My co-worker and I have started walking around the nearby lake on a daily basis. It will be getting hot soon, so we've switched our afternoon walks to morning walks. We keep a good pace (finally, there's someone who walks as fast as I do!), and our record so far is 2 miles in 38 minutes. Having the lake so close to the office and not making frequent use of it is stupid, I think, especially since this morning, we not only saw two herons flying across the water, but we also came up close to one (as in, within 5 feet or so of it) while we were walking.
I am determined to stay out of double-digit clothing sizes. I am determined to look decent in a sundress for my father's wedding in July and in a formal dress for my sister's wedding next April. I am determined to not be ashamed to be seen in a bathing suit this summer or during my trip to Australia in December (it will be summer there in December). I am determined to get more decent sleep on a regular basis instead of waking up several times a night and feeling fatigued during the day. I am determined to control my temper and my mouth at work. I am determined to stop turning to food when I am stressed or depressed. Walking seems to be helping with all of these things. St. Augustine had the right idea.
And then I read this morning that Neil Gaiman's Stardust goes into film production today and that Rupert Everett will be in it, and I've remembered that I have Monday off, and my bookcase did arrive finally, so it all puts me in a good mood.
