Workout day 1

Sorry there will be no pics on this post..
I worked out today!!! 
Why all excited you ask? 
Well, I have been sitting here watching the pounds pile on for the last five months while I was on leave. 
I didn't eat any more than usual but being injured made me less active than I have ever been in my life.
I have always been pretty active doing my day to day stuff - which equals walking at least 5 miles everyday.
But I have never actually had to workout a day in my life. Until now...
Being thin and in shape came naturally to me..always did.
But somewhere around 33 ye ole metabloism kicked in... or slowed down I should say.
So this morning, my knee was feeling pretty good and I walked a mile!! 
Followed by 100 situps, leg throws, and calf raises. 
I am going to do this twice a day from now on.
With Sunday being the exception..even God rested on the Sabbath. 
Well, wish me luck..
p.s. I will publish pics of my end result.. but until then you will have to use your imagination...lol
