Friday Fitness Blogging


  • Weight = X-3
  • Change From Last Week = -1
  • Met Exercise Goal? Yes
    Goal was twenty minutes a day (walk/bike/swim) at least four days.
  • Current Exercise Goal = twenty minutes a day (walk/bike/swim) at least four days.
  • Kept food diary? No.

The training walks alone should keep me meeting my exercise goals without problems for the next few months. Today is crosstraining day, and I hope to get up on my exercise bike and watch another episode of Farscape here, soon. I need to remember to work on the food diary, as it's gone by the wayside. Still, a little exercise is a good thing, and I'm going to get more than a little over the next few months as I work toward my goals.

An update on the donation inspiration... Two fellow bloggers have given me enough fuel to get through the rest of the month. My thanks go out again to Elayne and Erin for their generousity and for helping me calm my nerves. They both go on my honor roll.

I also have the continuing pledge from my little sister Lisa, who pledged 3% of the sales from her Usborne Book Store to my walk. If you want a cool gift for a young reader, I HIGHLY recommend their encyclopedias, and the "Kid Kits" are very cool gifts too. With some gift-giving holidays coming up, go take a look. Look under categories "Kid Kits" and "Resource/Encyclopedias". Heck, I wouldn't mind getting the Encyclopedia of World History for myself.

Getting back on topic, in addition to donations, I gratefully accept comments of encouragement. Suggestions on how to avoid blisters are also welcome.

For the record, here are my Training Walk Reports from Gjoblaag (the boring blog). I'm trying to include a picture I take somewhere along my walk in each Training Walk Report. I also decided to list these "blog style", with the most recent first.

I'm currently on "pre-week 24" of the training schedule, not quite up to the three mile walks the schedule starts with. Tomorrow morning is my orientation meeting to learn more about The Walk. I'll be walking down to the meeting, as it's at the library which I've learned isn't a bad walk away at all. I hope to meet some other folks there who might want to walk with me a bit. For updates on what happens, check out Gjoblaag tomorrow afternoon.
