Holy cow ravioli. I was sore this morning. My feet, ankles, hips, legs, even my arms were a little sore from yesterdays walk.
Today I decided to take it easy. I walked a very slow mile (30 minutes) and did strength training. I did 3 sets of 15 overhead triceps extensions (5lb weights) and 3 sets of 15 Single Arm Front Raises with 5lb dumbbells too (it took about 10 minutes total).
One of the things I want to focus on next year is listening to my body more w/ strength training. I know that if I can do so many reps w/ a selected weight, and by the end of the set, I am not feeling a little tired or muscle fatigue, then I am not lifting enough weight. Today I did. It was only 5lbs, but I can feel my arms and chest muscles jiggling. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! (jiggling arms instead of a jiggling belly lol).
See you in the morning!
I can do this. I am a star.

Hey girl, I actually exercised today! Yeah I did!!! I haven't exercised in several weeks and it's time I got back into it.
I just did a somewhat slow comfortable walk. Enough to get my heart rate going but not enough to wind me. I figure I'll work up to stuff.
I need to work out with the weights too.
