Paul chooses to get his exercise on his bike in the summer...so I lose my walking partner. I still take a walk almost every day...and often a couple....but I will admit that I don't always push myself. I'm easily distracted by bright shiny objects...and walk more to observe the world than for my heart rate. I'm trying to change that.
So I'm walking with intention. Intentionally walking farther and faster...but still intentionally stopping to look when something catches my eye.
Today I walked a route I haven't done in a while and it did not disappoint. The hill got my heart rate up....and there were plenty of shiny objects that caught my eye.
After some garden tending I treated myself to a mid morning swim....
all of it good for my health.
And the fact that my texture garden is still thriving
this late in the season is good for my health too....and my heart.
Those shiny objects must have raised your heart rate all on their own! I tip my hat to your commitment to activities good for your health, MaryAnn. I think of you often as I now move after every meal : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Dotty. I'm not always the best role model but I do still try and move after every meal. Taking care of ourselves takes time and effort and it's time to give it more effort!
