Day 23 (cardio)

Workout:
Walk (around the neighborhood) < 3 miles (I think)
60 min.
(calories burned, and HRs not calculated ... I didn't use my HR monitor on this brisk walk)

I bought my running shoes yesterday, so I'd have shoes to wear to the gym. And, then, I decided to go walking around my neighborhood, instead!! I've finished Dr. Oz's book "You On A Diet" and he suggests a 30 minute walk every day ... so, I headed out this morning, planning on 30 minutes. I wandered into another neighborhood, and got so busy listening to the music on my iPod & looking at the houses (and for sale signs) that I lost track of time, and suddenly, it was an hour later when I got home!!

After doing the Power90 & Power90 Extreme series, Dr. Oz's routines seem so easy!! But, I guess that's the point. Give the masses something that is do-able ... so they do it! How many work-outs did I miss in the programs, because I didn't have the time, or energy to do them?! Anyone can devote 30 minutes, 6 days a week to walking, with an additional 20 minutes 2 days a week to strength training/stretching.

It is tempting to try the routine in the "You-Diet" book. I'm trying to hone my eating habits more toward that way of eating. I'm in the process of cleaning out my cupboards. I'd like to give it a try ... get the chemicals & sugars & bad fats out of my system.

Goals:

1. Workout.
2. Drink 6 bottles of water.
3. Write down everything I eat.
4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
