” time, time to just let my thoughts run free without interruption, or to just feast my senses on the beauty of nature.
⭐ It’s kicked my morning cuppa caffeine, since it makes me crave only cold water.
⭐ It’s steered me away from white bread to sturdier fare to better satisfy my appetite. (Making healthier breakfast choices was also a challenge for June).
⭐ I’ve lost some weight. Which is a relief as I discovered mid-June that I was starting to wear my homesickness around my waist & hips.
All the above have helped me immensely in overcoming my homesickness, which I’ll talk more about in a next post.
Meanwhile, I also said that I wanted to level up by trying running. Well I did give running a try, for 2 weeks to be exact, but it kinda took the fun out of it. So I scaled back and just focused on brisk walking as it’s enough to get my heart rate up, gives me a good sweat and makes a tall glass of cold water taste like heaven! 💪
I am pleased to report that – save for one morning – I have been on target. 🎆 🎆 🎆
And the best part is that it’s worked out so well, I intend to keep this up for as long as I can. It’s no longer just a 30-day challenge for June. It has incorporated into my daily routine almost effortlessly that I feel it would be nothing short of a waste to stop 🙂
So how about you? What did you bring into your life in June, and how did it turn out?
