11 mile morning - why the smell of fresh cut grass, morning dew and fallen branches energized me

We went to see Angels and Demons finally.  Ummmmmmmm that’s the wrong name for that movie.  It’s good, not as good as Terminator or Star Trek, but interesting.  Long though.  Be prepared to sit through a lot of drama.  Oh, again coffee wired me for the night/morning.

Today is my 2nd offical non-exercise day.  Well, you know how it goes, I won’t exercise but I am walking because I don’t like doing nothing in the morning.  Not to say walking isn’t exercise, but again, I don’t sweat like I do with my other workout routines.

Thus, got up to a beautiful cloudy and foggy morning which is the perfect condition for walking for me.  I started and never stopped.  I went two rounds yep, that’s 11miles total.  With my IPOD loaded with some great music I just walked and enjoyed everything mother nature gave to us.  I watched as my neighbors cleared their front yard,  others sets up for a yard sale.  I said hello to other walkers and joggers, waved high to bikers.  Life is good.

As I walked I thought about a lot things.  Especially this journey.   It’s such a harsh one.  One slip and I either fall or shake it off and keep on going.  In the past any little setback meant giving up.  Not this time.  I don’t care if I fall a million times, I will always get back up to fight.

Case in point, still fighting night time eating.  It’s something that I can’t conquer and win against for some reason, but I’m trying.  Certainly trying.

Also, I think to myself, WHY do I want this so bad?  To be healthy and fit?  Because somewhere someone doubted me - I DID.  I doubted myself.

I need to take this exercise break to focus on my eating again.  Sooner or later….hehe 4 years and counting I am still fighting the food demons.

    yeah we saw Angels and Demons. It is really good filem, brilliant twist, but yeah, looooong. Star Trek.. LOVE IT!!! Havent seen Terminator yet. It hasnt been released in Ireland yet.

    Hey and about the food demons….I;m not sure we can totally do away with them, but maybe learn to live with them?! Keep up the great work Nancy.
