The one where I start walking again

You know how the Friend's episodes are titled to begin "the one with the...", I am in that kind of mood.

I am walking again. At least once last week, and then this morning again. I hadn't walked due to muscle pain, weight gain due to mc and thyroid, feeling slower than anything, and simply having no energy.

Well, I did it. I did not track distance, that way I can't beat myself for my speed. I know which driveway was the halfway point last time and this time (this time was further). I set out to move for a certain number of minutes. It felt great. I love a morning walk. It is hard to wake up for it, esp with fighting the fatigue related to my thyroid.

The sun was in a beautiful rise this morning - pink and golden. I listened to my lectures while I walked. I smelled the flowers, smiled at the animals, and moved my body.

I am working on me. I am trying to improve each aspect of my life and living by the motto, "if not now, when?" The sunshine has been partly cloudy and I am tired of it.

So my goal now is to focus on eating right, moving my body, studying, and organizing.

Sweetie and I are planning vacations. We both have a ton of vacation to use up or we lose it.
