Lifting Weights

Today I added the weights to walking.  My arms are feeling it.  They are only 5 pound dumbbells, but swinging those babies for twenty minutes was good enough.  Holding them is so weird because when J was born he weighed ten pounds!  The dumbbells feel so much heavier.  I didn't just swing them either.  One of the songs I listened to was quite bouncy so I was lifting them over my head and out to the sides.

I did my Pilates and walking so I guess that's it for today.  It is getting easier to treadmill with no hands and I am glad for that.  I'm hoping that as I pick up the tempo and incline that I can continue not holding onto the handles.  I would really love to be able to do a whole half hour to an hour of running.  I think that along with weight loss that will be my other long term goal.  I can't wait to see in a year where I am.  I hope that it is still doing this blog and that I have reached or at the very least come close to my goals.  I think that I will have to think hard the next few days and see what some of my long term goals are.  You do the same, cause I wanna know what they are!
