Goal: Exercise Every Day – Day 5

My goal this week was to exercise every day or at least 5 of the 7 days between my Tuesday Weekly Updates, and today was Day 5 (Sunday). And already I see I’m going to have to work on making exercise a habit some more. It’s been really easy to let the execise slide. But I did get some in:

In the morning I did about  about 2 minutes of knee lifts, side steps, marching in place while my 5 yo daughter watched some show on Smile of a Child. The music was kind of catchy and it made it easier to do. After that I did my morning stretches and core exercises.

Later while I was brushing my teeth I did some toe taps on the step down to our bathroom, and oddly enough it actually made me brush a little longer, and helped motivate me to get going on to the next thing I had to do (but didn’t want to).

The rest of the day was pretty slow, sitting in a chair working on finances (not my favorite activity). The only other thing I got worked in was about 10 minutes of “at home walking”, again while my daughters were watching something on Smile of a Child.

And I finished the day with only 2 or 3 of my normal evening stretches.

I’m a little disappointed I couldn’t get going more, but am glad I got something in.
