It was very hard to head out to Striebel Pond yesterday. The more I don't exercise and the more weight I gain, the worse my muscles ache - top to bottom - all day everyday. But I reminded myself that the longest journey begins with the first step and also that I had no idea what my favorite swan couple was doing this year.
When I was halfway through my mile walk, I spotted them and I could see that they had babies again. As I got closer I could see that I wasn't the only one who was lazy this Spring. Mr. and Mrs. Swan only had three babies.
Even though there were only three, it was a beautiful family and hopefully I'll be out there to keep close track of progress.Also, I spotted these wildflowers that made me wish I'd walked prior to Beth's last You Capture. I definitely would have added them to my post.
So now I know I'm ready to do something about my failure to maintain the last few months. I just don't feel like it. The Sisterhood is starting a challenge tomorrow. It's a team thing and it involves a Boot Camp. Wow, not only am I failing in the motivation department but right now my body aches just from living. I'm pretty sure a boot camp would be beyond me BUT something reminds me that I won't know until I try.And I do owe that to myself, don't I?
Yes, you do and you need to join. Maybe the fitness gods will see fit to put us on the same team. One can hope, right? It could happen.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you're going in the right directions, small steps is what it takes, good for you signing up for the challenge. I'm exciting to watch the swan family grow again!
