Sometimes living life means starting over!

Time for me to hit the "RESET" button!

Well, it doesn't pay to stop walking/running for six days in a row! I didn't walk all last week. I did walk 2 miles on Saturday with my sister-in-law. It was a great walk. Wore me out though. I need to get into more of a weekly routine. I walked tonight for a mile or maybe a little more. It was a nice peaceful walk. I pondered on my life. I really enjoyed it. I am going to become physically fit! I want desperately to become fit and lose fifty pounds! I will! I have to! I want to have an active life for the next twenty years!

Started up again tonight after not walking for three days!

Walked with my grandaughter while my grandson rode his bike.

We spent quality time together while getting physically fit!

Woohoo! I ran a little more tonight than I usually do. I am excited.

Well, as Dori would say ♫♪♫ Just keep swimming ♫♪♫ Just keep swimming ♫♪♫

Walked Tuesday night a little over a mile with my grandaughter. We had a good time and enjoyed each others company. It got dark quick so we cut the walk short, but still got in a little over a mile!

Walked again Wednesday night. Went to my daughters for her birthday. I ended up eating ice cream even after telling myself I need to cut back on that stuff. But afterward my grandaughter and I walked again. This time we figured it to be about 1.3 miles. Which wasn't too bad since we walked late and it got dark before we got back to her house.

I didn't walk tonight but mowed my back lawn. Which is a big lawn and takes quite a while to mow.

Came in tonight...got on the scales and I have gained weight! WTF? I am so discouraged. I have been eating the same as always so I don't get it!

I know now I need to incorporate a different eating plan into my life. I need to decide what type of plan to do, and then stick to it. I have had the best success with a low carb diet in the past. I need to choose one and then move forward with that choice!

It's all about choices!

Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses!

Another day! Another walk down the trail to physical fitness! I almost had myself talked out of it. You know...I was too tired! I wanted to go home. I could do it tomorrow. All of those excuses that I come up with on a daily basis! But I decided to be true to myself and the commitment I made to exercise my way to a better me! The walk was invigorating! I turned on some good tunes and walked to the beat of the music. The Eagles. Bob Seger. Al Stewart. Got me moving and my blood pumping.

I definately feel better for it. And I will continue on "MY HIGHWAY TO HEALTH"

What a beautiful sight! This Dragonfly was on the river bridge. Sun shining through his wings. I couldn't resist taking a pic of it. Not a bad photo for being taken with a cell phone!

Took another walk tonight down the river pathway. It is so beautiful there. I haven't walked down it for so many years. In fact I used to walk down it with my friends when there wasn't a path. Just next to the river, making our own trail.

I think I will start walking this pathway and go in different directions to shake things up a bit. I ran a little tonight, but it sure is hard to keep focused on running. I try to focus on an object to make it to ... but, stop right before I get there. I think alot of it is mental! I need to really focus and try harder and harder each time I run. But, I need to strengthen my knees too, so they don't have problems. Guess I better just keep working up to it little by little. Woohoo! I am going to keep going. One day I will be one of the people on the trail running and making it look so easy! But until then...
