Yesterday I managed to incorporate a pleasant 30 minute walk into a visit to Home Depot - yeah, looking at paint again - also shopping at nearby SuzAnna's Antiques and chatting with granddaughter Jasmin while she was working there. Did I buy something? You know the answer - will share later. Then, a quick grocery stop for fresh salad greens on the way home.
Not a bad couple of Sunday hours, especially as it was 65F with plenty of sunshine. Good feeling wearing cropped leggings - love air around my ankles - and my sleeveless safari vest over just a long-sleeved tee shirt, good after heavy Winter layers for so long.
This new area I chose for my walk looks almost scenic - pics taken with iPhone as I forgot my camera! Actually it's a piece of land once a golf course, now a large part of it has been built on by a huge car dealership - this pond area is really the only attractive part remaining.
Bulrushes were attractive reflected in the water along with
some bare Winter trees as the sun went down.
I'm planning to walk more now that spring is not too far off here in the southeast. I'm also eating more sensibly - this week is going to be a hard one as I kickstart my eating plan - just fresh fruits, green salads and nutritious homemade vegetable soups. I LOVE bread, cheese, and usually a sweet cookie with my afternoon cup of tea, all are off the menu for the entire week. Nobody can lose weight for you. No crash diets are worth the trouble and stress - you gain all those quick lost pounds right back. YOU have to want to lose weight or get back in shape after the winter/holiday season. All doable with sensible portions of healthy foods, and a good exercise program, which for someone my age is walking.....and then walking some more. No gym memberships required.
Do you have a plan for welcoming the Spring feeling
good about your physical self?
Don't you agree that when your body feels good your
mind does too?
