What Track?
By Administrator | April 22, 2007
As usual, I’ve gotten so far from my planned exercise “track” that I can no longer see where I was going. I’m doing well in a dietary sense by avoiding flour and sugar a majority of the time, which is always good, but I’ve been pretty busy with unexpected things popping up in my life lately and when I get home in the evening I’m so exhausted that I don’t think to go out and take a walk.
This week is going to be another busy one, but I’m at least going to try to get out and search for my exercise track again. I still want to participate in that triathlon in 2013 so I really need to get myself in shape - though the weight I’ve lost so far is helpful.
Recent events have also caused me to think quite a bit about the child I once was and I realized that I was much more active than I’d thought. I’ve always enjoyed being out in the fresh air and sunshine and I really like wandering along water to the sound of birdsong and the whisper of wind through the pines. Riding a bike downhill with the wind in my face is a wonderful rush, as is relaxing into the gait of a horse as we trot along a country lane. I also used to dance and roller-skate a lot, but probably my favorite form of exercise is swimming since I’m a water sign and a real water baby; nothing is more relaxing to me than slipping into the comforting cocoon of a warm pool.
What I really need to do is take a step back from the adult I’ve become and find my inner child. While being responsible is important, I’m also noticing that the mantle of adulthood is exhausting. Maybe that’s what was meant by the person who said: sometimes you just have to drop your pants and take a slide on the ice (or something to that effect).
