Weightloss Journey - DAY 1

So today Friday 3rd August 2012,  I decided to begin my weight loss journey for 2012, my prayer is that I can keep it up as I like the feeling when I am fit and feeling healthy.

Sports Attire

So the right attire is important when exercising so I purchased a pair of Nike trainers which are good for comfort and support as my feet are extremely tender. I can wear any shoes and at some point my feet hurt. One thing I noticed about my feet although it is summer and it is hot my feet do not go well with sandals. Sandals (many) are flat and when walking it is like wanking on the ground leaving my feet aching and in am lot of pain there after. These trainers have a lot of cushion so are like heaven when walking and are very comfortable. Comfort is key when exercising as it makes it easier and better for your body. I was wearing leggings (black),  a black vest top and a cardigan. The leggings I found were extremely comfortable when moving around so I will likely wear them again when exercising. Only downside i find is my breast constrict me in movement, for example I want to run/jog sometimes but my breast are very large and heavy, which makes it hard sometimes. Maybe if I invest in a sports bra it make be a little better???

 DAY 1

Today I had an appointment on my local high street which is 20/30 minutes from my house so I power walked down there and ran up the the stairs to the third floor (I admit I am un-fit so I was slightly out of breath when I reached up there). I sat in my appointment for 20minutes then headed back home which took me 30mins as I stopped on the high street to get two bunches of bananas and a carton of juice. With my added load I headed home and power walked up the hill, reach home sweat dripping down my face. Well they say if your sweating and in slight pain then it's working, so it was working loads today. After resting when I got home I did some light housework and that was the end of day one.  Tomorrow is likely to be a little walking as it is Saturday and I do not exercise so hopefully pick it up again on Sunday. By writing all this down it may give me some motivation to do this and keep doing it as it is a lifestyle change.
