When Fat Burns.....

I recently decided to get off my laziness and start exercising. If you really knew me, you'd know how difficult this decision is for me. I can't stand exercising!!! I have zero endurance, I sweat like crazy, and I find no enjoyment in it. So, while the treadmill collects dust, the weight bench has become a storage shelf, my Pilates videos are all buried under the plethora of Disney movies, I have tried to come up with excuse after excuse not to exercise. It all has to change! I decided to walk. I can't run, but I can walk. I strapped Maddie in the lounging stroller, gave her a bottle and she was out. I started to walk around the block, then moved onto the next street, that street became a few more streets which turned into several blocks, and you get the idea. I was speed-walking, trying to only step once, twice tops, in a single sidewalk square. I know, corny. But it kept me moving. So while I'm pushing the stroller, I'm heaving a little, working up a little perspiration, it must be doing something! But then my legs start itching. It's not that cold out, my hiney is itching, my thighs, and then I remember someone told me when fat burns, it itches!! So then I'm thinking "Keep itching baby! You've become a fat-scratching, speed-walking machine!" When I was back home, after completing the hugest circle this neighborhood has to offer, I got in the car and drove the exact route I just walked. It was exactly 3 miles!!! I was so proud of myself. So that's become my new exercise regime. I'm shooting for this walk maybe 3 times a week. Anyone else want to scratch fat with me?
