Still walkin'...(Ginger)

I'm coming to enjoy these afternoon walks...it'll suck when I actually have a job and can't take them anymore!! I've found that between 4pm and 5pm is kind of my productive "dead zone", so that's when I'll go out.

Its nice to get out of the house(sometimes I spend so much time inside that I feel like an agoraphobic), smell that little bit of spring in the air, and literally clear my head. Aside from my musings on nifty houses I couldn't tell you what I'm thinking about as I meander along - and that's just the way I like it.

The downside is that sometimes that clear head alows a sneaky coherent thought through. I was thinking about my new scale, and how I programmed it; I always thought I was 5'8" until I stood next to Comrade, who also claims to be 5'8" - either she's taller or I'm shorter, so I told my scale I was 5'7.5". Anyway, as I approached my front door I realized that I'd also told my scale that I was 34. I did the math and realized I was 35 (yes, I know I'm the puppy of this group...stop laughing!) - holy crap, I'm on that downhill slide to 40!! There are times that I'm just amazed by how quickly time passes - maybe if I'm thinner I can at least keep up with it.

    You go girl! (Maybe you could get a job as a walking postal delivery person -- kill two birds?!)

    I started the gym thing this week and am doing a first-thing-in-the morning routine which is tough to start (getting out of bed is never fun) but I love feeling good all day about the fact that I have already done it. I can like myself all day and I don't have to come up with excuses for not doing it later!
