New attitude

This afternoon I wanted to run out to the area health food store and pick up some carob energy squares. As I was walking out to my car, my inner fit chick said "Why not walk? It's only about 8 or 9 blocks away. You don't have any pressing engagements. It's a gorgeous day. Why waste the gas when you can burn some fat?"

So I walked.

To the store and back.

And at such a pace that I was actually winded when I got back from the store. It was a workout.

I've walked this path before for morning exercise, but never for an errand.

It felt so good. Not just the walking, but making the choice to walk. I've been to that store umpteen times in good weather and it never occurred to me to walk.
