A Morning Walk

This morning I went for a walk around our complex. It was very invigorating. The temperature was cool so I wore a sweater. I was ready to take it off by the time I arrived home. I'm reading Mariel Hemingway's book entitled "Healthy Living from the Inside out". My plan is to walk each morning if it doesn't rain. To start on this routine I plan to walk around one time. When that becomes easier I'll walk around twice and finally work up to three times around. That would be equivalent to a three mile walk. On Monday and Thursday I'll do Chair Yoga. That should be an adequate workout routine for awhile. If Chair Yoga becomes too easy I'll switch to yoga on the mat. Right now I'm sure I'm not ready for that!! Now I just need to get motivated every day to get out there and DO IT. Once I start the walk I feel good and am glad I'm walking. Getting out there to walk is not as easy when you're sitting comfortably in a recliner knitting or listening to music. I know I can do it. Just get me out the door, please!
