It Came From Outer Space…

I’m working on improving my health all around this year. I’ve been pretty lax on taking care of myself properly in this past year. Skipping meals, skipping exercise. I started a plan when we were at the apartment complex still using their exercise room which had lots of weight accessories that I could use without paying extra. We do have some small weights at the house which my husband bought for me when we were first married, but I’m worried about weight lifting around the munchkin because he likes to get into everything and he’d hurt himself or both of us if he got in the way and caused me to trip up with the weights.

So, this morning we went on a nature walk, the munchkin and I. I haven’t really explored the neighborhood too much because we’ve been so busy getting everything straight inside the house or getting the cars fixed. Monday morning while I was at the mechanic my husband went walking with the munchkin and found a nature trail which runs along the side of our property and into the woods behind the house. So the munchkin and I were intrepid adventurers this morning, traversing sand traps and wood piles and finding out about rocks and birds. It was great fun and great exercise too because we were walking around for almost an hour. I feel at peace more too. It’s been so long since I’ve gone on walks like that because we’ve never really had any area. Where we’re living right now reminds me so much of where I grew up in England. There’s a bit more sand, but it’s the first time since I left college that I’ve had access to woodland paths, and been able to walk around hearing birds sing and seeing squirrels clambering through the trees.
