I've been far too lax with myself; I haven't been out walking in weeks and I can tell - I have not been sleeping well and my clothes don't fit like they did before. The weatherman wasn't helping much either, with his forcasts of frigid temperatures and blowing winds. I took full advantage of that and stayed in the house with all the delicious Christmas cookies. So yesterday I strapped cleats onto my walking shoes and set off for my 5-mile walk around the block. It felt so good! How could I have forgotten the wonderful rush I get from my walks?! Not only is it great exercise, but it's when I do my best thinking and planning - no distractions, just peace and solitude. Just because it is winter, it doesn't mean that you cannot get outside and exercise the winter-blues from your body. Go for a walk, ski, ice-skate or grab a sled and fly down the hills. Come to think of it, I need to find my winter boots so I go hiking with my snowshoes. |
