Something Creative
It’s official…I’ve decided & put money into getting more fit. One reason is I want to lose weight (I’m a woman we always want to lose weight). I know all the medical reasons blah, blah, blah. None of that has made any difference to me up to this point & it really is just a small part of it now.
Mostly I want to be able to do things that I struggle with now. I love to go hiking in the summer (the North Shore is amazing & I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see enough or take enough pictures) and would really like have more stamina for that. I’m also hoping to participate in my 2nd 5k walk/run this July. I walked last year without any training & made it! I also wanted to die for 3 days afterward. I don’t intend to run this year but would like to improve my time & maybe even raise money this year as it is a fundraiser for ALS (that was started in honor of a local man who is suffering from it.) I’d also like to think that a year from now I’ll totally have the stamina to try snowshoeing with my husband. He likes to do it & it would be so awesome to take our dogs out some sunny winter day & hit the trails at one of our many fantastic state parks. Plus I’d be able to take more pictures & spend time with Abe which is always a 1st choice for me.
I also want to be able to keep up with all the nieces & nephews I have. They are a crazy active bunch & getting bigger each day. I don’t want to miss a moment of the fun they have.
Right now my resolve is strong. I really do want to have the strength to do more stuff. The weight loss is an added bonus & hopefully I will be able to stick with this for the long haul…(I’m making Abe join me in this endeavor if for no other reason than to make him ache when I do.) I’m sure I’ll struggle with this but my prayer is that it won’t be too much….
