Well, only a moderate walk without the stairs this morning. I kinda didnt do the stairs on purpose. I want my body to stay mixed up. Not even sure Ill walk with kids this afternoon. Five miles for a seven yr old is a lot...she kept saying let's go further! Then as we trekked back up hill to home, she was not so energetic. THe little turkey has way too much energy. Im thankful she takes after her daddy and is naturally slender. The one thing I do hope is that Im inculcating some good habits in her. I slacked too much on the others.
I have to admit, my stern father is definitely the one who put those habits into me. I feel so sorry for him now, because while he can still walk, most of the time, he still has bad days with his diabetes. When I was nine, he had us run a mile a day, rain or shine, until we'd finally leave home. I still remember my sister being a tiny little thing of about three, and stopping along the track to pick flowers. Dad still made her do it, though! Looking back, even tho I hated it, I am so glad he made us all do that. I think its why none of us kids ever got big when we were young.
I almost think my weight gains through the years were a sort of rebellion. Stupid, huh? In fact, I just realized I lost once in the eighties, twice in the nineties(death and divorce caused one of em), and now. Hopefully this time itll stick.
Maybe Im gettin' old and wise these days. I sure hope so.
