Starting the journey to fitness on the Appalachian Trail in June. I took a weekend to connect with my daughter, a Ph.D. student in rehabilitation at Old Dominion University, to do some unwinding and hiking in the mountains. I had to practice a lot of self-love and awareness to get to this point. The hike was 4.5 miles and I was able to complete 3.5 miles of it before my ankle and the rest of my body ran out of gas. Still, I did complete about 7000 steps. I will honor this 56 year old body with gentle order and loveliness as much as possible. Lately, I have added two days of one hour circuit training and one hour of yoga each week to my exercise routine at COVA church in Virginia Beach. If you follow the link below, you will see my lovely, brave, and brilliant daughter on the left. I have the exercise thing figured out thanks to her and now she is working on the diet thing with me. If I do the diet change (forever) and the exercise thing at the SAME TIME, nothing can stop me. A million small steps though…one at a time. Check out the link to see if you would like to join the various age and ability groups in a positive environment that makes me like exercise again!
