The stats...

So last class we talked about our goals and what we can do to re-motivate ourselves. Ana suggested that Joan and I work out...yeah not so much, Joan and I have a more of a let's eat together relationship (and I like it that way). So then Rachel suggested that I post a picture on here of me in a swimsuit and I'm sorry that I just don't have the guts to do, nor do I know how to because I've tried to post things on here before (apparently blogger.com and I don't see eye to eye on that kind of thing). So I'm still not that far on my goal but I did walk around campus a lot today so I feel good about that. And over the Easter weekend I took my boyfriend on a walk to Starbucks, which in the end was probably counterproductive after we got our flavored lattes and a little breakfast sandwich. But I am counting these two instances toward my goal and it's the closest I've come thus far to my goal. So go me!

Here are some statistic I looked up about walking for your health courtesy of the Mayo Clinic:
1) Lower bad cholesterol (LDLs)
2) Higher good cholesterol (HDLs)
3) Lower blood pressure
4) Reduces your risk of Diabetes Type 2

All things I already knew and I'm sure most people know (or could guess), but it still makes your think.

  1. Maybe you need to find a more motivating goal for your personally? Something more short term? Congrats on the progress though!
