Last week I was out of town on a work trip and ate out every meal. Why is it that I couldn't just do something simple? When I'm on vacation I always think that I have to try some favorite local joint. I'm not going to miss out on anything. Food is food. As a result I had a lot of calories and not much exercise. Oh dear. This week I'm broke so that solves the eating out problem. Monday I hiked up Bells Canyon to the lower reservoir. Tuesday I went up Big Cottonwood Canyon and did a short yet steep hike. Wednesday I decided to walk to the post office to mail a package instead of drive the 5 minutes it takes to get there by car. On the way home I took a less direct route and ended up being gone for 2 hours.
The best was today though. I swam laps in the pool at the gym for 45 minutes. Gliding my arms up and over the water to the rhythm of my breathing is such a soothing form of exercise. I think of myself as slim and athletic. Sliding through the water like a dolphin. Why don't I swim more often? Why do I make excuses to not exercise? I feel so much better when I'm done so why wouldn't I want that?
