This whole walking thing is really what the doctor ordered. Each day I feel like I can do more.
Yesterday I felt great. My morning walk seemed to take less effort, even though it was hotter. At lunchtime I got antsy and went ahead and walked back to my car, then realized I had a good 40 minutes left...so I drove down to the North Augusta Boat Dock and Fishing Piers to look around.
I was ecstatic as I wandered around the piers snapping photos. It felt like it had been such a long time since I'd really gone on a photo jaunt. Feeling healthy and energetic made me want to do all the things I enjoy and haven't done lately.
I was having such a good time, in fact, that I recorded--and later uploaded!--a video of myself.
Last night I had to run an errand, so I couldn't go biking--and it actually started to rain on and off after work anyway. But I still managed to cook dinner, which I ate while watching some Detective Conan. I went to bed on time at 10:30 and woke up this morning naturally at 7 (though my not being able to breathe due to congestion might not be the most "natural" way to awaken).
So far this is going really well. I plan to keep my good habits going into the weekend, though I haven't decided how yet. Biking, probably. Once I've adjusted to doing this I hope to add other things to my schedule that I've been meaning to get to, like a couple of web design projects and my Cowboy Bebop game for the AMRN.
It feels so good to be active again, even if it's only a 15-minute walk here and there. I'll work up to more in time :)
I finally got speakers for the new computer so ---- this one has the old ones back!
ReplyDeleteI immediately went to your video .. and YAY it is for me!!
What good exercise. boy o boy you got red tho!! M
Yes, it's been very hot...but I'm glad I'm doing this walking thing nonetheless. Just need to remember to stay hydrated.
ReplyDeleteI skipped it yesterday due to getting up late and due to the fact that my left knee was starting to hurt a little, but it was fine today so I walked again.
Beautiful photos, and it's cool that you're feeling good and doing the walking/biking thang. I can't wait for my gimpy leg to heal so I can start walking. Just in time for DC to turn into Satan's Furnace. (Grr!)
ReplyDeleteIt's in the 90s here now. Spring is so fleeting...
