New Beginnings


Today's Walk:
Time: 33:31 min
Distance: 1.58 miles
Calories Burned: 164


What some of you don't know about me is that I'm separated from my husband - and not by my choice. It's been a tough month for me. A lot of changes have been forced upon me. Some good. Some bad. Yesterday was a rather tough day. But it made me look at things a little differently.

I need to start doing things for me.
I need to start doing things for my kids.
I need to start looking ahead, and stop looking back.
I need to get serious about certain things in my life, and get silly about others.

I used to be so much different than I am now. I was so much more outgoing. So much more fun to be around. So much more spontaneous. I need to find that version of me and update her. She's always been in there. I see glimpses of her now and then.

Today is my Day 1.


Thing(s) I learned today: Kathy Bates will be playing Charlie Harper's ghost on April 30th in Two and a Half Men. I stopped watching that show years ago and gave it another chance at the start of this season. Didn't last long at all. But I may tune in for this episode just to see what happens.

I Don't Think We're In Kansas Anymore!

Somehow, when I changed my alarm last night, I also managed to turn my clock back an hour. So instead of getting up at 6:41, I got up at 5:41! I snoozed a few times - as I often do. When I looked at my alarm clock, it said it was 7:31 so I said screw it - I won't walk today. Then I picked up my phone and it said 6:31! At that point it seemed silly not to get up and go walking.


Holy Wind Batman! I almost got blown away!! But it sure was nice out. The wind helped keep me a little cooler than I would have been.


I walked the farthest I've walked thus far. Usually I walk about half a mile and then head home. Today I walked .7 mile and then turned around for a little under 1.5 miles. Not a ton more, but a little bit more every day!


On the radio this morning was some dude talking signs and moons and all kinds of weirdness. People called in and based on their birth date and time of birth - he gave them a reading. Honestly, I think most of his readings could fit anyone!


I think I'm going to do a Song Of The Day (as heard on WXLO). A song that I hear on my walk that speaks to me. Today's Song of the Day: Grenade by Bruno Mars.
