I was able to walk twice this week. This resulted in the aches and pains that go with becoming more active. I hobbled around like an old woman, creaking and groaning. I have not been able to walk the last couple of days due to the creaks and groans, but also due to the wet, cold, windy weather that permeates the NW of the United States this time of year.
Last year, I walked the parking garage when the weather was too nasty to walk outside. I am hoping that I will convince myself that this is still a good idea next week. My goal is to walk 3 times next week; rain or shine.
I am not someone who likes to go to the gym. We have a stationary bike at home, but heaven forbid I actually use it. What I enjoy is walking. I find it meditative, invigorating, and rejuvenating. I don't get that feeling with any other physical activity. It grounds me, which is why if I don't walk, I loose any forward momentum.
I have to keep reminding myself that it is ok to take the time for me on the weekends and go for a walk. I try to force myself to walk 5 days a week on my lunch break while at work. Due to schedules, work load, and other interruptions, it is not always feasible for me to walk on my lunch break.
I have lost my train of thought on this post, so I am posting it as incomplete.
