I began exercising/walking yesterday!
I have been totally unmotivated for a l-o-n-g time, but the other day a GF approached me about meeting her to walk several times a week. She has found a beautiful park for us to walk in - I didn't even know it existed.
It's within a mile from my house, but tucked back where I would have never found it. It's a big park with a playground for children and two walking paths. Yesterday was our first day. There were middle aged men jogging and lots of Mom's with baby strollers walking, as well as other two-somes
like me and my friend. Today it is 75 and sunny. Yea! Perhaps having a walking buddy will keep me motivated. We'll see.
Gotta get busy and get some things accomplished today.
Later, All.

Deb sounds like a great plan. The buddy system goes a long way in keeping us motivated. I think if I could find the time to work out, without it being so late, I would be more motivated and if I had a buddy too.
Enjoy and I hope it works out great.

Lucky you finding a buddy. When I retired, I figured I'd meet new retired folks and find an exercise buddy. Nope - they seem to be on different schedules than me (like staying up all night & sleeping all day), or are super busy with volunteer activities. We do have a lovely park with paved walking/biking/skating paths, and I frequent it when the weather is nice. Maybe if I went regularly, I'd find a buddy. Now that my sinus infection is improving, I'll soon have no more excuses - LOL.

Waaaaaaa....I want to come down there and walk with youuuuuu....
Sounds great!!!!
That's great that you and your girlfriend took a nice walk in the park. I take walks every day at lunch, unless it is a yucky day! lol I also take walks with my hubby and little girls on the weekend. Sometimes my girlfriend joins us with her little one.
Walking is good excercise and clears the mind!
