I surprised myself with my walking.  Last Tuesday I got this urge to go walking and walking I did..to town and back, a little over 4 miles round trip. 

Next day I rested, day after, I rested…and then the urge hit me again…this time around the block.  Where I live (semi out in the country)  there is what I call the ’small block’ and the ‘big block’…after figuring out how my miles it was, I could walk half the small block plus walk the whole big block and it was a little over 2 miles, soooo…I started walking.  Once early in the morning and once late in the evening…I have been walking over 4 miles a day for the last four days straight…but (here comes the “oops” part)….I walked the 2 miles Sunday morning but in the evening we had a cookout and (sigh)…I over indulged food wise…regardless to say, I “REALLY” over indulged…but I did go ahead and do my evening walk…now I gotta work extra hard this week to rid myself of my Sunday over indulgence…time to cut a couple of 100 calories off my usual 1500 for a few days and add extra exercise this to compensate for my over indulgence.  It’s ok though…Special Occasions don’t come around that often…Thank goodness.  I will lose this weight…I am determined…

Monday though was a “I will” or “I won’t” day…I had to debate with myself to walk or not. Monday morning it was raining, not hard, but still raining…the “I will” in me won…I walked my 2 miles in the rain…actually, it was kind of fun…lol.  

Then Monday evening, I was tired and sleepy, so I took a nap.  When I woke up, it was almost dark…the “I will” and “I won’t” in me started debating again… the “I will” in me won again…I walked in the dark…there was enough light from the street lights to keep me going…it was a good walk and I even walked just a tad farther then I normally do…

 The “I will” in me is my best friend.  “I Will” keeps me motivated, inspired and determined to keep moving forward no matter what…

We all have our over indulgent days…all is not lost…just pick myself up, dust myself off and keep on moving forward…I Will Succeed!!
