SWEAT
With the onset of nicer weather, I've started walking more. Dh and I live in a small town, and there is a walking path around the park, and a track. But I didn't feel comfortable on either one of those really. The park always has people, and the track is right off the main road where people drive by all the time. It's not that exercise is embarrasing, but I just like being "alone" when I do it. So I thought about it, and found a new place to walk.
The cemetary. It's about 2 blocks from my house, away from traffic, and the inhabitants there don't cause me any sort of anxiety.
It's always manicured, and peaceful. However I'm not really thinking peaceful as I listen to my Kylie Minogue Fever cd (best workout cd ever, I swear), but it's so nice to be surrounded by quiet. Does that make sense?
In general it gives me a good 30-40 minute walk. It's got some hills, and it's smooth pavement.
If I had any question that I wasn't supposed to be walking in there, I was reaffirmed the other day. While walking, I like to read the names on the stones. Some have both first and last, some just say Father or Husband, and some just have the last name. There was one stone that gave me the sign I was looking for.
SWEAT.
Now I know it was the person's last name, and not a direct sign sent for me, but it was what I needed. So that's my after-work walking place. I do think that once I get in the hang of it, and if I am able to get myself up in the mornings, I will go to the track...try the ol' "run the corners, walk the straights" and see if that helps too.
Still trying to do the low-er carb thing. But haven't weighed myself yet.
Happy Tuesday.
