Challenge- Day 1

The Honey Bear and I walked Beasley up to the bus stop for 8am. After B’s departure, off we went. It was a lovely 45 minute walk. However on my favourite uphill path, Honey Bear took off into the bush. She did not return. This is not unusual as she is frequently distracted by her nose and any strange animal scent. After deer I’m guessing as they are her weakness. I continued on my walk trusting that she would quickly catch up. Nope. I continued on my route home, calling for her the entire way, knowing she would hear me and get her ass in gear…. nope. I approached home, expecting her to meet me. Nope.

After preparing a cup of my brilliant, new, hot, very best ever coffee to take with me to go recover dog, there she leapt up onto the deck. Frosty, panting and oh-so-happy to see me. Silly beast!

Great walk after several weeks not, despite disobedient wandering companion….

Well, tomorrow marks the return of some degree of structure with the kids returning to school and we adults returning to our work days. Part of this structure involves my instituting some form of daily physical activity. Any routine of fitness has gone to pot over the past month and the end of American Thanksgiving (and endless chowing down) usually marks a renewed commitment to healthy living in preparation for the inevitable Christmas binge and the impending New Year.

So, the Challenge:

I invite any of you who might saunter through to join me in a commitment to daily physical activity. It doesn’t have to be gruelling, it just has to be done. 30 minutes, at least, every day. I will be keeping a log here and I look forward to your comments regarding your own activity.

The point of this is to keep me going, knowing there are others to keep me honest…. perhaps it might get someone else out there moving, too!

Starting now takes the pressure off the New Year. It makes room to have perhaps a set of more inspired resolutions, than ”get off yer ass!”

Say It!

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

… when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
