Walking it all away...

I have started to diet and exercise regularly. I have found that I can't wait to get out of the house at night to take my walks. I've been walking five miles a night this week, sometimes a little more, but always five miles. I am a stay at home Dad so this is some of the only alone time I get. Peaceful, whether walking the track at our church or walking the roads through the country side around the house. I have time to reflect on things, life, whatever. It's nice.

I have time for music again. Let me rephrase that, I have time for music again. Earbuds in, full on blasting my eardrums, I have time for music. Which I have missed so much in the last two years staying home with Sam constantly needing to be watched over. Not complaining mind you. There isn't anything that replaces him or his sister, you just miss the little things sometimes.

I have found that I have gotten to the point where the hunger pains have stopped. I don't really miss eating all the time. I think I've finally gotten into the mindset that I need. Which is exciting for me. I am easily distracted. :)

I know the weight isn't all going to drop off in a matter of weeks, I spent the better part of two decades putting it on. It takes time, but I already feel so much better, and I can't wait for the challenge each day.

So here I go, walking it all away.
