Something strange happened to me on my evening walk.
I have been walking 89 days now, everyday since October 14th. I typically go for an early morning walk, and one in the evening. Today, I hit up my AM walk, got some chores done around the house, went to Costco and got home. I felt pretty done for the day, and definitely did NOT want to go for a PM walk. But, I did.
So to the strange thing: I got about a mile into my evening walk and all of a sudden realized: “there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing right now.” I say that’s strange because I have 47 years of watching others be active and exercising and it always felt out of reach. But now here I am, 89 days in and I flipped the script.
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of more times coming up that I’m not gonna be in the mood to exercise. However, today is going to stick with me.
I don’t just want to be someone who exercises anymore - I AM someone who exercises.
