Of course the snow would wait until we start moving. The weather is making it very easy for me to make decision and choices to get healthy. Shoveling show, moving furniture, boxes and so on is making me find muscles I never knew I had, or forgot I had them.
Today is day 3 of moving with at least another week to go, and again it is snowing. At least 5 new inches need to be cleared from walk ways, driveways and so on before we start. Getting the snow out of the back of the truck is one of my least favorite things, climbing up there and getting down makes me realize just how fat and out of shape I am.
A day or two ago Seth Simonds who writes Primal Stride offered a Five at Five Challenge, I think it would be fun to take this challenge, and participate with others making healthier choices. I am not sure I can commit to the first challenge, due to moving and so on. Walking at 5 a.m. is not really safe in my area due to weather conditions. I am going to do my best to take the challenge, get up at 5 a.m. and walk sometime around 7 when the temps and daylight make this more favorable. I am not sure I can complete the just over 3 miles, but will do my best.
Thinking I could also do walk away the pounds for 3 miles in my house – if I can get the family room set up in time which may be impossible with the snow we are seeing today.
We do not have to be alone as we make healthier choices, I have convinced my husband to walk with me and depending on the next challenge I may find he will again participate. Regardless, I will not feel like I am alone in the tasks as I have the Primal Stride to follow.
Signing off for now, boxes to pack, snow to Shovel – Today is New Year’s Eve – be safe, be healthy and see you next year!
Happy New Year!
