(This is not weight-loss talk. If it were weight-loss talk, I'd put it behind a cut tag.)

I've decided that being a lump on the sofa is boring, so I've started walking in the evenings when I get home. I used to love the evening walks that I'd take with my mom and my siblings and our neighbors when I was a kid: a big group of us would do a couple of circuits around the subdivision after dinner during the summer. Not only was it a nice bit of exercise and socializing, it would often get my bedtime pushed back from 8:00 to sometime after it finally got dark. ;) Eventually I want to do the couch-to-5K program, but I'm not quite there yet; once I get my average speed up some more, then I'll think about adding in the running. Stats so far, courtesy My Tracks:

Y'know, I've decided I'm not going to put this stuff in a filter anymore, it's easier to not than to keep up with who does and doesn't want to read it. Plus, it's something that's important to me. I'll cut it though, which should make it easier to scroll past if you're not interested.

( first week back on Weight Watchers and working on getting back into the exercise habit )
