Still Not So Great

Something's still amiss.

I'm only walking during my work break, but at least I'm walking.  We're due for 85 to 90-plus degree weather later this week, so there's no way on God's green earth I'll be walking during that shit.

Today I turned the music OFF during my walk because I was losing the connection to the earth. I wasn't hearing the birds or the wind, I wasn't smelling the earth scents, but I am again.

When I walked outside of work this past Friday, these clouds took my breath, quite literally. They are stunning...#whyIwalk.

I'll keep going.

Not Good

Not having a stellar week, at least not for home-walking.  Still walking during my break at work, just not at home.

Also, I've been nibbling more on the Chips Ahoy cookies.

Something's amiss.

I'm Proud of Me

I am damn  proud of myself.  Walking almost every day has become so much easier.

It feels good.
It feels right.
I think about it when I'm not walking.
At the few times my mental chatter says no,
     it's like my body takes over and I walk anyway.

The only time I don't walk is when either my knee or my back are too painful.  And then, I'll maybe walk around the backyard, very slowly and steadily, but it feels good.

Sometimes I walk slowly just to walk, and that's okay.

Since I last wrote on April 20, I've walked a total of 12.77 miles!!  TWELVE POINT SEVEN SEVEN MILES!!

I've found a new route from home which is 1.86 miles and I like it.

I also love the wind blowing on me, the birds singing, the new Spring growth, the beautiful smells from the newly budding flowering trees.

Most of the time I don't hurt. 

Thank You God.
