Ankle Weights...

I've been walking a few days a week during my lunch break. It's made me feel really good about myself and my efforts to shed weight. As you also know that my weight loss has ben kind of halted lately so I decided to purchase some Ankle Weights, My first instinct was to click right on over to Amazon.com and order me up a set... I got intimidated. I don't know what to shop for in fitness equipment... 
Hello.... I'm just under 300 lbs and prior to this year had never once exercised for the exercise...

Well, this morning I had to go to Wal-Mart for dog food so I thought I'd cruise past the fitness section and see if they had any. I'm so glad I decided to stop in person. While on Amazon I thought I needed the 10lb weights because I've lost 21lbs so I should be able to handle it right.. wrong!

I settled for the 5lb adjustable set for about $10... while writing this I found that can be had online for just $5.77 plus .97 shipping (walmart).

Let me tell you, I took 1/2 the weight out before my walk today...   Boy did I feel the burn!  I didn't get 2 blocks before I got a pinch in my left calf muscle. my legs feel it now and I plan to wear them all the time in the office.  As my weight decreases or my legs get stronger I intend to add some of the weights back in...


Wish me luck!
