in my effort to get toned up...
I have started to walk 2.5 to 4.5 miles a day when it's not too hot, raining, snow or ice on the roads. Today I thought with it starting to get so hot I will go for my walk earlier. Before 10 am. Wow it was still way hot outside.

Oh My Aching Bones--Weight Loss Ruminations
Exercise—BLECH! Not one of my favorite things—at least not until I've actually turned it into a daily habit. Once I've jumped that hurdle, I really enjoy exercise. It makes me feel good—both physically and mentally, and it tends to hoist my energy level to new heights. Still, I don't recommend
