I never really measured how much I walked everyday when I used to go to school, to the store, to relatives homes, or to church as I was growing up in Colombia. I came to live in the U.S.A. when i was 16 years old. I figured that I used to walk 1 1/2 to 4 miles everyday. Wow, I was fit!
I have been developing terrible circulation problems for the lack of exercise I have submitted my body since I came to live here. It takes a lot of effort to exercise. You gotta tell yourself to do it! My son is exercising everyday and that is why I started to think about my younger years and how active I used to be.
Oh, if I could just get a mile or two every day or an equivalent of a workout! I get so busy and distracted. I start a program and a few days later I find myself doing something else than exercising. I gotta try it again and remind myself of that little train that said " I can"!
