...the tough get going! Lately, I've found myself slacking in the working out department, but I haven't changed my eating habits. In fact, I've incorporated more water and liquid-based fruits into my diet with a hope of taking in LESS calories than I usually do. This is all in hopes that a big pay-out of getting to my target weight loss by December will happen...
In looking at how I've slacked on my cardio, I've thought of other ways to get in exercise every now and then:
1) Parking further away from the entrance to the mall and other stores: Every little bit of walking helps, even the long walk to the store from the car :)
2) Taking the steps instead of the elevator: At one of my jobs, I enter on the second floor, but have to go down to the first floor. I take the stairs to and fro when I work there instead of waiting for the elevator for just one floor. I think this also helps not to aggravate the other people who work in that building and just watch me go inbetween one floor :)
3) Dancing: I love dancing and never feel like I'm working out when I bust a move. By dancing up a storm, I am getting my cardio in, enjoying myself and being sociable with those around me - three of my favorite things :)
What are some ways you still get your exercise in even when it's tough to fit it into your day, or you're tired?
Sometimes I walk to the Farmer's Market (about half a mile away) instead of driving to the store. Fresh local veggies and fruit + a mile of extra walking!
