On My Road to Fitness (Hopefully)

Nah! It's too early to tell.

It's just been my first day. Let's just say that I am trying to motivate myself to do this daily. Yay!

Would you believe? I was able to drag my lazy self up and go for a brisk walk today?

Brisk walk. Lame, you'd say.

But you see, for a lazy bum like me, that's a big feat already we need to celebrate!

My Motivation

For one, I almost don't fit on my clothes anymore. They used to be a size bigger to me. Pathetic, eh?!

Physically, I feel weak also. Considering I have to keep up with 3 overly active kiddos, so that ain't good news. See, I can't even bend down for long to tie their shoelaces! Pfft!

So if one does not feel good about his/her whole being, then he/she needs to do something about it.

I started watching what I eat. I also try to sweat a little after work by dancing with the kids for a few minutes. But I see very little improvement.

@virgo27 also motivated me a lot-- he has done a month straight of running daily already. I told him I want to join him on his runs since he most of the time goes to the park nearby my place.

I don't think I will be able to keep up with his stamina. I am really not the athletic type. But who knows?

Before that though, I need to warm up a little first.

Early Evening Walk

It actually started around 5pm when I went out with Kuya of the @divinekids do practice some basketball dribbling skills in front of our villa. The air was dry and warm but there was a slight breeze of wind which made it a little more pleasant.

After some time, I thought that I would take it to full throttle and go to our community playground and jog there.

Yes, yes! I took pictures!😂

Sorry, I could not help it. Haha. But believe me, I tried to concentrate on my task.

I ran, jogged, brisk walked, cat walked, strolled... rolled... 😅

Whatever! lol

I actually wanted to keep track of how many rounds I made but I lost count as my thoughts wandered to different things...

I loved the feeling of the warm wind on my face. For a moment I felt the serenity of being alone. Whoah! No screaming kids!

I left the kids at home with hubby @kennyroy while they enjoyed their baths.

Finally, my face was burning already and the water I brought got warm due to the hot weather. I was able to cover 4.8km already and thought it was time to head back home.

Hmmm, maybe I can try running with @virgo27 in the coming days already!

Glad I was able to monitor my progress with both the Samsung Health and Actifit apps on my phone, I was able to share my "progress". 😅

Actifit

Have you heard about it?

It is an app on the Steem Blockchain that rewards you for getting yourself off your couch and actually be active.

Check out their updates - @actifit and find out more. The App is available for download for Android devices from google play.

From what I understand, you will also earn #actifit tokens when you get up to 10,000steps, upvote or resteem and delegate to the @actifit account. Whew! So why not? Right? actifit tokens are #smt's that will be valued as per steem. Cool eh?!

I have already shared a couple of posts, not really big, hardcore activities but i am still happy about it.

So is this the beginning of my road to fitness?!

Oh, I sure hope it is!

I do not plan on changing my wardrobe anytime soon and if ever I will, I hope they'd be a few sizes smaller already.

How about you?

What's your #roadtofitness like?
