The Holidays – 12/19/08 – 1/6/09

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

I didn’t have easy access to the internet during our travels (OH, WV, NC and home via D.C. and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry).  Walks varied from suburban landscapes through ticky-tacky houses, to pacing inside during ice storms, to wooded NC gravel roads, to the beach in Cape May, NJ.  I missed 3 days – Christmas Eve and 2 travel days. 

 The cool thing I’ve noticed is that now when I get up and start walking across a room, I can feel my body ramping up.  I start to move, and my body starts to put it in gear.  Without thinking about it, my pace picks up and I feel ready to go-girl-go.  If I’m just going across the room to pick up a book or grab a load of laundry, I have to pull back and consciously stop.  If not, I’d be ready to go out the door or start doing laps across the house. 

It’s nice to feel motivated, without trying.

Back on daily posts, as of today.
