Welcome to my first post on my first ever blog! My husband recommended that I keep a journal about my 30 day challenge, so this is it! First, what is my challenge and why am I doing it?
My husband thought I was complaining just a bit too much about some health issues, so he is the one that challenged me to a 30 day hiking program. The rules are:
1. Starting Nov 1, 2009 I must hike every day for 30 days.
2. I am not allowed to have my nightly glass of red wine. (deep sigh)
3. I must use poles when I hike.
Some of my symptoms are: hot flashes, mood swings, the usual menopause stuff. I must note that I am almost 46 years old and think that I am much too young to be going through this! Also, I have issues with my knees. One is worse than the other, but I am using some Amazon gel on it and wearing a knee brace when hiking. I also think I have a mid-life ‘pooch’ that I would like to see gone. After four kids, I’m not sure that will ever happen, but I’m willing to give it a go!
My stats are:
Height: 5′8″
Weight: 143 lbs
I wear a size 6, but would like to not have my ‘pooch’ hanging over my pants!
So, today is day 8 and I am feeling somewhat wore out. Did I mention that I have four kids ranging in age from 11yrs. to 20 yrs.? Also my husband and I run a small restaurant…..so this is no small feat for me to keep on track.
I will keep you all posted on how it’s going and if my symptoms decrease.
