The best thing I ever did is buy a treadmill this past
summer.
I love to walk if I have time I
could walk all day. I loved to walk to town but seriously it sucks up the whole
day and I would never get anything done on those days.
One thing with the treadmill I
don't have to worry about dodging snakes, worms and road kill. I don't have to worry about
bears and cougars. I don't have to hit the ditch every once and while because
someone doesn't see you or worry about being spread with mud and water from the
big trucks. One of the worst moments was a complete dust bath and not being able to
see or breath from a low bed.
Yet even with all of that I do miss the moments
of feeling complete, the feeling of an accomplishment and feeling of
freedom.
I walk damn near every day for
an hour and at the most two and bit hours ~ any more than that I would no get
any work done.
Since I bought the
machine the only days I have not walked on it where when I was in Alaska or
visiting our son. The odd day if we were off on day trip or on some days our
grandchildren stay longer to visit. I can count under two hands how many days I
missed.
I just put on my head phones
super loud and listen to all kinds of music.
I must teach myself to not feel
guilty about doing the walk, it is kind of ingrained in me I need to be
constantly working ~ not being idol. So, if I can I will walk during the lunch
hour and in the evening after my husband calls it a night. I will also take the
dogs to the top of property for a walk.
One other problem is all this walking
makes me damn hungry ~ it's terrible.
Seriously I think everyone
should have one.
Just walk
Go on do it~ it is so good for a soul
