I’ve found that my brain just keeps a turning and spinning and doesn’t want to stop. I know I’m not alone in this statement. I am constantly having squirrel moments in my brain. I’m thinking about one thing and then all of a sudden another thing pops in my head. Like just this morning, I’m thinking, get your ass out of bed, lets get your coffee, get your contacts in and change clothes so you can get your walk in. All good right? I’m at the part where I’m putting on my socks and then my walking shoes when squirrel moment, I need a new toaster. I have had this same toaster since I was married. Was my sister right? Should I have gotten one for Christmas?

Yeah, that was my brain before 6:45AM this morning. Now I know I may be weird when I’m walking myself through what I have to do while I’m doing it, but I can’t be alone in this. The older I get, I’m finding myself mentally checking off shit I’ve added to my mental list. So when I’m thinking about the next step, I’m crossing shit off my list. Then adding things to my list at the same time. I’m sure there is a diagnosis for this type of thing, but for now, we shall just call it the wheels keep a turning.

Onto the fun part of this post and that is that I walked 3 miles this morning with one of the best. We did it in under an hour. When I was sitting down and drinking my protein shake, I realized I’m not that tired. Knowing that I’m not in tip top shape, I’m thinking I must be getting into pretty good shape with walking? I then proceeded to go back to my posts and see how tired I described. I didn’t do much of that. Reality is, it isn’t hard to walk long distances. It really isn’t (if you don’t have a physical ailment). It can just be boring. The longer you walk the longer it takes and the more boring it can become. It’s key to be entertained the entire time you do it.

Bottom line, I’m doing well with the walking. I’m seeing results physically and mentally, it is doing wonders for my mental health. These wonders for my mental health are relating to my getting out of the house and having time to process my thoughts. All in all, very positive. I’m at the 3 month mark now since I started this journey and will be doing a body inventory here this weekend. Won’t that be exciting for me?
