a walk.

The time changed, so I was up an hour early for no apparent reason. My son & I took a walk around my apartment complex, to the rental office, and to my mailbox. I realized a few things:

• the air smells beautiful before 7am (now 8am)


• I never walk anywhere


• my son and I need to bond doing things HE likes to do - like walking


• I need to lose between 110 - 150 lbs

Ok, so I guess the solution to all of the above (including my getting some fresh air) is obvious. Although my schedule isn't. Can my son & I get up every morning before his 7AM bus stop call & walk for at least 20 minutes? He has the energy - and I have a need...

OK, let me be honest - after a 7:15 - 9:45PM class I'm making excuses in the AM. I can't even lie. But since I've noticed that this is normally due to my 10:15PM after-class dinner, I also know this has more to do with my lethargic digestion than an actual physical tiredness.

All I can do is try - and take one baby step at a time.
