I Walk the Line

Well, I walk in a straight line. Mostly. Last night I started on a new endeavor. I decided that on days when weather allows, I am going to walk home from work. It's about 2 miles and it took me about 40-45 minutes. It was great. It felt good to just walk and clear my head and enjoy the sunshine. It isn't hilly so I wasn;t all yucky sweaty ro anything. I did work up a sweat but I was still comfortable in my jacket. It was great.

You know what's even better? The fact that I did it again this morning!!! I woke up at 6:45 or so to take Allison to the aiport. I got up and got ready, drove her to sfo, came back, dropped off her car, grabbed a scarf and gloves and I was off. It was, again, totally great! It just felt good to be moving. It took me like 42 minutes or somethng - time I should have used to come in early and finish the sork I have been putting off for weeks - but I decided it was worth it for me to invest that time in myself. I am worth it.

So yeah, that's 4 miles in the last 2 days. I have exercise back in my life! Yay! I am so happy with things right now. I am working hard on my weight loss and my health, I am so happy having Jason in my life, I am loving my plans for the future, I am working hard to plan for things and trying not to let anythng get out of control. Last night, per jason's, um, advice, I spent 30 minutes just cleaning my room when I got home. I didn;t have to clean it all, I just did 30 minutes. That was it wasn;t such an overwhelming task. I then spent 30 minutes finishing another project I had been wanting to complete. Just spending those little blocks of time - what amounts to one tv show, really - made things so much easier. I felt a little more relaxed in my surroundings and a lot more in charge of my life. That chaotic noise that usually swirls around me quieted down a bit. I needed that. I like the quiet.
