a new exercise

So I picked up a new exercise for me. Normally I do Jazzercise 6 times a week which I love doing and won't stop doing any time soon, I do need something else just to give my weight loss a little boost. I had no problem with losing 75 lbs. with Jazzercise alone but now I think my body has gotten use to the exercise routines so I need to add something else.

Originally I was going to buy a bicycle and just wheel my way around town. Eventually I will probably end up doing that with the gas prices going up and all but financially I can't afford one now unless I find one at a yard sale or something. Instead I took up running. Well it's more like a jog/walk thing now. I'm not a good runner and never really was one due to my ankle issues. This jog/walk exercise seems to be doing just fine for me. My endurance levels have gone up within just a couple of days by doing this and my co-worker has already notice a difference. Another plus for this is it wears my dog out. He's full of energy by the time I get home so this is something he does with me to release some of that energy. So now that I found some type of other exercise that works for me hopefully I can stick with it. I think I can as long as I can keep the music on my ipod recent. I would like to find some music ideas that are good for running, I feel if I can change up the music every once in awhile I won't lose interest.

Doing the jog/walk exercise now I'm hoping to eventaully be able to run or do a light jog the whole time if my ankle doesn't cause me problems. We will just have to see. So this is good. I do have goals for me and I want to achieve them. I CAN DO THIS!!
