Footin It :)

As Deri told you, we have been walking over the past couple of days. It feels really great to be active because before then, when we are around the house, my daily walk consists of mainly walking back and forth to the kitchen :)

Exercise is great for the body as well as the mind and I see the benefits already. I woke up very sore and that shows be that it really was a workout! Yeah, we had to walk to the store because of necessity, but it also started our new fitness regimen.

The funny thing is that a couple years ago, I was a fitness coach to about 14 clients during my last semester in grad school. What I learned from that experience is that I really don't have the patience to be in that profession (LOL) but most importantly how imperative it is to be dedicated to fitness.

I was able to establish some good relationships with some of my clients; They appreciated my listening skills and level of compassion. Don't get me wrong I was a compassionate coach, but I didn't play around either :)! I let them know what needed to be done and if they flaked on me, and didn't show up for an appointment, I gave them the business! Thinking about that experience reminds me that being dedicated to fitness as a family will strengthen our bodies, motivate us, and also lessen our stress levels.

After we get our car back I really hope we still are able to take walks together, even if its just around our community :)
