Today I walked Gurdie for 20 minutes. It was a slow 20 minutes. I think she got tired. Then I walked Bear and Buster at the same time for a slightly faster 30 minutes.
Arms-
with 2 lb weights
2 reps of 20 bicep curls
2 reps of 20 over the head thingies
Legs/butt/thighs-
with 2 lb weights
20 lunges forward
20 lunges backward
20 squats
I'm slightly sore from yesterday but nothing too bad. Tomorrow I'm gunna hurt... lunges don't like me. Also it's that time of month and my cramps weren't too bad this time. Maybe there is something to this whole exercising thing.
I also think I totally canceled out the exercising by eating two supersized s'mores, but whatever, they were GOOD.
Tomorrow I think I'll find a park and walk all three dogs at the same time because the neighborhood is getting a little old. I should drive my walking route and figure out how far I'm going. I think tomorrow I'll also hop onto the elliptical and actually get my heart rate up.

Day 1, The Begining
In case anyone does read this-
After watching Julie and Julia I wanted to jump on the 'do something everyday for a year' bandwagon. The cooking thing has already been done in multiple forms. I want to be healthier, tone, and maybe lose a few pounds. I'm not fat, but I'm REALLY out of shape. I hate exercising. I curse the entire time I'm on the elliptical and I don't like weather or being outside. I eat pretty healthy on the condition that it taste good.
This led me to the conclusion that I should exercise every day for at least ten minutes, for the whole year. I decided to blog about it because that's what all the cool kids are doing and blogging will help me keep track.
For the purposes of this exercise, pun indended, I am going to consider exercise to mean doing something that isn't sitting. This can be-
-walking the dogs, which really I should be doing every day, but it's freakin cold outside
-yoga
-doing something with a set of free weights
-elliptical
-wii fit
-fitness DVD
-sit ups, push ups
-etc
Today
20 minute walk with Buster, ran a couple times for a few minutes, saw and smelled horses
20 minute slow walk with Ken and Bear, didn't run much, saw and smelled the same horses
weights:
2 lb
bicep curls: 2 sets of 20
over the head thingies: 2 sets of 20
