My Day One

Thanks to Rachel and this competition, my "Day One" was yesterday. It worked out good, because it was National Walk to School Day. So, I put Dallin on the bus and THEN walked to his school. According to mapquest, it is only 2.89 miles away from my home. So, I loaded Sarah and Jarom up in the stroller and set off. I sure was feeling it by the time we got home. I haven't exercised in about 2 months and I could tell. I wanted to just lay on the couch the rest of the day, but my little munchkins wouldn't let me, thank heavens. I was also VERY hungry the rest of the day....had to fight off a lot of cravings. My body just isn't used to burning all those calories in one shot, I guess.

One more thing. Part of my walking trail goes through some bushy areas and I was thinking yesterday how many more calories I could burn if an alligator popped out of there and started chasing us! That would give me the extra motivation I needed to run instead of walk!
