Beautiful weekend

On Saturday a couple from church introduced me to a new hobby called Geocaching. I had heard them talk about it a couple of times but really did not have my interest peaked until I spoke to them again on Saturday morning when I was showing my friend some pointers on her new Blackberry Pearl.

One thing led to another and I told them that I needed to get out and walk and was going to try and get my wife to join me which caused my wife to roll her eyes and sigh. LOL... My friends said that I could get plenty of exercise by joining them on their geocaching expedition. Not onlly did I get some exercise but I also became very interested in a new hobby. I was out in nature enjoying a beautiful day and killing two birds with one stone.

Saturday was a good day as far as calories and exercise is concerned. Sunday I worked 11.5 hours trapped in my office doing server maintenance however around 4 pm while I was waiting on some processes to finish I escaped the five story building I was trapped in and walked down to the Aquarium and back. I remember how when I did this the last time I was worn out when I got to the water front and had to ride the bus back to the college. This time I had plenty of energy when I got there and was able to walk back without any problems. I was tired of course but not so physically tired that I did not think I could do it.

Slowly but surely I am making better decisions about what I eat and drink and I am trying to find better ways to get exercise plus have fun doing it. I think I will stick with that much longer than trying to force myself to go to the gym day in and day out. This week I want to lose one more pound. That means I will need to make sure and climb stairs here at work, get exercise on my non bowling days and eat the right things. I can do it!!
