How are those New Year resolutions going?

It is day eleven of the New Year and just checking to see how your life is going.  I am walking on the elliptical but haven’t started on the hoola hoop yet.  I have a new one without ribs coming so that should be soon hopefully.

I walked my 15 minutes today.  I was sore yesterday and that tells me it might take a while for me to get myself back where I have the stamina I need so if I need to go somewhere in a hurry I will be able to.

Years ago I went to Wyoming on what they call the Trek.  I could only take 16 pounds of personal items with me, that I how much the original Pioneers were allowed.  It is where the Mormon Pioneers who came across the planes with handcarts were caught by winter storms and many died along the trail.  You may go there and push the handcarts and go along the same trail they walked.  It was a wonderful experience, I just wish I had been in better shape to walk the trail.   

I had been working a desk job and was more out of shape than I am now and it was extremely hard for me to walk.  I told myself I would never get that out of shape again.  I may not be in that great of shape now but my muscles are much stronger.  If you ever have a chance to do this Trek I would recommend it.  It will give you a different perspective on what is really important.

Keep going and remember you will never fail if you don’t try.  In other words if you fall off the wagon get back on and start over the next day.  Don’t look back and beat yourself up, just celebrate what you did today, at least you are doing something.
