Moderately coerced exercise
Jan. 5th, 2006 09:53 pmToday I walked a mile and a quarter to get a simple plain hot dog and diet Dr. Pepper for lunch. Well, okay, and one single serving bag of chex mix. They recently put in a walking track that circles around the building, with each complete circuit being a quarter mile.
Four and a half loops, plus the walk next door and back. I figured I ought to do this before it started getting so hot that simply walking next door makes you lose a pound just from the sweating.
Maybe I'll actually meet my fitness goal this year (end the year under 200 pounds).
And why did I walk for lunch rather than drive somewhere (which really I only do maybe once or twice every other week)?
My car decided to give me a scare with the check engine light. Normally when that comes on it isn't anything serious and a restart or two will clear the light. Not this time. Fortunately my regular shop was nearby so I pulled in and left it there to find out what it was and get an oil change (way, way past due). Appears it was nothing but a loose wire connection. They only charged for the oil change. (Have I ever mentioned I don't bother with the dealership service center now that the service plan has expired? Can't imaging why not.)
