What a beautiful, crisp fall day it is! I just
came in from getting my walk on. Those of you who've been following the blog from the beginning know that walking is how
this journey of self-discovery/weight loss began in
2009. Whenever I'm feeling sluggish or need to rejuvenate -- I return
to that place, that starting point. I'm a true believer in looking
within for self-motivation. Chatting with loved ones, reading self-help
books, and coming up with a game plan from trainers, are helpful tools
and they all can play a role. At the end of the day, however, there's
just me. So I lace up my tennis shoes, and put one foot in front of the
other and try to figure it all out. How to maneuver from one point to
another in this obstacle course called life.
For me walking is
not so much about the physical exercise, but more about my mental
health. Walking for me is cathartic. Taking in all the beautiful sights
of nature, the fresh air, and just spending time with myself, thinking.
Really thinking. Reflecting is what my walks are about. Walking does the
mind and body good. So whenever I need a reboot, I get my walk on!
