I thought about going over to Palmer Park this morning but it's very overcast and I don't want to be up there in the rain. So I decided to walk around the community but when I got out there the rain started. I know it wouldn't kill me to walk in the rain but I prefer not to. I am feeling pretty good this morning. My legs aren't as sore as I thought they would be. The humidity is high this morning. I'm sweaty just from the short walk that I did take. I'm hoping that there will be a clear patch at some point in the day. Maybe David and I can go over to Garden of the Gods and take a walk over there. I'd like to get David out there walking with me as often as I can. It'll do him some good to go for a walk.
I'm having a Boost for breakfast. I really want a bowl of cereal but I'm not sure if I'll have that. I already took my morning meds so I'll probably get sleepy in just a little bit. I feel like I should just head over to Palmer Park and hope for the best but I'm afraid of getting caught in a rainfall. I bet it's beautiful up there. Once I lose enough weight I might look for a rain suit that I can walk in. Then I could walk even if it's raining.
I'm really afraid that not walking this morning will lead to me not walking anymore. Maybe this is a good exercise for me to take a day off and still be able to get back to it the next day. I need to know that it's okay to take a day off and that I can get right back at it. Mostly I just feel like a failure this morning. I think I should go out and walk no matter what the weather is doing. I should keep to the routine. But that leads to being regimented and I don't want my walks to be a drag. I want them to be energizing.
I think I'll go drink the rest of my Boost and then go back to bed. I just have to keep telling myself that taking a day off is not a disaster (black and white thinking). It's okay to take a break.
Thanks, Kitty. This break day has ended up being really good for me. I feel totally rested and looking forward to walking tomorrow.
