Down Mulberry Lane

Monthly Measures: October 2008

This month, I was plenty busy.  Which was good.  I began briskly walking 2.5 miles in the middle of the month.  I have added weights on my ankles and I carry 1 pound weights as well.  I do arm exercises as I walk.  I also have been doing short bursts of jogging to get my heart rate up a bit. 

I can't say I notice a change in clothing sizes as of yet.  The change from going from a size 12 to 10 was wonderful!  But this month, even though some measurements still went down... my clothes still seem to fit just as snug.  I am happy though, that I can put my beginning measurements and see some changes.  I realize when one begins to exercise, measurements often go up (which mine did) before they go down.  Another noticable change is that I can see my arm muscles now when I move my arms.  Kinda funny... I was cleaning the bathroom and glanced in the mirror as I picked something up and saw my muscle move... I was impressed... those arm exercises are doing something!
