New Exercise Routine

Well, it's almost the 25th which means the free Three month gym membership I won will soon expire. During the first month, I went regularly. In fact, I was so happy with the routine I'd established, that I had seriously considered continuing my membership when my trial was up. The next month, the holiday season, and some things going on in my family, made my visits more irratic. I was just beginning to reestablish my routine, when I got sick. I tried again when my health mended, only to be thwarted by the snow. I'm a very nervous driver in good conditions, so I don't even try when there is snow on the ground. However, I did realize I had to do some sort of exercise or I'd end up gaining all my weight back. Last week, I began walking the trail Dave and I mapped out for our afternoon walks. I have to walk it twice to equal what I'd been doing at the gym, but I don't mind. The only thing I missed was stopping by the Sonic on my way home for my Happy Hour diet coke. I remedied that today. Dave and I discovered that the light at 24th and Lamar has a crosswalk, and a button to push to change the light. I cross 24th on the last leg of my walk every day, so I took some money with me, and when I reached 24th street on my second lap, I made the jaunt down to Lamar, where I crossed the street, then walked the very short distance from there to the Sonic. It was so easy, that I think I've made the decision not to renew my gym membership, and let this be my new exercise routine. Maybe during the Summer, when the Texas heat is unbearable, I can renew, but for now, I like this new plan.
