So about 3 weeks ago, I started walking on the treadmill, it was brutal to do 15 minutes and a slow speed.  I was intensifying it recently and walking more quickly.  Since we decided to take this trip, we knew if we were going to do all we wanted to do, we had to get stronger physically.  So yesterday we started doing my old faithful tape, Richard Simions Sweatin' to the Oldies.  i had this tape then the kids were little so they love it too, & remember it.  Today ... Day 2 and holy cow, it was hard.  Yesterday was tough but I soldiered through it.  Today.... :'(  so hard.

Steph says we are going to work out all 121 days until we leave. I said, well not the day we leave and we all agreed, we wouldn't the day we leave.

We even got Lauren to join in.  She hasn't done the whole tape, but some both days.  We need to get her stronger too.  So far, we are having fun, but Steph just bounces around... and I just look at her, like I wish I could have some of her energy.  My hope is this is going to help my strength, energy and weight.

Steph & I are also going to stay away from sweets, not counting a cup of tea I like to have.  Oh, and my Schwan pops, as they are low cal anyways.   Just not splurge so much.  Mom says she will avoid making goodies, unless we are feeding the speaker or something.

Hope it works and we can stick to it.
