There is more than 1 way.
You may remember that in August when I added a new puppy to our family, my goal was to walk a mile day within a week. This turned out to be a big problem. My puppy Monk had a different agenda. We had to stop at every tree and bush. I was frustrated that my knees were hurting and about how much time it was taking. I had to find a different way.
Recognizing your success
This week I realized that I was walking at a mile every day. I was just doing it in 2 walks. One time a day we go for a longer walk of about 6 blocks and I keep making it longer. Then in the afternoon we go for 4 or more blocks but faster. Our walks may look strange to anyone that is watching. To add distance gradually and challenge myself, I sometimes zigzag through the neighborhood or back track to add an extra ½ block. I know if I keep doing this, I will be up to a mile in 1 walk soon.
There is more than 1 way to reach your goals. Try different approaches for faster success. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know?
